Yin & Nidra
with Mariaelena Mendoza

Open up and relax the body with sweet Yin poses followed by a Nidra Meditation. In this class you will be guided through a slow moving class that targets the connective tissue through seated and lying postures held for longer periods of time with the assistance of blocks, straps,and bolsters. Yin compliments the more active classes offered at The Courtyard increasing circulation in the joints and improving flexibility. This class is great for all levels and those recovering from injury. You will be guided into a yoga nidra meditation that will allow the mind and body to slip into a deep state of relaxation. The brain will switch from beta to alpha waves signaling the transition from activity to meditation. Receive a deep rest and restore from within in this healing practice.
