Yoga Nidra & Chakra Workshop with Greta Friday, September 18, 7:30-9:30pm
Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning "wheel" or "circle," referring to the primary spinning energy centers located along the spine. Muladhara is our root chakra. In this workshop, we'll explore its meaning, origin, and how to access a deeper sense of grounding. We'll also move through a handful of gentle Yin poses that connect back to this intention. The workshop will end with a Yoga Nidra practice. Yoga Nidra is a guided, deep meditation. It is a practice of Pratyahara, the withdrawal of the senses, a journey of introspection and receptivity. In Yoga Nidra, we set a sankalpa. Your sankalpa is a present-tense intention, an incisive resolve. This is an invocation or an opportunity to sew a seed deep into the threads of your subconscious.
Greta is a yoga teacher trained in Vinyasa, Yin and Yoga Nidra. They did their 200HR Vinyasa teacher training in 2017 with Poseurs and have really been enjoying teaching the more reflective practices of Yin and meditation over the past year.
