Yoga Nidra and Meditation with
Sn. Karunadhara
Each class will begin with a brief discussion introducing Yoga Nidra and one of two complementary meditation practices: Kaya Sthairyam (body steadiness) or Antar Mouna (inner silence). This short teaching helps participants understand the purpose and benefits of the practices before settling in.
The session will then move into a 15–20 minute guided Yoga Nidra, a deeply restorative practice done lying down or seated comfortably, followed by a 10–15 minute seated meditation to cultivate inner awareness, stillness, and clarity.
This weekly practice is designed to improve sleep quality, lower stress, calm the nervous system, and increase overall energy and focus, making it an ideal midday reset.
