Sue Borchardt will be teaching a yoga nidra class at Ojas Wellness in Mount Washington this Sunday, January 18 from 2 to 3:15 p.m. Ojas is a beautiful studio with props to make you most comfortable during the practice. A single drop-in is $18 but if you’ve never been to Ojas you can get a two-class introductory card for only $10!

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.
