Join Mandi Hood (she/they) for this new offering at Yoga Punx PDX each new moon (or close to it!) for an hour of sacred sound and healing rest. ✨ We will be commencing this monthly series on the full moon this month (Friday, December 17), and continuing every new moon after the new year. In-person only— Check out the Burning Spirits Yoga calendar to register! ✨ Yoga (union) nidra (sleep) is a guided meditation to a state of deep rest and relaxation. In this state of deep rest, you’ll access an inner awareness and receptivity to healing, transformation, and wholeness. While yoga nidra is typically done lying down, you can find any comfortable position you like! Get comfy with bolsters, blankets, straps, chairs, and blocks and take deep rest. ✨ With her harmonium, Mandi will guide you from the restful awareness of yoga nidra to deep meditation with mantra. Mantra is a form of repeated mediation and prayer. Repeating mantra focuses the mind; the vibrations of sound cleanse the layers of our being (koshas). ✨ On the new moon, we can use these practices to release what no longer serves us and make space for that which does.
