Lockdown has opened our eyes to how busy and stressful our lives can be. 

Do you wonder how you used to fit everything and everyone in? 

Does the thought of going back to all that busy-ness stress you out? 

Or perhaps lockdown is opening up a whole new set of stresses? 

Are you concerned about finances, work opportunities, going into crowded places?

2021 is going to be challenging. There's going to be lots of change and uncertainty for all of us. Whilst there will always be things outside of our control, our stress is something we can manage, with the right tools.

Yoga Nidra, translated as yogic sleep, is a sleep-based meditation technique that has been proven to effectively help manage stress, promoting a calmer, more balanced way of navigating whatever life brings.

During this six-week course, we will explore the biology of stress and the differences between eustress (positive stress), distress and chronic stress. We will learn about the science behind Yoga Nidra, about what happens to the brain during the practice, and about why it is such an effective relaxation and stress management tool.

Each class will include a full guided experience of I AM Yoga Nidra, the Integrated Amrit Method of Yoga Nidra, and the opportunity to ask questions. Yoga Nidra recordings will be provided so that you can practice at home between sessions.

Make yourself comfortable at home, somewhere where you can relax and be undisturbed. You will be lying down for most of this session, experiencing Yoga Nidra, so have your yoga mat or something soft to lie on handy, a cushion or pillow and a blanket.

We will not be recording these classes. One of the unique aspects of the College's online courses is that they are highly interactive. Participants are encouraged to discuss and share with the tutor and the group. These sharings can be very personal, and some may not feel comfortable with them being recorded. If you need to miss any sessions, your tutor will be happy to offer a brief outline of the material covered.
