The 2nd Thursday of each month. The literal translation of Yoga Nidra is Yogic Sleep. It is an ancient form of meditation that will take you into the deepest levels of relaxation while still remaining fully aware. As you progressively enter into deeper levels of yoga nidra you become more relaxed, integrated, expansive and present which will be taken into your everyday life.

Come to this class not only to learn the postures, but to also gain a greater understanding of the body and mind. Learn to focus your awareness throughout your practice and quiet the “mind-chatter” that often rules our lives. This class is open to beginners of all levels, and even to more experienced students who would like to refine their practice.

Think yoga is for women? Think again. For 98% of yoga’s 5000+ year history, yoga was practiced almost exclusively by men. Think you are not flexible enough to do yoga? You do not need to be flexible to do yoga – yoga creates flexibility. Concerned about how you will look doing yoga? No worries - no one will be watching you as all are encouraged to savor their experience. Concerned that someone will twist you into a pretzel? Pretzels are for eating, not a yoga studio. Yoga is great for those who participate in sports. Many sports work one side of the body more than the other; yoga helps balance this out. This is not a vigorous, heated, or power class. The Village Wellness Center is happy to create the time and space for men to experience yoga in a relaxed, safe, comfortable and non-competitive environment.
