Yoga and Sleep: Sunday, March 18; 2:00-4:00 PM~$15 ($10 Students)

Lack of sleep is a hidden epidemic. Insomnia and other sleep disorders have an insidious effect on the body and the mind. Yoga offers a rich array of practices that can dismantle patterns of sleeplessness: the satisfying work of active postures is helpful in encouraging deep sleep, while restorative postures and breath practices can teach us to be still and to accept rest. Moreover, yoga’s approach to the mind and consciousness offers a sophisticated perspective for disentangling the disruptive habits and tendencies that prevent people from sleeping. All are welcome.
