Dhayan (Meditation)

Yoga is a journey toward self-awareness. On this journey, relaxation skills help us gather the disparate energy of the body and the mind and focus them internally. Then mental distraction intrudes with less intensity and a sense of inner flexibility and calmness develops. Relaxation also prepares the personality for a still more interior practice. Through meditation, we can safely enter the quiet and inward place of the mind & heart.

Relaxation (Yoga Nidra)

Beneath the ups and downs of everyday life, there is a profound state of balance. By resting the brief period in that state we can create a resilient and stable mind even in the face of stress. That’s way each of us, on a deep level, craves relaxation- it revives our confidence and reawakens a sense of self-control. Yoga relaxation exercises quite the sense and leads us beneath the restless surface of the mind. Through relaxation, we restore a sense of inner harmony.
