Yoga Nidra invites us to empty ourselves of what no longer serves us. First we learn to recognize what is within, and then we sort out what we wish to keep and that which we wish to release. Guided imagery, sitting meditation, (this is a non movement form of yoga). Chairs are available. Studio: Guilderland Center Please register for this class through Guilderland Schools. |
