The Gardiner Library hosts a monthly Yoga Nidra class with Wendy Blair beginning on Sunday October 20 from 12:00 to 1:00 PM. These Community Rest Circles will 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.
Wendy Blair, LCSW-R is a holistic psychotherapist, accredited certified Emotional Freedom Technique/EFT “tapping” practitioner, and a Daring To Rest Yoga Nidra Facilitator. For questions, contact Wendy at wblair@wendyfblair.com.
All classes take place in the library community room. The next class will take place on Sunday November 17. The community room is equipped with T-coil technology for those with compatible hearing aids and cochlear implants.
