Yoga Nidra: Profound Healing Shift

Led by Ramsay Pierce

During the practice of Yoga Nidra, we induce a state of complete physical, mental, and emotional relaxation. It is a sleep-based meditation technique used for effectively establishing new patterns in the mind and body and creating harmony. This practice works at the deepest levels to release tensions, old patterns, conditioning, and self-limiting beliefs. 

This practice is done lying down in the most supportive and comfortable position you can be in. The body temperature may drop, so be sure to have a blanket or warm clothing. There is no physical movement necessary during the practice.

Ramsay (they/them) believes yoga and mindfulness are practices that allow us to see truth and come to know ourselves, and as we do, we are able to live with greater accountability and love. Ramsay is an RYT-500, and completed their 300 hour training with Michelle C. Johnson, focusing on the intersection of yoga and justice. They have specialized training in yoga for self-regulation and trauma, and are certified through the Integrative Amrit (I AM) Method as a yoga nidra instructor. They are a Certified Mindfulness Instructor, having trained with Rev. angel Kyodo williams and David Perrin. Ramsay also works to make yoga more accessible to individuals who've been affected by traumatic brain injury (TBI). Ramsay’s superhero is their Nisei grandmother, Sumiko Yeya Mansfield.
