Yoga Nidra with Joni Mitchell

Settle into a Yoga Nidra session shaped by the candid spirit of Joni Mitchell, offering a spacious pause for reflection and rest. This is a fully restful experience rather than a movement class. While lying down with comfortable support, you will be gently guided into deep restoration so your nervous system can unwind and your mind can grow quiet enough to notice what rests beneath everyday noise. The practice centers on themes such as heartfelt honesty, the coexistence of grief and beauty, gentleness without apology, compassionate self-observation, and welcoming contradiction without trying to fix it.
