Yoga Nidra

To take this 30 minutes break in the middle of the day you’ll want to find a quiet place in which to lie down or to sit comfortably. Once settled, close or soften the eyes and allow yourself to be guided into effortless relaxation in a practice designed to quiet the mind, relieve mental and physical stress, and gently bring you home to your peaceful self. You will enter the virtual space on mute without concern for disturbing others. It is your choice to be on or off camera.

The June 14th session will be the last one before Yoga Nidra Mid-Day Reset takes a break. We thank Cathrine for her continued support and commitment to our community.

Suggested Donation: $10

Our programs are also open to the community, and tailored to meet the needs of people affected by cancer. Classes and workshops are free or low cost on a pay-as-you-can basis, ensuring that our programs are accessible to everyone.
