Creative Comfort: Eye Pillows & Yoga Nidra
with Kim Bosse
Sunday, January 19th, 2025 @ 4:30 - 6:00 PM
Embrace the cozy spirit of winter with our DIY Eye Pillows and Yoga Nidra workshop! As the days grow shorter and the temperatures drop, there's no better time to nurture your body and mind. Join us for an evening of creativity and relaxation, perfect for this season of introspection.
Participants will create their own weighted eye pillow using a selection of available fill, dried flowers, and essential oils, allowing for a truly personalized experience.
Once your pillow is complete, be led into a state of deep relaxation with candlelit Yoga Nidra, designed to help you unwind and find inner peace during the winter months. Ending with the sooting vibrations of crystal singing bowls and optional reflection journaling, this practice is a wonderful way to embrace the stillness of the season and recharge for the year ahead.
All materials will be provided, and no prior experience is necessary.
Spaces are limited, so reserve your spot today and take a step towards self-care and relaxation this winter
