The Art of Deep Rest: An Introduction to Yoga Nidra
27th October | 6 - 7:30pm UK TIME
In a culture that celebrates constant doing, true rest can feel hard to reach. Yet rest is more than stepping back or switching off. It is a conscious practice of softening, restoring and opening to deeper states of awareness that our busy lives rarely allow.
In this free community talk, our Just Breathe mentor and senior teacher Pavlina explores the role of deep rest in modern life and introduces Yoga Nidra — a layered, living practice that offers profound restoration on many levels, while also inviting clarity and insight. Together we’ll reflect on our relationship with rest, experience a guided practice, and explore how Yoga Nidra can be both timeless and adaptable to the needs of today.
Welcome this invitation to pause, receive and discover a practice that nourishes body, mind and heart.
