An Afternoon of Nurturing Spirit - Yoga Nidra: Listening to Your Ancestors

Yoga Nidra: Listening to your Ancestors
Yoga Nidra is a practice of deep relaxation to quiet our mind so we can listen deeply to our bodies. In this practice session, you will learn how to tune into your body's wisdom, so you can listen to the stories of your ancestors, embedded in your cellular memory. Acknowledging stories of both courage and suffering in the past, we can bring healing and hope to our life, right now, in this moment.
Yoga Nidra is traditionally done lying on a yoga mat on the floor, however it can also be practiced lying on a bed or softer surface, or even sitting in a chair. Please have everything you need to be comfortable: cushions, pillows, blankets, etc. There will also be an invitation to write the stories your ancestors whisper to you, so bring pen and paper, or journal.
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.
Watch for Vickie's upcoming book "A Lotus On Fire: How A Buddhist Monk Ignited the Love In My Heart.".
