An Afternoon of Nurturing Spirit - Yoga Nidra: The Power of True Rest

Creating Connection presents: An Afternoon of Nurturing Spirit every Wednesday from 3 - 4:30 pm pacific time

Yoga Nidra: The Power of True Rest

Yoga Nidra is a form of meditation that leads to a state of profound rest and relaxation, helping us release deep and lingering stress and fatigue, that often prevents us from living our life purpose. In this experiential session, Vickie will guide you through a full Yoga Nidra session to begin to release tension and pain, as well as unravel thought patterns that may be blocking your body's hidden wisdom, and the "soul whispers" that arise when we take time to truly rest.

Yoga Nidra is usually practiced in a lying down position on a mat on the floor, however it can also be done in a chair, or lying on a bed if you have injuries or ongoing health conditions. Please have pillows and blankets available, so you stay comfy and warm. Have your journal nearby to write down your "soul whispers".

Bio: Vickie MacArthur

Vickie fell in love with the practice of yoga almost twenty-five years ago and feels that her own daily practice has sustained her through all the inevitable ups and downs of life. Both her practice and teachings has evolved from the vibrancy of an active flow style practice to the restful peaceful presence of a deeply restorative practice. Vickie has a passion and gift for teaching the “Art of Slowing Down” in a world that is constantly speeding up. She teaches smaller personalized yoga and meditation classes to help people deal with many different health challenges whether cancer, fibromyalgia, chronic pain, depression, anxiety, and other conditions. She has finished a two-year training program with Pacific Jubilee to accompany and support people on their spiritual path. She teaches through her studio “Spirit in Motion Yoga” and is a sought-after teacher for workshops and retreats both in Lethbridge and on the west coast.
