Yoga Nidra: Deep Rest and Inner Alignment

This live Yoga Nidra meditation class is a guided session of conscious deep relaxation, offered in Hamilton, Ontario and on Zoom. It is meant for anyone feeling overwhelmed, depleted, or energetically heavy, and for those who simply need real rest. The session is led by Shanel Scott, a yoga teacher and psychic medium, and takes place on a Friday evening in the Eastern time zone.

Yoga Nidra is an ancient practice in the yoga tradition. Rather than asking for effort, it invites you to rest and receive while a teacher's voice guides you beyond the surface chatter of the mind into deep calm.

What to Expect

The session begins at 7:15 PM Eastern. You are led through a body scan and breath awareness while resting in a reclining position. The aim is deep relaxation, a settling of the nervous system, and a gentle energetic clearing that supports reconnection with your inner guidance.

There is nothing to perform and nothing to get right. You can lie down, recline, or rest in whatever position is comfortable. If you drift into sleep, that is welcome: the organizer describes the practice as one that continues to work on the subconscious mind and energy field even then. The intention is to emerge feeling refreshed, centered, and more connected to yourself.

Where and How to Take Part

You can join live on Zoom from wherever you are, or attend in person at Dundas Yoga & Fitness in the Hamilton area. In-person attendance is pay-what-you-can, cash only, and registration is made directly through the studio. Zoom registration closes at 4:00 PM on the day of the event.

Before You Go

No prior meditation or yoga experience is needed, and the session is open to all levels. The session is held in English. The live guided Yoga Nidra session is what your registration includes.

If you would like to keep practicing at home, the Yoga Nidra Club is a separate offering. It brings access to a live monthly Zoom session and a growing library of more than 20 Yoga Nidra recordings. Club membership and the recordings are not part of this single session.

For Zoom, find a quiet spot where you can lie down or recline, and have a blanket or pillow nearby so you can stay comfortable and warm while you rest.
