Restorative Yoga Series_2023

I’m so excited to share that I’ll be presenting a session at the upcoming Restorative Yoga Series: Making Rest Practices Accessible, hosted by the Accessible Yoga School. This live 8-part online program will explore the obstacles to making yoga’s rest practices truly accessible for everyone.

I’m honored to present alongside a diverse and dynamic group of presenters—Tamika Caston-Miller, Tejal Patel, Cheri Clampett, Shannon Kaneshige, Indu Arora, Shawn J Moore, Marlysa Sullivan & Jivana Heyman—who will look at restorative yoga in a broad and inclusive way.

My session will cover: Accessible Yoga Nidra

Yoga Nidra is an ancient practice with incredible relevance in the modern world, and a salve for modern life. With an excess of sensory stimuli, the mind stays distracted, unfocused, and restless. This often leads to physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion. Yoga Nidra is one of the most unique practices in Yoga that is geared towards increasing self-awareness through interoception, self-inquiry, and discernment. This increased self-awareness helps us to remain detached (when needed) and calm amidst the chaos and conundrum of our daily lives.

In this session, we will explore the deeper meaning of Yoga Nidra as a state, practice, and technique, and how we can make Yoga Nidra accessible without diluting either the practice or its essence.

Learn how to prepare for Yoga Nidra and move forward one step at a time towards a rested, awake, and discerning self!

Plus, throughout the series, you can expect to explore:

✨ How restorative yoga practices can be made accessible for people of color, for people with larger bodies, for disabled and chronically ill folks, and for trauma survivors

✨ The tradition of Yoga Nidra — the state of deep meditation that is so effective at giving us access to a deep place of peace within

✨ The scientific aspects of rest, including polyvagal theory and how we can make the new findings in yoga research accessible to ourselves and our students

✨The deeply spiritual experiences of restorative yoga, and how to get more connected with our spirit, with our own heart, through a consideration of the body’s limitations and our own mortality

✨ and more!

Join us for a deeply restful and expansive exploration of yoga’s rest practices.
