About
the Event:
Learn to Relax through the Yoga of Sleep - Yoga Nidra
We
do not really sleep in yoga nidra, but through the process of doing it we
learn a new way to deeply relax body and mind. Yoga Nidra is
practiced the entire time while laying on a yoga mat in savasansa -
corpse pose. You might bring a blanket to keep you warm or for comfort
(even to support your knees) and of course, wear comfortable
clothing.
The instructor walks you through a relaxation process and meditation.
Once you begin to master the relaxation that can be uncovered through
Yoga Nidra, you might even feel incredibly refreshed as well as relaxed.
They say an hour of Yoga
Nidra can be like 4 hours of sleep
In addition, this special yoga nidra experience includes
further relaxation and meditation while listening to an alchemy crystal
sound bowl.
Please plan for up to 1.5 hours for this event. To begin
you will experience the process of Yoga Nidra. The alchemy crystal
bowl is then played to deepen the relaxation and enhance your overall
experience. The total amount of time that the bowl will be played is
determined in real time.
The
tones produced by the crystal bowls, including the one for this event,
are not just heard by the ear, one feels them in the body, with certain
tones affecting the energy centers (chakras) for healing, balancing &
meditation.
Should time permit, a question and answer period will be
offered.

About the teacher
Deb's stressful days working on the Hill led her to
discover yoga. As her practice grew to taking a class a day, she decided
to learn more because of all that she was gaining mentally, physically,
and spiritually. To expand her understanding she took teacher training,
and has found her home in teaching yoga. She particularly enjoys
introducing adults and kids to yoga in friendly, fun and safe way,
helping students experience how yoga is for every body type and skill
level.
Deb invites students of all
levels to explore themselves and their boundaries in a safe, playful, and
engaging manner in her classes, encouraging them along their journey. Her
sense of humor shines through, bringing a sense of ease and community to
the room. Deb's background in science and education allow her to share
clear and easy to understand instructions and explanations on the poses
and other aspects of yoga.
Yoga taught Deb how to
relax (some) and to settle in to herself and the journey of life, and
sharing that with students in her yoga classes brings her true joy.

Samsara
House 2023’s strategy is to exemplify a gift-economy over the market economy, one that values giving over
having. While all events cost at least one dollar to cover utilities, any
additional contribution will go towards periodically giving half back to
a socially responsible organization or cause in need that you also help
identify. Going together as a river, we build a thriving community of
communities and pave the way for a new world. Samsara House 2023 is
a Holacracy powered organization founded by Cullen Kowalski at a
row house in Bloomingdale, New Washington, D.C.
