This experiential, collaborative webinar introduces you to Total Yoga Nidrā. Yoga nidrā is a cosmic nap, a horizontal meditation, the sleep of the yogis. Here is your chance to lay down and meditate upon the power of rest, to encounter yoga nidrā in the comfort of your own home. This webinar gives you a direct encounter with this liminal state of consciousness, a chance to explore what it is, where it comes from, and how it feels.
All you need to do is make a comfortable nest of rest for yourself, with a mat, or a sofa, or even a bed upon which to rest and simply be supported through expert facilitation in an online community of other restful humans. There is nothing that you need to do: lie down in your comfortable little nest of rest, and listen.
This is a radical act of community rest, during which we shall collaborate to make a co-creative yoga nidrā to support the collective restoration of health and well-being of humans, and the more-than-human world, including the living earth. You will be given the opportunity to call in what you need to hear as you rest. Your expert facilitators, who have over sixty years of combined experience in sharing yoga nidrā, will work with your words, to create a uniquely collaborative yoga nidrā with acoustic instrumentation and gentle soundscape.
There will also be opportunities to learn a little about the ancient and indigenous histories of yoga nidrā and to ask questions about its contemporary relevance, at a time when most of the human species is profoundly exhausted. This webinar gives you an embodied experience of yoga nidrā, and a taste of some of the deeper issues and teachings that will be presented in the upcoming Advaya course on Yoga Nidrā: Yoga Nidrā Shakti: the power of rest - an experiential exploration of the history, philosophy, art and science of Yoga Nidrā.
Uma Dinsmore-Tuli, author of Yoga Nidrā Made Easy and Nidrā Shakti: the Power of Rest, an Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Yoga Nidrā is your facilitator for this webinar, and she will be supported by Nirlipta Tuli, co-founder of the Yoga Nidra Network. Together they will hold a restful and nurturing space to provide you with a direct encounter with the power of rest in the form of Total Yoga Nidrā.
