Bend & Brunch
Join Everybody Bend Yoga for a beginner-friendly gentle yoga flow to start your Sunday off right before enjoying mimosas and brunch at Cedar Ridge.

SALT CAVE NIDRA
June 15 – 2:30-3:30
August 10 – 2:30-3:30
October 26 – 2:30-3:30
Join Everybody Bend Yoga at the Total Rejuvenation salt cave for an incredible halotherapy nidra experience. Halotherapy (salt therapy) provides the benefits of soothing seasonal allergies, decreasing chronic respiratory issues, improving skin conditions, detoxifying the body, and improving symptoms of anxiety and depression, while nidra strengthens the immune system by reducing stress and tension. One hour of nidra is the equivalent of four hours of deep sleep!
During this experience, you’ll lay on yoga mats with various supportive yoga props on a beach of Himalayan salt amidst the ambient glow of the salt wall. A fine aerosol mist of pharmaceutical grade salt is pumped into the room while you are guided through the deep relaxation experience of nidra. There is nothing more you need to do but show up wearing comfortable clothing and a desire to restore your brain and body.
Event Date/Time: See above dates – from 2:30-3:30 p.m. Please arrive by 2:15 to get checked in and settled.
Event Location: Total Rejuvenation: 1501 51st St NE Suite B, Cedar Rapids

Sound-infused Nidra
Nidra is a conscious deep yogic sleep that promotes relaxation, enhances creativity, improves concentration and focus, and helps refresh your mind. The benefits of Nidra are many, but include relief of stress-related disorders, insomnia, trauma, and anxiety. During Nidra, the body and mind are fully relaxed. You lay comfortably on a yoga mat while you are guided through the experience. Additionally, this Nidra incorporates the healing sounds and vibrations of singing bowls. Since you won’t be moving, dress so you are warm and comfortable in non-restrictive clothing. Feel free to bring your own blankets (though clean props are provided).

THIS EVENT WILL RETURN IN NOVEMBER.
The Deep Restore
The winter months are cold and dark, but this experience, bathed in candlelight, offers you a cozy nervous system reset that appeals to all of your senses.
Participants will enjoy a delicious blend of gentle slow flow movements, supportive and nourishing restorative poses, and a deeply relaxing dip into nidra using a variety of props.
Bring a yoga mat if you have one, though extras and all other props are provided. Absolutely no experience needed – just your desire to feel warm, to breathe deeply, and to recharge and reconnect with yourself.

Perhaps you are new to meditation and want to learn more about it to see if it can be a stress reduction and mindfulness resource for you. What meditation is not, is turning off your mind.

Rather, meditation offers you the opportunity to attune to your awareness, gain perspective, observe your thoughts without judgment, and cultivate mindfulness. This meditation will offer techniques for sitting and provide you with a guided experience.

Sessions last up to 60 minutes, which includes your intake, sound massage session, and integration. For maximum benefit, it is recommended that you book 3-5 sessions. Gift Certificates Are Available! Just ask.
