The strict discipline of Iyengar yoga, the desire to have a toned \u2018yoga body\u2019, and the aspiration to master the balance took me to another level of thinking. I was drawn to Yin yoga, which I trained in with Norman Blair, and followed soon after to yoga Nidra which I trained in with Dina Cohen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have watched the yoga industry shift and morph alongside my own shifting and morphing transformation. I don\u2019t claim to be an expert in any of the ever changing styles (and I have investigated many) nor do I wish to impose my ideas and beliefs on anyone. The rewards of s-l-o-w-i-n-g, turning within and learning to rest deeply have been my deliverance .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I only hope that in sharing some of the practices of Yin yoga and yoga Nidra you will reach your own personal conclusions.<br>And along the way may you soak up any gifts that present themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With love,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sarojini<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prepare yourself for a deep sleep with the relaxing practices of Qi Gong and Yoga Nidra.
