Short and sweet yoga nidra: resting with plantitas - registration is open

My next yoga nidra series is coming up next month. It's one of my favorite offerings, combining my love of plants, herbal remedios and nidra. Join me.

I will offer a nourishing 30 minute yoga nidra to support your rest for 4 Thursday evenings.  My intention is to support you in aligning with the energy of spring and support sleep.  Feel free to practice in your pjs in bed.   I will not guide you out of nidra, i.e. you can remain resting and drift off to sleep….

Once again I am collaborating with my dear friend herbalist  Jennifer Serna of Wapato Island Farm, so that you can access some magical plant allies she’s  created to support resting and the nervous system.   Ordering plant medicine from her apothecary is optional.  If you live outside of the United States, I am happy to offer some insights on plants to seek out to support your rest.  

What will you receive:  

• 4 live nidra classes on Zoom

• Recordings of the classes available for your personal practice until my next series starts in the fall!  A whole summer’s worth of nidra practice.  

• Handout on Jennifer’s plant medicines with suggestions on using her remedios which support rest and relaxation. 

• Register early so you have time to order those before the series begins. 

• Email access to me during the series for any questions that arise.  

May 1, 8, 15, 22 (Thursday evenings) 8:30 pm Pacific Standard Time

Rest is Resistance yoga nidra series is coming in April

Registration is open for my Rest is Resistance Nidra series.

Each Thursday evening in April I will offer you nourishing time in the nidra state, the liminal space between sleep and wakefulness.  I have crafted nidras with quotes and affirmations from the amazing book by Tricia Hersey.  After the nidra you will also have some time to free write/journal/draw with some prompts connected to resting and resisting.  

As always, I will record the nidras, so if Thursday evenings don’t work for your schedule, you can still access my offerings at a time and day that works for you.  

I highly recommend reading this powerful book, but you don’t need to have read the book to enjoy this series.  

In a time where our resistance and love is so needed, it's so important to downregulate our nervous systems to think well and care for ourselves and our community.  I look at practicing nidra as putting your oxygen mask on first.

What do my students say??

“Thank you for this series that has guided us into rest since October. It's been incredible and a big part of my third trimester journey. During labor at the hospital, I played your nidra recordings, I also listened to the one you made personalized to me during labor. I'm so grateful.”

I really appreciate Rita's soothing voice as she guides us into our Nidra practice. Infeel completely supported and nurtured in this space. I like that she pulls from other resources to teach us new things. Having an oracle card to connect with was really special and resonated with me a lot. Thank you Rita! I look forward to future series!!

Yoga Nidra has come into my life at the perfect time. I had only just heard of the practice when Rita's class fell into my lap. I am so grateful to be working with Rita to learn about and explore Nidra and Reiki. Rita is supportive and encouraging and her Nidra practices invite calm, non-judgmental rest and reflection. My dog loves it, too! She calms down alongside me and her whole body is relaxed. It's lovely.

Yoga nidra - what is it? A bit of me the nidra teacher and a short nidra practice!

A friend and fellow yoga teacher Sarah Nelsen interviewed me for her podcast to talk about all things yoga nidra.  So if you are curious about what yoga nidra is and my background as a yoga teacher, give this short podcast a listen.  

At the end I offer a short nidra practice, so you can actually experience one of my nidras.

Enjoy!
