Candlelight Yin + Yoga Nidra Returns Next Month

By Events

Look ahead with a renewed, focused mindset. Candlelight Yin + Yoga Nidra is a great way to get started on closing out 2020 and preparing for 2021! 

Join Michelle on Sunday, Dec. 6 from 4:30 p.m. – 6 p.m. for a special 90-minute class, during which you’ll have an opportunity to slow down, examine your thoughts and, most importantly, make self-care a top priority. 

Yin improves concentration and flexibility, and yoga nidra has been proven to activate the body’s relaxation response. Together, this combination is very powerful for your body and your mind.

Yoga nidra improves the function of the nervous system and endocrine system. It helps cells in your body regenerate and repair, decrease anxiety and improve your mood. 

Additional studies indicate that yoga nidra can help lower blood pressure and cholesterol, and improve blood glucose fluctuations and symptoms associated with diabetes. 

Candlelight Yin + Yoga Nidra is a great way to end your weekend and get prepared for the week – and more – ahead!

It’s open to the public at a special drop-in rate of $15. Reserve your spot by clicking here.

This class will be offered in the studio (limited capacity) and online. Please register online for the option you wish to choose. Online participants will receive a link to join 15 minutes before the class begins.

We look forward to sharing this special class with you!

Another Special 2-Studio Virtual Yin + Yoga Nidra on Friday, May 22

By Events

Our first virtual two-studio Yin + Yoga Nidra class was such a great success that we’re offering it again! This special class will connect Sterling Hot Yoga & Wellness and Hot Yoga Houston, the first original hot yoga studio in Texas, on Friday, May 22 from 6:30 p.m. – 8 p.m.

Michelle Ryan, who teaches at Sterling Hot Yoga & Wellness and guest teaches at Hot Yoga Houston, will lead the Yin + Yoga Nidra class via livestream. 

Reserve your spot in the class on Mind Body as you would for any other livestreaming class. Once you register, you will receive an email from the studio through which you sign up 30 minutes before class begins. This special class will be free for the benefit of our students and anyone who wants to join us!

Yin + Yoga Nidra is a powerful practice that combines 60 minutes of a yin yoga practice, followed by 30 minutes of an often relaxing, yet energizing yoga nidra. 

You are welcome to use your own blocks, bolsters, firm pillows, blankets, etc., to support yourself during the yin practice and make yourself comfortable during the yoga nidra portion.

Sign up today using this link to reserve your spot in this special class!

 

Candlelight Yin + Yoga Nidra Will Return Sooner Than Planned!

By Events

Wow! We had such a great response to our Candlelight Yin + Yoga Nidra class last month that we’ve decided to host another one even sooner!

Candlelight Yin + Yoga Nidra will combine the slower-paced (and unheated!) practice of yin yoga with the calming meditation of a yoga nidra.

Don’t miss it on Sunday, September 29 from 4:30 p.m. – 6 p.m.! Reserve your spot here!

Yin yoga is practiced on the floor and features longer-held postures, which helps improve flexibility, patience and stillness.

Paired with yoga nidra, or “yogic sleep,” the two practices are relaxing and energizing.

In the powerful “dream state” of yoga nidra, the goal is not to sleep. Instead this powerful guided meditation helps address and alleviate many medical conditions, as well as reducing anxiety and depression, resetting negative thought patterns and beliefs, and more.

Non-Sterling members can experience this class at a special drop-in rate of $10. Reserve your spot here!

Be aware that this class fills up quickly, and while we do provide props, such as blocks and bolsters, at the studio, you are welcome to bring your own, as well as a blanket, small pillow or eye pillow to help make you comfortable during the yoga nidra.
