Resting in Reiki

A Yoga Nidra Series to Welcome Spring

Nurture yourself with the potent combination of Yoga Nidra and Reiki. Rita’s gentle voice will support your nervous system as it shifts to the parasympathetic state, where healing happens.

To amplify that healing during class, Rita will share distant Reiki: a gentle energy practice from Japan rooted in the Buddhist lineage.

These items are recommended for optimal comfort during the practice:

• Comfortable clothes

• Anything that would optimize your comfort, including but not limited to: blankets, cushion for your knees and head, and an eye pillow (scarves work great too!)

• Lotion and/or essential oil in a carrier oil. Pick a scent that you find restful and not stimulating. Lavender is often a go to.

• Hydration or small snacks; avoid caffeine before the practice

• Journal or paper, pencil. Colored pencils if you would prefer to draw, instead of writing.

What you receive:

• 4 live nidra classes on Zoom.

• Recordings of the classes available for your personal practice or if the class date/time doesn’t work for your schedule through the month of April.

• Curated list of resources on Reiki and Nidra.

• Email access to yoga nidra teacher Rita Jimenez during the series.

Registration closes on April 8th.
