    What is Yoga Nidra?

    What is Yoga Nidra?

    This workshop will help you to unpack one tool that may help promote mental health via yoga - yoga nidra. We will try and answer the following questions (and any of your own!): -what is yoga nidra? -why might yoga nidra be helpful? -how does it "work" and who might it help? -how does yoga nidra fit more widely in yoga practices and the context of our lives? -how do we start to put it into practice? Taught by James and Olivia, this workshop is 90 minutes long and will require you to have a comfy and quiet spot at home. Cushions and any other props you might use to lay down and relax are welcome but optional.

    "The Invitation" Meditation

    A short reflection and meditation based on a poem I love. The full text is below and the photograph I took at Yosemite National Park. The Invitation (Oriah Mountain Dreamer) It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing. It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love for your dream for the adventure of being alive. It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon... I want to know if you have touched the centre of your own sorrow if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have become shrivelled and closed from fear of further pain. I want to know if you can sit with pain mine or your own without moving to hide it or fade it or fix it. I want to know if you can be with joy mine or your own if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful to be realistic to remember the limitations of being human. It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself. If you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul. If you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy. I want to know if you can see Beauty even when it is not pretty every day. And if you can source your own life from its presence. I want to know if you can live with failure yours and mine and still stand at the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, "Yes." It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair weary and bruised to the bone and do what needs to be done to feed the children. It doesn't interest me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the centre of the fire with me and not shrink back. It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away. I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.
