Joy Hoffman, a certified Yoga Nidra and Yoga Therapist who has taught throughout the U.S. and abroad, is bringing her Deep Sleep Meditation instruction to St. Stephen’s North Hall on Sunday, July 28, 7 p.m.-8:15 p.m. The public is welcome, no experience is necessary, and it is designed for all ages. Deep Sleep Meditation is composed of a series of breath, body and awareness techniques that progressively relax participants into deeper brain wave patterns. Because of its restorative effects on the body, mind and spirit, one hour of this practice is comparable to 3-4 hours of deep sleep. It is especially beneficial to those who feel overwhelmed and always on the go or those practicing intense or competitive sports. There are no yoga poses, only reclining on one’s back.
