Thrive@5: An Intro to Meditation Through the Lens of Yoga Nidra

February 24, 2026 - 5 - 6 p.m.

Join us for a Thrive@5 event at Ascension Studio! An intro to meditation through the lens of Yoga Nidra…an ancient meditation technique that offers a systematic approach to reaching deep states of relaxation and mental and emotional balancing, all while laying in a rested posture.

Yoga Nidra, often called “yogic sleep,” is a guided meditation practice that brings the body into a state of deep rest while the mind remains gently aware. It is not about trying to meditate, clear the mind, or “do it right.” Instead, you simply lie down, get comfortable, and follow a guided voice.

During Yoga Nidra, the nervous system shifts out of stress mode and into a state where the body can repair, restore, and rebalance itself. Although it can feel similar to sleep, Yoga Nidra is actually a unique state of consciousness — one where the body rests deeply while awareness remains present.

Because it requires no effort, experience, or flexibility, Yoga Nidra is accessible to people of all ages and abilities.

There is no signup required for this class, please just sign a waiver at the door.
