If you haven't already heard, I begin teaching a new permanent class this week. I am so excited!

Join me for some end of the workweek chill-time at Restorative/ Meditation, every Friday at 5:30pm, Yoga by Degrees in Downers Grove, 54 Ogden Ave.

Once upon a time ago, I taught the first permanent restorative/ meditation class at Yoga by Degrees in Western Springs. I have been missing this class and am really looking forward to teaching this format again. The first 30 minutes is spent preparing the body for meditation with gentle yin and restorative stretches. The second half of the class features yoga nidra meditation.

Yoga Nidra or 'yogic sleep' is a nourishing meditation. Practitioners traditionally set an intention and are guided through the ancient system of koshas to ease into a hypnagogic state of bliss. This form of meditation is guided and great for both beginners and long time meditators. I will add my own touches and enhance the experience with my crystal bowls and other sound healing instruments.

Finally, looking forward to seeing many of you at our Wednesday night Virtual Restorative class at 8pm CT. It has been absolutely lovely to reconnect with virtual students over the past month and I am thrilled to be able to continue offering it until the end of the year. Don't forget to sign up and please tell your friends about it.

In the meantime, wishing everyone a safe and Happy Halloween!

Blessings to all.
