Join us for this rare opportunity to study the ancient art of Yoga Nidra with a master yogi. This is a 3 day event starting Friday evening and finishing on Sunday at noon. Join master yoga teacher Yogi Amrit Desai as he helps you experience the self-healing powers of Yoga Nidra. This ancient form of meditation takes you into the deepest levels of relaxation while still remaining fully aware. During Yoga Nidra, you will completely shift out of identification with the body, mind, and ego. In this deep state beyond ordinary waking consciousness, you naturally realign with spirit, allowing you to effortlessly disengage from restrictive physical, mental, and emotional patterning. Here, you are free to shed the bonds of acquired conditioning and create a life that is an expression of higher consciousness. Yoga Nidra awakens the mystical, integrative power of the third eye, enhances the healing process, and boosts the immune system. It is effective in helping people with stress, addictions, sleep disorders, nervous conditions, and in releasing long-standing behavioral patterns. This is a rare opportunity to be with a living yoga master whose teachings are always experiential, humorous, and translate to all styles and traditions of yoga, spirituality, and healing. Gurudev Shri Amritji (Gurudev) is an internationally renowned yoga master. For more than 40 years, he has offered the authentic teachings of yoga and Vedic culture from the ancient tradition of India to the West. One of the earliest pioneers of yoga in the United States, in 1970, he experienced a spontaneous Kundalini awakening by the grace of his guru, Swami Kripalvanandji. The yoga society Yogi Desai founded grew to become Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health, one of the largest centers of its kind in America. His books include Kripalu Yoga: Book I and II, A Yogic Perspective on the 12 Steps, and Amrit Yoga.
