Divine Sleep Yoga Nidra®

Join Diane Elliott on March 25th at 5:30 PM for this new class offering in order to get the best sleep of your life (see Jan Graves demonstrating above ;)

Class begins with ten minutes of mindfulness, followed by thirty minutes of restorative yoga to therapeutically open and relax the body. This will transition to Divine Sleep Yoga Nidra, which is a twenty minute Guided Meditation that systematically guides and relaxes you at every level of being.

Divine Sleep Yoga Nidra can help to reduce the effects of stress by turning off "flight or fight" and turning on the body's relaxation response-the body's natural healing state.

Everyone can practice Yoga Nidra regardless of age-requiring you only to lie still and listen while you are being guided.

(Participants can bring a blanket for comfort.)

Diane will also be offering Gentle Yoga on Wednesday evenings at 5:30 PM on 3/11 and 3/18

DID YOU KNOW?!?!?!

Not all fish oil is created equal. The quality of omega 3 oils depend on the type of fish and where it comes from
When you buy pure fish oil make sure that it comes from salmon, mackerel, or herring since these are the best sources for Omega 3 (DHA and EPA)
The fish oil needs to be molecularly distilled (purification process where all possible contaminants have been removed) - due to the heavy pollutions of the oceans with heavy metals and other toxins, fish might no longer be the ideal dietary supplement
Ideally you should buy fish oil that contains only a little bit of Vitamin E and nothing else, otherwise, it is not Pure Fish Oil
