The Gardiner Library hosts a special Yoga Nidra class for the New Year with Wendy Blair on Sunday January 12 from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. This Daring to Rest Yoga Nidra Gathering: Rest Cleanse for the New year is a special 3 hour gathering that will help to slow down to reset your body and mind for the New Year. This class asks for a $20 suggested donation.

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.
