Bryn’s yoga class:

Amrit yoga, created by Yogi Amrit Desai is a holistic system of yoga that is designed to create stillness of the mind, inner strength, flexibility and integration of body, mind and spirit. The class begins with a breathing exercise to activate prana or life-force, 26 postures are performed slowly with breath and inward focus and the class ends with a deep relaxation. The postures have a “yang aspect” where you hold the pose and breathe into sensation and a “yin” aspect where you are still, relaxed and feel the life energy flowing and integrating the body/mind. It teaches you how to move from doing to being. This particular style of yoga practice is very powerful and useful both on the mat as well as off the mat because it teaches you how to accept whatever arises in your life without reacting to it. Beginners as well as advanced students are welcome to this class.

Norman's and Bryn's Yoga Nidra class:   [Click Here for Flyer]

Yoga Nidra is a deep, sleep state in which you are completely relaxed and calm yet fully aware at the same time. Using conscious breath, visualization, affirmation and mantra (sacred sound) you enter into the deepest place of restful peace.  When you enter into this spacious realm of inner peace your own true nature is revealed, a place of blissful serenity where your reactions to life become loosened and released and you become the silent observer of your life without choosing right or wrong, good or bad. The body-mind-emotions become aligned and balanced and blockages are released. The more you inhabit this space the easier it is to get there, the longer you can stay there until you essentially dwell in a place of peace and serenity.

Similar to the deepest state of meditation  completely Yoga Nidra is typically practiced lying down although it can also be performed in a seated position.
