Dream Awake: A Guided Yoga Nidra Experience with Dee Yergo

Wednesdays I 7:45 - 8:30 pm I $20 drop-in / $180 10-class card for any of Dee’s classes

Yoga Nidra, also known as “yogic sleep” or “psychic sleep,” is a deeply restorative form of guided meditation that leads you into a profound state of relaxation and awareness. Practiced lying down, this class guides you gently inward, balancing your breath and bringing the body into its natural state of harmony and homeostasis. In this state between wakefulness and sleep,you’re invited to explore layers of consciousness, experiencing an effortless calm where unconscious and conscious aspects of the mind simultaneously repair and reveal themselves.

This class begins with setting clear intentions and takes you on a visualization journey through and beyond the physical body.  It is a deeply restful experience of pure tranquility and a deeper dive into the subconscious for resilience, clarity, and healing. For some, this practice is an opportunity to detach and explore the mind, while for others, it serves as a valuable therapeutic tool, supporting mental well-being and recovery. Ongoing research even suggests that this state of non-sleep deep rest (NSDR) can recharge the brain, enhancing learning and focus.

Yoga Nidra welcomes all, creating space to feel our interconnected wholeness and sense of unity—expansive, restful, and healing. Allow yourself to sink into this sublime practice and emerge restored, aware, and awakened to your true, all-embracing self.
