Awareness of our inner life can be fostered by reducing mental chatter through various meditation techniques, such as guided meditation or focusing on a sound, image, mantra, candle flame, or breath. These practices lead us to inner peace.

In the tantric meditation tradition, we adopt an observer’s perspective, mindfully acknowledging our thoughts without attachment. These thoughts drift by like clouds, and witnessing them helps quiet the "monkey mind," a metaphor for our restless thoughts that leap from past to future. By providing the mind with a focal point—be it guided meditation, breath, or a mantra—we can access a deep sense of stillness, tranquility and peace.

Meditation is not only effective for releasing stress but also offers numerous health benefits, including enhanced brain function, a strengthened immune system, increased vitality, and improved sleep quality.

Yoga Nidra is a powerful practice that teaches you to relax consciously. The term "Yoga" means union or inner communication, while "Nidra" translates to sleep. Thus, Yoga Nidra literally means "Yogic Sleep." However, it is not sleep in the traditional sense; it is often described as "sleepless sleep." During the practice, you remain aware, awake, and alert, but your consciousness operates at different levels of awareness.

In this class, you'll find a cozy spot to snuggle under your own blanket, enhancing your comfort. Lying on your mat with your eyes closed, the teacher will guide you through various layers of awareness using different definite techniques, leading your mind to a calm and harmonious state that facilitates deep meditation. Therefore, Yoga Nidra can also be considered a form of meditation.
