課堂由柔和伸展開始，藉此預防及舒緩與關節、消化系統、呼吸系統和神經系統有關的身體疾病。隨後進行簡單的呼吸及冥想練習。最後，您將舒舒服服地躺下，練習歷史悠久的瑜伽休息術中，隨著聲音的導引，帶領你進入完全放鬆身體的狀態。

什麼是瑜伽休息術？
瑜伽休息術是一種身體完全放鬆的狀態，通過一系列有系統地的引導，讓你有意識地進入內心世界。

帕坦加利的《瑜伽經》中提及瑜伽的八個階段。其中第五階段為感官內斂，把感官(視覺， 聽覺，嗅覺，味覺，觸覺) 從外在的事物轉往內用心去感覺。藉著感官內斂，感官會受你控制，心靈將得到自由。

在瑜伽休息術裡，你的四種感官(視覺，嗅覺，味覺，觸覺) 將處於靜止內斂狀態，只有聽覺仍保留以聆聽引導。

為什麼要練習瑜伽休息術？
瑜伽休息術是與瑜伽體式練習截然不同的練習。 僅通過掃描身體及有意識的呼吸，讓神經系統平靜，從而減輕壓力並改善健康狀況。它提供了一個向內探索的空間，讓長期積累及深藏已久的負面情緒得以釋放。

課堂後你將會感到思想更清晰、與自己內心連結，從而感受自身內在的喜悅。

瑜伽休息技術讓你更有能力掌控自己的生命，並朝著更健康和快樂的人生進發。

需要準備些什麼？
穿著寬鬆的衣服，並帶備一條可以遮蓋身體的毛巾。

瑜伽休息術是一種被動的傳統瑜伽練習，無論你是什麼年紀，完全沒有瑜伽經驗或擁有豐富瑜伽經驗者都適合參加。

此課堂以廣東話進行。

This class will begin with gentle stretching which helps to prevent and cure, to a certain extent, common physical ailments related to the joints, the digestive system, the respiratory system and the nervous system.

Following by simple breathing exercises and guided meditation.
Then you are invited to rest comfortably in savasana and let go completely. All you have to do is follow the voice that is guiding you.

What is Yoga Nidra?
Yoga nidra is a state in which the body is completely relaxed, and the practitioner becomes systematically and increasingly aware of the inner world by following a set of verbal instructions.
In yoga nidra the practitioner remains in a state of light withdrawal of the 5 senses (the fifth element among the Eight stages of Patanjali's Ashtanga Yoga in Yoga Sutra) with four senses internalised, that is, withdrawn, and only hearing still connects to any instructions given.

Benefits:
Yoga Nidra is very complementary to physical yoga practice. The stages of body scan and breath awareness alone can be practiced to calm the nervous system, leading to less stress and better health. You will be more clarity, connection and joy.
It offers a space to explore what you need in the moment, as well as an opportunity to work on releasing long-held emotions.
