Gong Yoga Nidra with Carrie Gorrell and Lida Martin

Release, relax, and let go with gentle Yoga and gong Yoga Nidra, led by Carrie Gorrell and Lida Martin at Meditation Mount.

The session will begin with a creative meditation, peaceful yoga flow, and the integration of breath with gentle movement. It will continue with a beautiful gong Yoga Nidra experience.

One of the most profound ways to create relaxation with the Gong is through a guided process known as Yoga Nidra or “yogic sleep”. Yoga Nidra induces deep relaxation, heightens awareness, integrates changes, and accelerates healing. It is a powerful tool for therapeutic change. The Symphonic Gong is an amazing instrument that facilitates balance and ease in our physical and subtle bodies, releases stress, and is an opportunity for our entire nervous system to adjust and heal itself. Gong Yoga Nidra is an experience of deep relaxation and healing.

I release. I relax. I let go.

Please bring water, a yoga mat, blankets, and anything you need to feel comfortable.

Carrie enjoys creating a space for each individual to define their own meaning of yoga. She hopes to inspire them to look beyond the physical and use their practice as a means of deepening their connection with one’s true selves. As Yoga Sutra 1.3 says, “Then the Seer (Self) abides in its own nature,” she believes we are all seers waiting to consciously connect with who we really are.

Carrie received her 500-hour certification in 2014. As her practice deepened, she became passionate about Yoga as a means of Self-Care. She expanded her knowledge by studying and certifying as a practitioner of Urban Zen Therapy, which was founded by Donna Karan, Rodney Yee, and Colleen Yee to bring Yoga, Breathwork, Reiki, and essential oil therapies to hospitals and care facilities around the world.
