Yoga Nidra

Deep Relaxation

Occasional classes
in person and online

Yoga Nidra is an effortless guided practice of deep rest through which it is possible to go beyond the layers of our being – embodiment, energy and thinking mind – towards a deeper state of consciousness with full awareness. After some initial brief movements to prepare the body, expect to lie down and be guided through this transformative practice which works gently to ease through limiting patterns to reveal our essence: uncomplicated and peaceful.

In Yoga Nidra we use a san kalpa, a positive resolution or statement of intent about some aspect of ourselves that we would like to work on. Once chosen, our san kalpa stays with us until we have achieved our intention. You might like to give some consideration to what san kalpa you might use before you attend.

Yoga Nidra can help with stress reduction, insomnia and emotional disturbance. After this rejuvenating practice you may sleep deeply.

“Yoga Nidra is the yoga of aware sleep. In this lies the secret of self-healing … the distractions of the mind are contained and the mind is relaxed.”— Satyananda Saraswati

What Yogis Say

Lucy's approach is a gentle one. She understands that everyone has reached a different stage in their levels of fitness and accommodates any incapacity by suggesting ways to complete a movement without stressing an already stressed body. The simplicity of sitting on a yoga block or a chair, or maybe standing instead of kneeling can be all it takes. However, it doesn't take very long until non-kneelers are able to kneel again. And she does this without making you feel like a failure or 'past it’. - AF
I wanted to say how much I’ve been enjoying this last term. I’ve surprised myself in that I’ve really loved the detail we’ve been looking at re the spine (most unlike me as I’m usually a big picture person) but I have found it so useful for my back and how it’s enhancing my yoga practice. I’ve even been doing the 5 minute back moving sequence every day and that’s not something I’ve ever achieved on a regular basis before ! So a big thank you for your great teaching and class structures - I know you put a lot of prep into your work. - YR
I have attended Lucy's weekly yoga classes for several years, and I can thoroughly recommend them for anyone looking for a refreshing, beneficial experience which combines mobility exercises, breath-work, meditation, and relaxation. Lucy is very attentive and aware of the differing needs of everyone in her classes, without being at all intrusive or over-bearing. The new Sunday morning workshops in Little Comberton Village Hall are a welcome addition to her offerings, and provide an opportunity to go deeper into some of the more subtle aspects of yoga. All in all, if you're looking for authentic yoga taught by an expert teacher, this is it. - JC
