Starting in January 2009, the yoga nidra practice at breathe books in Hampden will shift an hour earlier beginning at 4 p.m. Come experience yoga nidra, the sleep of awakening, and learn a simple and transformative practice that can be applied in all aspects of being - physical, emotional, mental, and social. The practice is conducted lying down so no previous yoga experience or physical ability is necessary.

Since breathe is not a yoga studio there are only a few props so bring along blankets, cushions, or other padding to make yourself comfortable on the floor (or in a chair if you prefer).

This practice happens on the fourth sunday of every month.

Cost: donation

Join me at Ojas Wellness for a post-holiday stress-reducing workshop. We’ll have plenty of time to deeply relax and still the waters with body sensing, yoga nidra, and other accessible meditative practices both still and moving. There is no previous yoga experience required so it can be a wonderful gift for those on your list who could benefit from relaxation skills.

Wind down from the holiday while gearing up for the new year with a calm clear outlook. The cost of the workshop is $25 and you can sign up in advance on Ojas’ website. Ojas is located in the Mount Washington Village and parking is provided.

On the 3rd Sunday of every month, Paula Laird Berzanksi leads a yoga nidra practice at Ojas Wellness Center in Owings Mills. Please verify time/location at www.ojaswellness.com.

Paula Berzanski was certified as a Yoga teacher by the renowned American Viniyoga Institute and the Kripalu Centre of Yoga and Health completing more than 700 hours of instruction. She is also a certified Yoga Therapist and Positional Release Therapist. Her instruction includes postures, meditation and breathing. She specializes in working with the “mature” student, those with physical challenges and teaching the students how to adapt postures to suit their own, unique needs. As a person living with a chronic pain condition herself, she brings a level of expertise that allows any one to practice Yoga.

Paula first began teaching Yoga Nidra as substitute. She began to see positive changes in students brought on by the practice, and began to teach her own Yoga Nidra classes in 2007. She has seen first-hand, that Yoga Nidra is a restorative practice and a perfect adjunct to Yoga with postures.

1st sunday yoga nidra class at quantum yoga continues. This class is taught by Sue Borchardt. There is no set fee charged - students are free to donate as they are able. We encourage you to attend even if you are unable to make a donation. Have no idea what yoga nidra is? look here

Harbor East Yoga Nidra classes are taking off at the mac. We’ve moved the time earlier to make it so you can attend the morning yoga flow class and then roll right into a lovely yoga nidra. Second Sunday of every month.

Sue Borchardt will be offering a two introductory yoga nidra workshops at Charm City Yoga’s Midtown Location. These will be 1.5 hour classes that will incorporate both a hatha yoga practice and a long yoga nidra practice. Students can use their class cards or drop-in at the regular Midtown Class drop-in rate of $15 per class. Come to one or both classes. No pre-registration required.

Due to me newly started Master’s program, I’ll be canceling the August Yoga Nidra practices at both MACs. The good news is there are plenty of opportunities to practice at other locations in August. Check the calendar for details of newly announced Charm City workshops.
