Finding Stillness ~ Yoga Nidra with Renee

~An experience of deep rest and replenishment~

Rest until you feel like playing, then play until you feel like resting, period. Never do anything else ~ Martha Beck

These times are grueling; we’re all exhausted. One of the essential strategies for mitigating stressful times is to REST. Rest restores our energy levels, helps us integrate and re-calibrate, boosts productivity and problem-solving, and helps us create sustainability in a world that never slows down.

My friend and women’s health expert Dr. Claudia Welch says, “If we feel tired, we think something is wrong. Nothing is wrong. We are just tired. We need rest. Sometimes a lot of it, if we’ve gone for years vetoing our body’s signals.”

Join me for an afternoon of Yoga Nidra and self-care (learn more about Yoga Nidra–a deep relaxation practice– here). You will:

  • Enjoy a long, luscious Yoga Nidra (called yogic sleep) session for deep relaxation
  • Cultivate self-compassion and self-acceptance for exactly where you are
  • Rest, relax and reconnect with your body’s natural rhythms
  • Meditate in stillness for enhanced peace and harmony

This session is for men and women of all ages and life stages. Enjoy authentic connection and soulful nurturing. No prior experience necessary. 

It’s very important that we re-learn the art of resting and relaxing. Not only does it help prevent the onset of many illnesses that develop through chronic tension and worrying; it allows us to clear our minds, focus, and find creative solutions to problems. Thich Nhat Hanh

Join a circle of amazing men/women from Western North Carolina for an afternoon of deep rest and replenishment. Size is very limited and we will be socially distanced (see COVID precautions below).

Location and date:

Coming soon-TBA. The location is in beautiful downtown Brevard, NC, just south of Asheville.  Our quiet space has a labyrinth and is nested in the trees you may use before or after our session; location address will be emailed to you upon registration. Parking is easy and ample.

Details:

You will need to bring a yoga mat (ideally two), two pillows, a blanket, an eye mask (optional), wear comfortable clothing (sweats or loose clothes are encouraged) and bring a journal/pen and water bottle.  Due to the nature of our times, we won’t be able to provide snacks or tea.

Cost:

TBD to help with overhead; this is my gift to you. Note: size is very limited. Typically these sessions sell-out weeks in advance. If the link is still up, you may register.
