Join us at Chill Yoga Studio in Lewiston on FRIDAY 3/20 for a Yin Equinox Nidra to celebrate the Vernal Equinox and to honor the moon phases of March. Gentle, supported Yin Yoga with Maitreyi Kim Nixon, Yoga Nidra guided meditation with Maheshwari Julie Gammon, a little astrology, a little sacred ceremony, and some deep self-care. Set your sankalpa (intention) and shed what is no longer serving you. You will emerge from this special experience with a deep sense of peace and well-being, rejuvenated, feeling connected and ready to share your divine Self!

All props are available at the studio, but an extra blanket would be helpful (and your own mat if you like).

YIN YOGA is a quiet, meditative practice that works on all levels of the being. In Yin Yoga, floor postures are held passively for several minutes in order to access the deep layers of connective tissue. Physically, Yin Yoga helps us to open our bodies and to restore and maintain range of motion in the joints. Energetically, it opens the body's meridian system, enhancing the energetic flow. Through its emphasis on stillness and silence, Yin Yoga prepares both the body and the mind for deeper experiences in meditation. (No previous yoga experience is required. Beneficial for all body types, including those with joint issues. )
YOGA NIDRA is a specific type of guided meditation which leads you through connection with the 5 sheaths of your being (physical, prana/energy, mental, intellect, and bliss koshas). They get damaged and blocked by the traumas we experience in our lives, and the superconscious state of yoga nidra helps us to heal and reintegrate them. It is essentially the yogic version of a shamanic soul retrieval. The superconscious state of yoga nidra has been shown to accelerate healing and learning.
