Poughkeepsie Studio
2 Lagrange Avenue, Suite 206, Poughkeepsie, NY
A Night of Relaxation
Join Cait Fields and Sama Shakti for an evening of deep relaxation through Yoga Nidra and sound healing. Yoga Nidra, known as 'yogic sleep', is the practice of withdrawing from the senses (Pratyahara). Cait will guide you into a dream-like state where you may have epiphanies and unlock deep memories. It is said that 15 mins of Yoga Nidra is equivalent to 1 hour of restful sleep! Sama will create a soundscape of healing frequencies by singing and playing multiple sacred instruments of chimes, gongs, Himalayan bowls and more. Allow your mind and body to sink into a state of deep relaxation as you are surrounded by healing vibrations. There will be ceremonial cacao and snacks to conclude the evening.
