Lunch & Learn | Mental Health Matters.
Fridays 1:30pm-3pm PST
May 8th: Unlock the Power of Yogic Sleep.
Is meditation one of those things that you know is good for you... but you still don’t do it?
And have you asked yourself WHY you’re not prioritizing this practice?
Or maybe you’ve attempted at meditating but you felt really anxious and your thoughts kept wandering, and it felt really unproductive?
What if meditating itself is challenging? You’re not alone. And you may have not yet discovered one of the most healing, EASY & ACCESSIBLE forms of meditation.
It’s called Yoga Nidra, or Yogic Sleep, a state of consciousness between waking and sleeping that is typically induced by a guided meditation and can be done in savasana (resting pose on your back). That’s right, all you need to do is lie down, and let the guidance help you melt away from your stress and emotions, and even your identification of “you”, and “your body” whatttt.
Fun Facts about Yoga Nidra:
1 hour of yoga nidra = 4 hours of deep sleep
It helps to rewire your brain.
It activates all parts of your brain & DECREASES the activity of the mind so you can experience your own essence and wholeness.
It improves your learning, concentration, focus and memory.
Get ready to not only learn more about Yoga Nidra and how it can help us with mental and emotional healing, but get excited to experience yogic sleep with Marcella Sharma, RYT-500 & Yoga Nidra Trainer.
If you are a powerhouse that constantly has to prioritize your work, hold space and lead others, but have your own mental stuff to deal with, you’ve come to the right place. More specifically, if you’re also trying to reach some physical body goals (lean out, get toned and/or build muscle + strength while eating healthy), but are struggling with maintaining a positive relationship with yourself, these Lunch & Learn events are going to help you. A LOT.
“Mental Health” may seem like an extreme phrase, but it’s a real thing. According to the World Health Organization, mental health is “a state of well-being in which the individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community”.
So whether you have tucked away your childhood upbringings and traumas, or are currently surrounded by different societal pressures (like looking “fit”, maximizing work efficiency, eating healthy or being better with your loved ones), we all experience some level of psychological and emotional battle in our everyday lives. Every week, we will be bringing in different practitioners in the health & wellness/fitness industry who are going to get REAL. They will be sharing their stories, and how certain practices will help with mental AND physical fitness, but also heal and nurture the relationship with yourself.
These Lunch & Learn events will be taking place virtually on Zoom so that you can experience them in the comfort of your own space. You get to choose to be a background listener, but you also have the opportunity to ask questions and get advice + feedback from the practitioners who’ve been through this themselves!
Your ticket includes a replay, so even if you are not available for the LIVE event, you’ll have access to the download of the workshop! The download will be sent to you within 48 hours of the LIVE event.
