Melt away tension from your body and mind through gentle movement, attention to the breath, and a return to your whole self. Pauses allow you to observe and shift patterns in your movement and thinking. Attention to places where sticky spots tend to accumulate (feet, hips, low back, neck, and shoulders) builds resilience and mobility. Techniques pulled from disciplines beyond yoga bring fresh perspective and challenges. Beginners and intermediate yogis alike will leave renewed and radiant! Please bring a yoga mat, 2 blankets (or thick towels) and a yoga block. Premium yoga mats available at MCEC: click here to order online or call 952-401-6800.

Experience Yoga Nidra in our one-hour introductory classes. Yoga Nidra seeks to guide you to the state of consciousness between waking and sleeping, where the body may deeply relax while the mind stays inwardly alert. In this space your brain can rewire negative thought patterns and reinforce new, healthy ones. An hour of Yoga Nidra can feel as restful as 4 hours of sleep. Dress comfortably. You will need a yoga mat and perhaps a blanket and cushions to rest comfortably on the floor.
