Mid Week Reset!   Experience Full-Body Relaxation. Feel Peaceful & Refreshed! 

As the pace of life seems to increase exponentially, the timeless practice of Yoga Nidra has come to the foreground as an effective tool for living with greater health and ease. 

Yoga Nidra literally means "yogic sleep." Studies have shown that although the mind remains conscious during the practice, the levels of relaxation and healing achievable during Yoga Nidra are deeper even than regular sleep.
 
If you suffer from hypertension, stress, diabetes, migraine, asthma, ulcers, digestive disorders, skin diseases, depression or insomnia, the practice of Yoga Nidra can benefit you! 

*Decrease stress 
*Improve digestion 
*Ease muscular, emotional & mental tension 

This class will begin with gentle yoga practice to warm and relax the body. Then you'll lie back on your mat to be guided systematically through increasingly deep levels of physical relaxation. As all tension leaves the body, the subconscious layers of the mind also begin to open. The techniques employed during Yoga Nidra such as visualization and sensory awareness enable you to bypass the conscious mind and enter a pre-dream state, which is the birthplace of your own creativity. It is in the subconscious is where real and lasting changes begin! 

Absolutely NO yoga or meditation experience needed. Wear comfortable clothing for gentle movements to prepare for this guided experience.



Kimberly Murphy

Kimberly Murphy E-RYT500, C-IAYT, YACEP.   Yoga is more than a practice or a class for Kim, it is a way of life.  Spend any length of time around Kim and her three passions in life will become readily apparent, fitness, yoga and helping people.  Like many people, Kim began her yoga journey in a yoga class after suffering from bouts of depression most of her life. It did not take many classes for Kim to realize that when yoga was part of her everyday routine she was able to see things in a positive way and as a result had more energy, felt alive and was able to face whatever challenge life brought her.

Kim’s passion for knowledge and helping others led her to teaching, but she will always be her first student. A continual student of Yoganand Michael Carroll, she is certified at the 200-hr level with Kripalu & Pranakriya Yoga and the 300-hr through the Pranakriya School of Yoga Healing Arts (PKSYHA) , as well as being certified with the International Association of Yoga Therapists, a Thai yoga therapist and a Reflexologist.  Her passion for working with beginners has led her to become a Director of the Pranakriya 200-hr Yoga Teacher Training Program and she is training to lead the Meditation and Theory and Teaching program which is part of the 300-hour level certification with the PKSYHA.   Kim is Leadership and Intensive certified in Y12SR Yoga for 12 Step Recovery and believes that yoga can heal the body from the inside out and is a necessary component of healthy living.

Elizabeth Moore

Liz was introduced to yoga over a decade ago. She was first interested in the stress relief, meditation, and relaxation aspects of the practice. As she began practicing more regularly she experienced the benefits of strengthening her physical container despite her own limitations as a person living with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. After sustaining several injuries over the years, Liz found freedom through yoga to build strength and body awareness in new ways.


In 2020, Liz moved to Maryland from MA during the pandemic with her husband and their 5 children. Seeking relief from anxiety and isolation, she signed herself and her son up for yoga at a local Pranakriya studio, Crofton Yoga. This tantra hatha yoga tradition was exactly what she had been looking for, leaving her feeling “more fully alive!” The way that meditation is paired with breath and movement really gives her a sense of victory over racing thoughts in her head as well as compassion with her own body’s limits.


In the spring of 2024, Liz studied under Kimberly Murphy to receive her 200hr YTT certification from Pranakriya School of Yoga Healing Arts. Her desire is to give others the chance to love themselves for who they are without all the labels. She works to help others connect mind, body, and spirit through breathwork, movement, and meditative rest. She encourages her participants to have “courageous authenticity” and to find peace by truly finding themselves.
