  • Weekly on Fridays at 5:45pm ET, online and in-person

    Yoga Nidra is a meditative technique, practiced lying down in Shavasana, which allows us to move through layers of energy and consciousness. This practice often leads to deep rest and relaxation, and can provide a much needed respite from our culture of “doing.”

    This in-person and virtual group will offer a unique, eight-stage Yoga Nidra each month, with time for sharing and questions.

    Yoga Nidra can be approached as a standlalone meditation practice or Sadhana, a preparation for advanced meditation techniques, and allow the benefits of an asana practice to be fully integrated. By learning how to move through a systematic relaxation process, we nourish the mind, body, and spirit, and create the space for wisdom to emerge.

    Participants will be invited to consider any intentions they wish to be amplified by the practice.

    This group is hosted by Yogis and Yoginis in Park Slope, Brooklyn, NY.

    You can register for in-person or online through MindBody at the link below. This offering is also available in-person to those with ClassPass.

  • Thursday October 30 at 7:30pm ET

    This online monthly group will provide a therapeutic application of Reiki for moving through grief and loss. Reiki provides the primary venue for somatic healing, with an experiential practice offered each session. Each session will introduce a theme for each group related to various tasks or stages of the grieving process, drawn from 15+ years of experience in grief counseling. Ideas will be explored in group discussion, and then connected with the meditative aspects of Reiki practice to integrate the learning.

    All who are coping with loss are welcome to this group— whether you have experienced the death of significant person or a pet, if it was recent or years ago, if you are coping with a more ambiguous loss (such as someone who is physically present but emotionally absent), or if you or someone you love are coping with significant illness, this group offers a space to be supported.

    The themes presented will relate to the universal experiences that comprise processing loss. Participants may attend individual groups and explore a single theme, or may attend monthly and receive support on an ongoing basis. Reiki is uniquely suited to the existential nature of grieving, providing much-needed physical, emotional, and spiritual comfort when grappling with the experiences of death and dying.

  • Mondays at 7:15pm ET starting November 17

    The chakras are vortexes of energy within the subtle body, each with a unique frequency, qualities, and gifts for our expansion.

    Over seven weeks this series will explore each chakra, beginning with a short talk to learn more about its attributes, followed by a chakra mediation for awakening and release. Meditations will be informed by classical Tantra, and will include mantra, breath awareness, visualization, and time to absorb the benefits of practice. 

    This series is suitable for all levels of experience with options to adjust the depth of practice, and will be recorded with 30 day replay.

  • Tuesdays 7pm ET starting November 18

    In this four week VIRTUAL experiential series, participants will be invited to develop a deeper understanding of their dream experience. Using trance techniques, creative expression, and discussion, the dream space will be brought to life within the group.  Each session will explore unique components to dream phenomena, including the dreaming self, landscapes within dreams, daydreaming and hypnogogic states, and personal symbols and archetypes. Then a creative prompt will be offered to synthesize and record the experience. Participants will also have access to a weekly sleep practice recording for added support.
