Yoga nidra fosters reprograming of the sub and superconsicous mind to change behaviors and patterns to create your desired state of being, all while doing nothing!Studies show that regular practice of yoga nidra helps to release weight, stress-induced cortisol, inflammation, and chronic pain. It helps to cease undesirable habits, improve sleep quality, and to enhance performance.Join Lori Dye in some very gentle movement and breath awareness, followed by a blissfully relaxing experience.

August 10, 2025Yoga Lab is a class for all levels, beginners included! The first 60-minutes are all about finding structural alignment in yoga postures accompanied by time and pause for reflection. The forces of nature govern our bodies functions and well-being. There is an expanding force, a contracting force, a grounding and a rising force. We can look at each asana and see these forces working within our bodies. It’ is when we most efficiently harness the forces of nature inside of us that we can begin to move efficiently and sustainably through our lives! The final half hour will be a guided meditation inspired by the techniques of Yoga Nidra. A deep rest and reset.

August 31, 2025Yoga Lab is a class for all levels, beginners included! The first 60-minutes are all about finding structural alignment in yoga postures accompanied by time and pause for reflection. The forces of nature govern our bodies functions and well-being. There is an expanding force, a contracting force, a grounding and a rising force. We can look at each asana and see these forces working within our bodies. It’ is when we most efficiently harness the forces of nature inside of us that we can begin to move efficiently and sustainably through our lives! The final half hour will be a guided meditation inspired by the techniques of Yoga Nidra. A deep rest and reset.
