Come learn the art of deep rest.

 

Yoga Nidra is a practice for anyone looking to slow down, recharge, and cultivate a deeper connection with themselves.

 

In this training, Mia Park will guide you through the foundations of Yoga Nidra and teach you how to create and experience a complete practice. You’ll explore breath awareness, body sensing, visualization, intention setting, and techniques for deep relaxation and nervous system regulation. You’ll leave with practical tools to incorporate Yoga Nidra into your own life—and, if you’re a teacher or practitioner, the knowledge to share this beautiful practice with others.

 

No prior yoga or teaching experience required. Come as you are and discover the transformative power of deep rest.


Expect to learn five different systems of this effective and popular technique that promotes deep inner relaxation. Practicing yoga nidra does not require physical movement. This training is open to teachers and facilitators with or without yoga training.


You will receive a 50+ page manual,  guided practice teaching, and yoga nidra scripts.

Admission to the garden is included. Join me for an hour of conscious relaxation hosted by the lovely Chicago Botanic Garden. All levels of experience welcome. 

Candlelight Yoga and Yoga Nidra​

Breathe deeply while moving and stretching to release tension and balance the body. Then, settle into a restorative posture and practice yoga sleep, also known as yoga nidra, a deeply restful meditation where you are verbally led through deeper stages of consciousness that systematically integrate body, energy, and mind.

Candlelight Yoga Nidra at
Bloom Yoga Studio

When was the last time you let yourself absolutely relax and rest?


Join me for 90 unhurried minutes blending Restorative Yoga with the guided meditation of Yoga Nidra, or yoga sleep, in the soft glow of candlelight. You’ll be fully supported by bolsters and blankets, settled so completely that your body finally lets go. From there, my voice guides you into the threshold between waking and sleep, where your nervous system finds the deep, rest it’s been waiting for. No flexibility or strength required. Just lie down and be guided. Leave softened, clear, and rested. Click here for more info.


All classes are 7-8:30pm

Teaching Taiji

Taiji in Chicago is our school of taiji (taichi) where we practice Daoist Principles in motion.

I practice and teach taiji using the system taught by Patrick Kelly. This taiji system is an intelligent synthesis of the three great esoteric streams of Daoism/Buddhism, Gnosticism/Sufism, and Yogic internal work as studied by Patrick for over 50 years and synthesized with the approval of his teachers. I was raised practicing martial arts and have studied with Patrick Kelly and his senior teachers since 2016.

Observe a class, for free, anytime. Learn more.

I'm also super excited to teach free taiji classes in the Chicago forest preserves. Please join us for indoor taiji, and maybe you can go birding too. Learn more.
