Yoga Nidra ‘Private’ Sessions are now available! Live Sessions are approximately 30-45 minutes in length and are done virtually in the comfort of your own home.

Yoga Nidra is a deep yogic sleep that uses respiration, body awareness, and guided imagery to facilitate deep relaxation in the physical and mental bodies. This yogic practice alleviates stress, enhances body awareness, and promotes a sense of well-being.

Message me for your personal Yoga Nidra session, currently half-off ($15 per session) for the month of January.

Easy Meditation Techniques

Welcome to a free upcoming podcast on meditation techniques offered by Holley Bennett, ERYT-500 from The YOGA Workshop here in Bellingham, WA

Some reasons that I have incorporated meditation into my daily life are:
• It provides a sense of well-being.
• promotes restful sleep
• decreases anxiety
• Lowers stress levels
• Improves my immune system
• And gives me a time-out from the daily stress

Some suggestions for your meditation practice are the following:

1. Practice once or twice a day at the same time.
2. Start with short sessions from 5-10 minutes then increasing with five-minute increments each week until you reach 20-30 minutes.
3. Use the restroom before starting.
4. Silence your cell phone and all devices.
5. Find a comfortable place to sit that is free from interruptions.
6. And most importantly, have no expectations, just experience the meditation each day as it is~

Daily Spinal Movements....

We exercise (run, bike, swim, climb, lift weights, etc.) to be strong and healthy, but do you intentionally move your spine to encourage mobility for a healthy spine??

Spinal flexibility is important for daily function. Here are six types of movements to promote movement of the spine:

1. Flexion: forward bends
2. Extension: back bends
3. Lateral flexion: side bends
4. Twists: torso turns around vertical axis
5. Elongation: the feeling of lengthening the spine
6. Inversion: upside down
