Yoga Nidra

with Chandra
Sundays:  Sept. 19, Oct. 17, Nov. 21
$10-$15 sliding scale
Pre-registration/payment required; contact the studio
Recline back and be verbally guided through "yogic sleep" to release accumulated tension in mind and body. Yoga Nidra guides us into a "threshold state between sleep and wakefulness, where contact with the subconscious and unconscious occurs spontaneously." A 45 minute Yoga Nidra practice is the equivalent to 4 hours of deep sleep!  When we learn how to authentically relax, our true nature is spontaneously revealed. It is a life transforming practice. You are not physically moving for the practice.

It will be a night to celebrate—filled with beautiful music, delicious food and beverages from Gourmet Productions, area restaurants and distributors, and wonderful auction items to bid on. 

Already we have been putting together wonderful live auction items like a Guided Yoga Trip to Peru, Urban Farm, Authentic French Dinner Party, Year of Yoga, Surf Weekend at the Beach, Black Butte Vacation, and Yard Transformation Landscaping Package, and many more. Our Raffle this year will be the selection of one Live Auction Item!
 RSVP  and order your tickets online today!  
Funds raised through the gala makes our programs possible.   Nearly 80% of our total annual budget comes from this event.  This funding enables us to develop, foster, organize and coordinate a mass effort to bring yoga programs to prisons, drug and alcohol rehab centers, domestic violence shelters, prostitution services, and other transitional services for youth and adults.  
Proceeds from the gala support our programs for hundreds of youth and adult students in more than 20 classes/week (more than 1,040 classes/year) at thirteen different program sites from Vancouver to Portland to Salem.
