“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I’ll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass the world is too full to talk about.”
“Our bodies hold stress. And when this stress becomes chronic, it impacts us at a deep, cellular level.”
deep relaxation in the sanctuary every month ON ZOOM
The sanctuary is a healing space, a regenerative space and a nurturing space for you to let go of long held tension and stress and open into deep restorative rest.
Through very gentle movement, breath and a long relaxation process (yoga nidra), followed by meditation, you will be supported to unwind blockages from the physical, mental and emotional layers of your being.
Return to the natural peace within.
For those who can and can't make that time there will be a recording for you after the session so you can continue to access deep rest during the month.

NIDRA NIGHTS:
7-8.15 pm @ Move sanctuary, Ojai
Come in, lie down, let go.
Yoga nidra is a guided relaxation practice that has many health benefits primarily because of it’s capacity to help release long held stress from a cellular level.
This practice unwinds blockages from the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual layers of your being so that you can experience more of the natural peace and joy that is your essential nature.
It also brings the opportunity for a deeper experience of meditation and a better night’s sleep.
Each session begins with a short breath practice to clear the mind. The majority of the session is spent lying down with blankets and bolsters for a guided meditation. Best not to eat too much before the practice.
You're welcome to come in your pajamas! :-) Leave quietly and enjoy a blissful night's sleep!

“We could not have had a better experience with Julia! After she left, our group said things like: “best experience I’ve ever had”, “so inspiring”, “captivating”, “magical”. We all left feeling better than we did before, which I’m sure is the goal! We all absolutely LOVED it! She had such a beautiful and calming presence about her. And her musical aspect was stunning!”
Yoga bio
Julia’s love affair with yoga began over 25 years ago.
Now an E-RYT 500 yoga alliance registered teacher, she brings a depth and wisdom that is the fruit of her wide explorations, not only as a yogini, but also as a dancer, healer and kirtan musician.
Inspired by her primary teachers Saul David Raye, Kira Ryder and Yogrishi Vishvketu (Akhanda Yoga), Julia offers a heart-centered, widely accessible, hatha practice infused with classical kundalini teachings from the Nath lineage.
Her classes take you on a journey through breath, movement, sound and meditation, that will both relax and enliven your whole self.
With an emphasis on inner listening Julia gently guides you to release stress, awaken greater harmony and balance on all levels, and let the mind come home to rest in the unchanging peace of your innermost being.
Originally from the UK Julia offers classes, workshops, retreats and kirtans in Ojai, California, around the world and online.
