Yoga nidra is an ancient practice that is also referred to as yogic sleep or sleep with awareness that is done in a comfortable lying position.

The biggest benefit of yoga nidra is that anyone can do it. It doesn't involve physical expertise of any kind so even if you have a health condition, you can practice yoga nidra.

Please reserve your space. Restorative yoga is used to create the 'relaxation response' or trigger  the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for balancing  the body. By stimulating this system, you experience a lower heart rate and blood pressure. This also helps stimulate your immune and endocrine  systems in healthy way. When you experience stress or feel overwhelmed, it impacts the parasympathetic nervous system that restores balance. To read  more about the relaxation response and how beneficial it is to us, visit

Come restore, renew, refresh!!!  "we will discover the nature of our particular genius when we stop  trying to conform to our own or to other people's model, learn to be ourselves, and allow our natural channel to open" -shakti Gawain 

CELEBRATING the NEW YEAR - 2012

Dear Ones,


We spend January 1 walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives... not looking for flaws, but for POTENTIAL.

AND appreciating all the wonderfulness that IS present in each of us! Each and every moment is an opportunity to tap into your potential with loving choices and actions. I encourage you to move forward into this New Year not with "resolutions" and To DO lists, but remembering the beauty that is already within you and to embrace the potential and opportunity that is here NOW.

To celebrate the New Year I am offering a JANAURY PASS for unlimited yoga classes for $110.00 (excluding specialty classes ie..Nidra or JourneyDance)

The January pass is good for unlimited yoga classes with Beth at the Calabash Community Center OR Mongoose Junction Yoga Center. It works out to be $7.85 a class and an opportunity to support and embrace all your potential as you welcome in the New Year!

DECEMBER 2011 happenings

"To lead the Divine life does not depend on any exterior activity or circumstances, Whatever you do from the highest work to the most ordinary, you can lead the Divine life if you are in the true consciousness and the right attitude."    - the mother

DECEMBER 2011 happenings

RESTORATIVE YOGA
 happening on December 12th 7:30am & 5:30pm at Calabash Community center AND December 13th 9am & 5:30pm at Mongoose Yoga center $15.00

Restorative Yoga is a much underrated and yet extremely beneficial style of yoga. Aided by props (bolster, blankets, blocks), the body, placed into yoga poses, is completely supported, allowing it to passively relax, stretch and open at progressively deeper levels. This practice allows for the release of deep seated tensions and helps to bring the body and mind back into natural balance. call or email to RESERVE space 643-6467 or emoptician@aol.com

The biggest benefit of yoga nidra is that anyone can do it. It doesn't involve physical expertise of any kind so even if you have a health condition, you can practice yoga nidra. Yoga nidra helps to quiet the overactive mind, promotes better sleep, eases anxiety and calms stress.  Dr Richard Miller (MY TEACHER), consultant for a study performed at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, is both a psychologist and yoga instructor. The study used a yoga nidra protocol for active duty soldiers who were experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD. Results were promising for soldiers with PTSD. They were able to sleep better, felt less depressed and were more relaxed on a daily basis.  Come UNWIND with us at Mongoose Junction yoga center!!!
