What we’re about
Open to all levels, including beginners. A regular yoga practice can help alleviate various physical ailments, restores and increases energy while promoting deep relaxation, and improves focus and concentration.
In addition to restoring our energy, we strengthen our connection with pure Awareness and inner reality. We focus on meditative movement, mantra, and the experience of being awareness itself to realize our Divine nature. Sound healing is often in an element in practice, whether listening to the sounds of nature in our outdoor classes or sinking into the sounds of a gong, singing bowl, or chimes. We lean in to the physical senses to learn to go beyond them with the power of attention.
All classes at this time are offered by Sandy Naimou, www.creativeenergyyoga.com

...is a guided technique to help you achieve a deep state of relaxation while you remain awake. What results is the arrival at a higher state of consciousness, optimal for healing, learning and spiritual growth and transformation.How is this accomplished?
The Yoga Nidra guide uses systematic techniques to guide your awareness. You do nothing but relax on a yoga mat, maybe nestle into a blanket, and listen.
What's it like?
It's unique for each individual and unique from session to session. This state might be reflected internally as one that is flowing in the sea of life, of awareness, which is both healing and enlightening.
At the physical level the brain itself will come to a slower rate of vibration, towards the Alpha brain state, and possibly even the Theta state. Theta is equated with a meditative state of consciousness. Body consciousness eventually is lulled to a comforting sleep while higher mental faculties remain awake.
It's a time to counteract our busy lifestyles, slow time down, stop doing, and just be.
How can it help me?
Research shows that 30 minutes of Yoga Nidra is equivalent to 4 hours of deep sleep, giving the body a thorough opportunity to rest and heal. Yoga Nidra nourishes the body, yes, and more than that. Yoga Nidra is steeped in spiritual and meditative elements based on Tantric techniques that facilitate more than just relaxation—Yoga Nidra seeks to explore the nature of consciousness, potentially leading to spiritual awakening.
What do I do?
Once you lie down, there's nothing for you to do. You'll be guided into a higher state of consciousness through Yoga Nidra techniques. Because you'll have effortlessly achieved deep relaxation through verbal instruction, you'll easily delve into creative visualization as part of our exploration of consciousness.
In that state, sound healing instruments including crystal singing bowls, a gong, and other harmonic sounds, will help you maintain a yogic sleep. Body, mind and soul will rest in the receptive and nonjudgmental mode of Being. The typical experience is beyond words. Sandy will specially prepare a nourishing herbal tea blend which we'll share to close our time together.
