Where does this practice of Systematic Relaxation come from?

This type of deep rest practice is adapted from and inspired by Yoga Nidra, a contemplative resting yoga and meditation practice that deprograms tension in the mind and body. Unlike Yoga Nidra, this event is presented in a secular, non-esoteric context, as to be accessible and respectful to all.

How does this program work?

Folks will sign onto the video call and we'll take typically 1-2 minutes for them to join. The facilitator will take 1-2 minutes to explain the practice and some additional notes regarding the practice. The facilitator will then instruct participants to lie down (or rest seated) and the practice will begin. This session will feature present awareness, breathwork, guided visualizations, and contemplation. No music will be playing, though participants are welcome to play calm instrumental music on their end. The event will end 1-2 minutes before the scheduled end time for questions and the facilitator will provide links to additional resources.

What set up is required?

Technologically, this class is hosted on a video conferencing platform (Zoom, Teams, etc). The facilitator uses Zoom for events they host, but is willing to use whichever platform works best for you and asks that you provide that link. Physically, folks will need a quiet and comfortable place to rest. Classically, this practice is done laying down on a yoga mat, but participants are welcome to lay on a bed or a couch. If it’s not reasonable to lie down, this practice can also be done seated in a chair. Your host will guide this as if everyone is lying down.

Do participants need to have their cameras on?

Participants are welcome to have their cameras on or off. Having your camera on is not required for participation, though some organizations may ask their employee to do so.

Can this event be recorded?

Yes! If you’d like your event recorded, select the “Event Recording” add-on during booking for an additional fee. If you’ve already booked your event and decide you want it recorded, let the host know and we can send you an additional invoice. The recording fee applies to all events, regardless if the host or customer is doing the recording. Events recorded by your host will be lightly edited, cutting out banter at the beginning and end of events, and the files will be delivered to you within 24-hours of the event’s end time. All recordings are the intellectual property of the host/facilitator, may not be reproduced, and may only be distributed internally within your organization.

Can we use my organization’s link for this event?

Yes! During the booking process, you can add your link (or shortly after booking, if it’s not ready yet). Your host can accommodate Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meets, and WebEx links. Otherwise, your host will, by default, provide a Zoom link for this event.
