17-25 May Yoga Nidra retreats with Ian Melrose – 9 day. The full retreat cost is from $295 and a donation at the end of the retreat. This is an ancient Himalayan supine guided meditation, also called yogic sleep. It is a spiritual path, also extremely helpful for relaxation and healing mento-emotional- physical stress patterns. It is not a yoga posture practice. The ‘goals’ of yoga nidra are peace, happiness and joy called samadhi, where there’s connection to everyone and everything.  Yoga Nidra enquires into the nature of everything and answers the question of who we are.
