SUMMARY:Yoga Nidra – Guided Meditation & Stillness
CATEGORIES:event
DESCRIPTION:Yoga Nidra – Guided Meditation & Stillness Yoga Nidra is a guided meditation practice that helps to relax the mind and body by doing “nothing.” This ancient practice produces a profound state of relaxation just by listening. One hour of Yoga Nidra is equal to four (4) hours of sleep. As the mind slows down, our thoughts begin to move away from us. Yoga Nidra happens in the space between waking and sleeping. It’s like floating! You disengage from stress-producing thoughts, allowing the body, mind, and spirit to rest and heal naturally. Modern studies have validated the benefits of Yoga Nidra; showing that a guided meditation is very effective in reducing anxiety, stress, and depression. Resting comfortably in your own home, the practice can be done lying down or in a seated position with your feet up. All you have to do is listen. These are the items you will need: · A quiet place to lay down or recline. · Pillow for head and under your knees. · Blanket for warmth. · If desired, an eye mask or pillow to block light. · Water to drink. The Well is thrilled to continue our relationship with certified Kripalu Mindful Outdoor Guide, Yoga Instructor, and I Am Yoga Nidra Facilitator, Jamila Keita to offer this deeply healing and restorative practice. Most individuals report feelings of enhanced well-being, calm and better sleep after each session. Many feel relaxed and energized. If you are new to meditation, never tried or been successful at meditation, or an experienced meditator, we encourage you to give Yoga Nidra a try. You will be amazed at how easily you will achieve a meditative state. The sessions are being offered twice a month on a Monday and Tuesday evening. You are welcome to purchase one session at a time or choose from three series options at a discounted rate - all sessions, all Mondays, or all Tuesdays. DATES: Mondays - 9/16, 10/14, 11/4, 12/9/24, 1/13/25 and Tuesdays - 9/24, 10/29, 11/12, 12/17/24, 1/28/25 TIME: 7:30 - 8:30 PM ET COST: $15 per session, All 10 sessions for $135, All Monday sessions for $70, or All Tuesday sessions for $70 LOCATION: ZOOM IMPORTANT: You will receive an email from lorie@wellforthejourney.org at least 24 hours in advance of the start of your program.

My name is Evangeline “Jamila” Keita. I’ve been practicing yoga for almost 25 years and decided to teach yoga as my “retirement job.” It was during my yoga training (YT200) that I was introduced to Yoga Nidra. Immediately after completing YT200 in 2014, I took my first Yoga Nidra training. Since that time, I’ve taken subsequent trainings in Yoga Nidra in 2017 and 2021. I love this practice. During the shutdown, I found “nature therapy.” This led me to complete a course through “The Kripalu School of Outdoor Leadership” and become a KMOG (Kripalu Mindful Outdoor Guide). I currently teach two yoga classes per week on Zoom. Each class includes poses and a short Yoga Nidra session. Since 2022, I have provided weekly Yoga Nidra sessions for Hopewell Cancer Support Center and occasional Mindful Outdoor Experiences (MOEs). Additionally, I work for Nature Worx, a non-profit that provides MOEs to persons in recovery and the general public. I never imagined this second career as it is, but it seems like a natural evolution to me. I hope you enjoy my offerings. CANCELLATION POLICY: We recognize that sometimes plans change and you may not be able to attend a program for which you are registered. On rare occasions, the Well may also need to cancel or reschedule a program. Both situations are disappointing, but we are prepared with the following options. If a program is cancelled by Well for the Journey, or rescheduled and you cannot make the new date, a full refund will be provided to you. For programs with pre-scheduled Inclement Weather Dates, refunds will be provided only if both the original scheduled date and the planned Weather Date are cancelled. If you are unable to attend a program for which you are registered, you may gift your ticket to another party. Please notify the Well with your request at kristan@wellforthejourney.org and provide the name, mailing address, and email address of the person who is taking your place at the program. If you cancel your registration 72 hours or more prior to the program start time, you may request a refund up to 50% of the program fee or request that your 50% refund be donated to the Well’s Scholarship Fund. Please contact the Well with your request at kristan@wellforthejourney.org . Refunds are not available for cancellations when notification is received by the Well in less than 72 hours prior to the start of the program so that sufficient funds are available to cover the Well’s administrative expenses. We sincerely appreciate your consideration of the time and effort that the Well and your Facilitator put forth in bringing your program to life and thank you for your understanding of our Cancellation Policy.
