Yoga Nidra Meditation to replenish mind, body & heart with Sonci

Yoga Nidra is a restful meditation experience for deep relaxation. The intention of this class is to promote healing by releasing stress and restoring balance throughout the mind, body & heart. You will be guided to help realign your energy, soften the distractions of the mind and re-connect to your unique, inner wisdom. This practice opens the heart and quiets the mind which lends way to your body's innate power to heal. No experience is necessary. Please dress cozy and bring a yoga mat, pillow & blanket (or borrow from the studio). Yoga Nidra is practiced laying down using yoga props to ensure maximum ease and comfort in the body.You can expect to leave feeling rested, relaxed and restored. There will be optional time to share and connect afterwards. Gentle adjustments and group Reiki might also be incorporated, depending on the energy of the class.

Hi, I'm Sonci! A yoga and meditation instructor, avid explorer, kombucha enthusiast. I’m new to the Upstate after a 12 year stint in Portland, OR and brief jaunt through Kansas City, MO. Looking for nature and a fresh start, I now officially call Greenville my home!

For all my offerings, I hold the intention of healing and connection. I started dabbling in yoga and holistic wellness in my early twenties but it wasn’t until a solo, year-long backpacking trip through SE Asia that my yoga journey truly began. I loved that no matter where in the world you were, you could take a yoga class and share a common language with those around you through the yoga practices. Yoga allowed me to recognize my own inner light and to not give up on myself. Though it took me a couple years after my initial YTT to start teaching, I credit my primary teacher Rosie Acosta for guiding me to find my voice as an instructor. I've had the honor of sharing yoga in a variety of settings including offices, parks, trauma centers, studios and international retreats to name a few. It is such a gift to practice and share yoga, but even more so, to witness others on their yoga journeys. Every breath is an opportunity to begin again.
