Nidra Meditation & Restorative Yoga

A Half-Day Retreat ~ 9.27.22

Join us for a morning of deep healing. Gina will lead us through our restorative yoga practice to prepare our bodies and minds. Then Ed will transition us gracefully into our guided meditation: a journey using the technique of Yoga Nidra. We will experience complete physical, emotional and mental relaxation - and increased inner awareness.


By completing this form I am committing to attendance at the Half-Day Retreat and associated payment ($40/person or $65/couple).
