    An opportunity to practice Yoga Nidra, an ancient healing art, with Sue Whitmarsh of True Nature Yoga & Ayurveda

    Join online via zoom only.

  • Offering total rest for both mind and body, this class gives your overworked senses a break, and cultivates profound peace through a full body-scan relaxation. The perfect antidote to physical tension, mental stress and anxiety and sleep issues, all you need do is lay down, settle in, and be guided into a state of blissful relaxation that will leave you feeling both rested and renewed, resulting in what I hope will be the best night's sleep you've had in ages!

    “Yoga Nidra is a practice of becoming a conscious creator in the world and of your own life. What do you want to create? Optimal health? Peace of mind? In a state of Yoga Nidra, you’re so relaxed, you transcend your body, your mind … you’re so relaxed it is as if your body disappears.” - Marc Halpern, President of the California College of Ayurveda

  • Soft, fluid and introspective, this class offers a slower, more easeful alternative to the traditional sun salutation vinyasa practice. After a gentle warm up, we'll move through the phases of the moon in a sequence designed to open the heart and the hips, calm the mind and soothe the nervous system.

Suitable for all levels, although an ability to get up and down off of the floor is necessary.

We’ll explore many of the traditional poses, using the chair for support, to lengthen and strengthen the spine, improve posture and balance, and relax body and mind - all without putting stress on the joints. A wonderful choice for seniors, this practice is also a great choice for beginners, those recovering from surgery and for expectant/postpartum mothers. It also offers a low impact but still very effective work-out for everyone, whatever their level of experience, and in particular those looking to work on core strength and stability. You can even adapt this practice to do at work at your desk!

Inward: Yin Yoga with Carol

  • Wednesdays
    in-person & online
    8:30 AM - 9:30 AM  
    $10

    1805 E. Ganson St., Jackson, MI

  • A slow, easeful, meditative practice, yin yoga targets the body’s deeper connective tissues - the fascia, ligaments, and tendons - where tension and tightness tend to hide out in the body. Postures are held for longer - between 2-5 minutes on average - which calls for the cultivation of conscious, mindful breathing and a deep awareness that draws us inward and results in a sense of peace and calm. Great option for those looking to develop greater flexibility in the body and a relaxed headspace. Accessible to all levels and abilities.

Afterwards, you’ll likely experience a sense of deep peace and ease. Ahhhhhhh……Suitable for everyone and particularly highly recommended if you are experiencing high levels of stress, chronic pain, anxiety, depression, insomnia, have an overly full schedule and a lot on your plate.
