The Gardiner Library hosts a Yoga Nidra class with Wendy Blair on Sunday December 15 from 12:00 to 1:00 PM. These Community Rest Circles occur monthly on the third Sunday and ask for a suggested donation of $10 for the library. Yoga Nidra is a form of guided meditation that uses a combination of intention-setting, guided body scan, breath work and imagery as gateways to reducing mental, emotional and physical tensions. Practiced consistently over time, YN provides a way to reduce stress and anxiety, and increase a sense of calm and emotional wellbeing. There will be a brief check-in to start, followed by intention-setting for the experience (that will be woven into the meditation), a 30-45 minute guided mediation, and will conclude with a short period for feedback.
