Yoga Nidra and Maia,

the Midwife of Spring 

Yoga Nidra, a Sanskrit term, meaning ‘yogic sleep’  is a guided meditation technique that provides profoundly deep relaxation, transformative healing, and the opportunity to work below the conscious mind.

Yoga Nidra gently releases stress at its deepest level; digesting and metabolizing old experiences, freeing up limiting beliefs, while creating an opening for our Sankalpas, the seedlings of intentions and desires, to be received.

This guided meditation will take you through the ‘koshas’ of your being; the physical body, the breath, the subtle body, the causal body, and finally the bliss body.  We gently move through the various brain wave states of waking, meditative, dreaming, and deep sleep while becoming more and more relaxed yet still awake and aware. 

Benefits of Yoga Nidra

• Profound relaxation
• Healing for Mind and Body
• Increased resiliency
• A deep sense of well-being

This beautiful practice will provide a method for enhancing your well-being in every aspect of your life.  The only requirement is that you can lie comfortably on the floor, using a mat or blanket and bolsters for the duration of the practice.

Testimonial

"I love seeing the world through Kate’s lens.  Her study of Science of Mind teachings and significant knowledge of Hindu ideology influence all of her offerings, and indeed, are infused in every breath she takes.  One of my favorite things about Kate is that she lives every moment into her beliefs.  These are her guiding principles and you can tell just by watching her move in the world.  Such integrity is, in itself, inspiring.  My second favorite thing about Kate is the brilliance of her Yoga Nidra and other meditations.  To create a flowing meditation that is full of beauty and meaning is a true divine gift.  Her gentle and inviting voice presents these amazing creations in a way that welcomes us all into her world.  You don’t have to be interested in Hindu mythology to fall in love with Kate’s offerings.  But if you attend with an open heart, you are likely to be stirred by the stories she tells and find relevance to your own story."  G. Moore, Reiki Master and Artist, Yoga Nidra student, Workshop attendee

"Kate's meditations are a powerful medicine for this contentious and anxious time we are in. Her teaching provides a yoga experience that feels powerfully connected to a sense of sacredness.” D. Anders

“I have been touched by Kate Colby Nelson in many ways....First of all, I love her joy and her heart.  Her writings and story telling are profound and inspiring. Her creative mind expresses itself in so many different modalities: children books, inspired writings, rituals that speak of the earth and of the feminine principle as life, spiritual and holistic health approaches......and a deep commitment to spiritual transformation.  I love when she teaches as she comes across as caring and is an inspiring teacher. I also love her dedication to traditional Yoga and her awareness.  I am so grateful.”  S. Moonjay, Licensed Spiritual Practitioner
