(in place of the Thursday Gentle Flow class)
July 15, Thursday
6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
P1,200
Yin Yoga, or Taoist Yoga, improves the flow of prana through the body to prepare for meditation, targeting the connective tissues such as the ligaments, bones, and even joints of the body that normally are not exercised very much in a more active style of asana practice. As one of the deepest of all meditations, Yoga Nidra, known as “Yogic Sleep,” brings an incredible state of calmness, quietness, and clarity, leading awareness through many levels of mental processes to a state of supreme stillness and insight. In Yoga Nidra, you leave the Waking state, go through the Dreaming state, and into the Deep Sleep state, yet remain fully awake.
