Yoga Nidra is a practice that allows your body and mind to rest while your consciousness remains awake and aware, creating the opportunity to tap into a deeper understanding of yourself and your true nature. At its heart, Yoga Nidra is about waking up to the fullness of your life.
Join Yoga Nidra teacher and author Tracee Stanley for a deeply restorative workshop exploring Yoga Nidra and radiant rest. Drawing upon twenty years of experience as a Yoga Nidra teacher and practitioner, Tracee introduces the practice of deep relaxation and the power of weaving rest practices into your daily life.
Discover the practice of Yoga Nidra (yogic sleep), its ancient origins, and practical applications in modern life. Tracee illuminates the teachings of Yoga Nidra as a pratyahara (withdrawal of the senses) practice and a system of laya (dissolution) yoga. Learn about the four states of consciousness represented in the symbol of Aum (or Om) and how this relates to Yoga Nidra, brain wave states, and the stages of sleep.
In this workshop Tracee share tips and inspirations on how to create a relationship with Yoga Nidra as a pathway to awakened clarity and spiritual freedom. Leave with tools to empower deep relaxation and inner knowing.
Tracee Stanley was introduced to the practice of Yoga Nidra in 2001. She immediately recognized it as a healing salve for the world and began to incorporate it into her life and her yoga teaching. She left her high-stress career as a Hollywood film producer to delve deeper into the study of the practices that were empowering and rejuvenating her, so she could share them with others.
With over 20 years as a lineage teacher in the traditions of the Himalayan masters, Tantra and Sri Vidya, Tracee also understands the demands of life as an entrepreneur, wife, and stepmom. Her effortless way of sharing ancient teachings in accessible ways is her superpower.
She travels extensively to offer Yoga Nidra, meditation, self-inquiry, teacher trainings, and workshops. RADIANT REST published by Shambhala Publishing is her first book. Tracee is also the creator of the popular Empowered Life Self - Inquiry Oracle (a 72-soul card deck) a self-study and divination tool that leads to self-knowledge, clarity, and healing.
