Gentle Yoga and Yoga Nidra

This hour of bliss is gentle yoga that is slower paced, with less intense positions, and includes extended time for meditation, yogic breath work, and relaxation. Yoga Nidra, the last 20 minutes of class, is a systematic process of relaxing the physical body and the conscious mind, while maintaining a level of subconscious awareness: “Nidra” is commonly translated as “sleep,” but even though the body settles into that sleeping state (alpha or delta brain waves), the practitioner can still follow and benefit from the instruction. Jess will lead you through a deeply meditative, relaxation experience designed to release the mind-body from habitual reactions through the power of intention.

If you have props of your own that you wish to bring (blanket, pillow/bolster, etc) that will encourage more comfort in this practice, please bring them along.

About the Instructor

Jess I teach a syncretic yoga practice derived from 20 years of study of Hatha Yoga, Kundalini, and Vinyasa. I have a BA in Theatrical Performance from UMass Amherst and an MFA in Creative Writing/Poetry from Southern CT State University — my love of storytelling inspires my conversational approach to teaching; each class is a variation on a monthly or seasonal theme inspired by the intersection of nature, pop culture, and esoteric theory.
