May 2025 Yoga Nidra retreat with Ian Melrose, 9-Day. The full retreat cost is from $295 and a donation at the end of the retreat. This is an ancient Himalayan supine guided meditation, also called yogic sleep. This spiritual path is extremely helpful for relaxation and healing mento-emotional- physical stress patterns. The ‘goals’ of yoga nidra are peace, happiness and joy called samadhi, where there’s connection to everyone and everything. Yoga Nidra enquires into the nature of everything and answers the question of who we are.

Testimonials
Landed back into ‘normal’ life with a thump, as predicted! But regardless of what's here and ahead, I have a deepening sense of being present in the now. My journey began with one of your retreats, and now I'm on a wonderful path of discovery I could never have imagined. While I still find myself impatient for the future at times, I observe that impatience and just smile, knowing that everything will unfold in its own time—the intention is set. Your retreats provide a clearing that enables us to move down our own paths, without any prescribed method or map. They allow participants to discover their own truths and be in their own space. There is no pressure to be anything other than oneself, and I am so grateful to you both for providing such a safe and loving environment. Thank you, you are wonderful souls, and I am so grateful to have you both as guides on this journey. ~ SB
Thank you for such a great retreat. I’m so pleased I had the opportunity to attend. It far exceeded my expectations of how it would be on so many levels. I’m definitely in for next year’s! ~ LB
Thanks so much for the meditation session this morning. It was a great start to the day and looking at emotion was just what I needed. Incredibly helpful - Carol P
Enjoying the YouTubes and Metta meditation. Visualization has been interesting and I’m getting more out of this. IN~Nidra is excellent and I am becoming much more centered and open to this and really look forward to seeing where this takes me. I really appreciate you both doing these sessions for us all and the amount of time and energy you are giving to this. The laughter yoga was a completely new concept and was fun. I have really enjoyed the spiritual philosophy topics. Thanks so much for these sessions. I’m getting so much from them, even the facial yoga. - Gillian S
I love the movement yoga beforehand...it uplifts the whole experience. I find with a lot of them I process things during the night or in sleep and the richness of the teachings bubble up the next morning. It is such a beautiful gift you are offering. I think everyone is deeply grateful and aware how much you are putting into this. So many thank you’s. It's incredibly special. - Marianne A
I find that having several occasions to meet on a weekly basis, has encouraged me in my practice. I meditate more often, sometimes several times a day, while I was often struggling to find 10 to 15 minutes daily before the lock-down. I can see subtle changes happening in my heart and try to be more mindful. Thank you so much for allowing this beautiful space to exist. I always get something from the video. It is as if they arrive to answer a question when I need to see things differently. I may not grasp it all, but it feeds me in some way. - Monique D
