Sacred Rest: A Yoga Nidra & Sound Meditation Journey
Workshop Description: Join Gaby Colletta for a 75 minute journey into the heart of sacred rest practices. In this workshop, we will explore subtle body healing and conscious creation through the state of Yoga Nidra against the backdrop of sound medicine. Yoga Nidra translates to ‘Yogic Sleep’ yet in this state we enter a wakeful presence.Through meditative inquiry, intentional relaxation and visualization, we not only connect to the innate healing wisdom of our bodies but we tap into our essential nature and discovery pathways to co-create with reality. Research shows that Yoga Nidra increases stress resilience, supports nervous system regulation and integration, improves sleep and enhances creativity. Our Yoga Nidra session includes journaling, gentle movement, breathwork and the vibrational sounds of Himalayan singing bowls. Consider this an invitation to unwind, receive and drop into deep rest. Our practice will include • A brief introduction to Yoga Nidra, its origins and benefits • Guided intention and cultivation of sankalpa • Gentle movement & breathwork to support the nervous system • Guided Yoga Nidra session with sound bath No yoga experience necessary. We’ll begin seated and drop into deep rest in supported savasana (corpse pose) for practice. Bring a mat, comfy clothes, a journal and an open mind. Eligible for 2 hrs Yoga Alliance CE with submission of reflection assignment.
