Meditative Mat is a Yin inspired class of supported and sustained passive poses held for several minutes; static passive poses shift the body into parasympathetic nervous system allowing the release of hormones into the bloodstream triggering the relaxation response; tension held fascia and other connective tissue let go into deep states of surrender opening gateways into the realms of subtle anatomy.

Moving into Stillness begins with Centering and Pranayama and progresses through a Gentle Yoga sequence. Final Integration is extended and enhanced by including elements of Yoga Nidra while in Sivasana. Yoga Nidra is an ancient technique of slowing brainwave activity and systematically relaxing all layers of the body guiding Awareness through different states of Consciousness to the fourth state known as Turiya.

When it seems humanly impossible to do more in a difficult situation, surrender yourself to the inner silence and thereafter wait for a sign of obvious guidance or for a renewal of inner strength.
