Monthly Deep Rest Yoga Nidra Sessions on Zoom

2nd Sundays / 2pm – 3:10 EST

Yoga Nidra is a guided lying-down meditation that induces deep relaxation and peaceful states of awareness. Research highlights how Deep Rest practices can release cumulative stress from the body and brain, reducing inflammation and down-regulating stress-hormone arousal while harnessing the body and brain’s natural abilities to heal and recover with focused, structured rest. Monthly Deep Rest Yoga Nidra falls on the second Sunday of every month from 2:15 – 3:30pm EST.

Qigong & Walking Meditation at the NC Arboretum

Stay Tuned ❤️ This program will return for the Spring 2025 Arboretum Schedule

North Carolina Arboretum in Asheville

Qigong means the skill (gong) of regulating life energy (qi) to improve health. Qigong is the foundation of Tai Chi, a moving meditation that combines flowing postures, breath-work, and meditation in motion. Accessible to all ages and all bodies, Qigong promotes healthy circulation, reduces blood pressure, optimizes joint mobility, releases muscle tension, improves balance and coordination, boosts energy and cognition, and invites a sense of inner calm and ease. Each week our Qigong practice is followed by a slow silent walking meditation to savor the beauty and healing power of nature in the North Carolina Arboretum’s Plants of Promise Garden. Parking is free when you register for a class at the Arboretum.
