It is time to awaken your powers of stress relief and deep healing! Join wellness leader Joyce Brian, as she leads participants through a Yoga Nidra session. Yoga Nidra, or yogic sleep, is a state of consciousness between waking and sleeping that comes with a plentitude of health benefits.
Bringing their own yoga mats and blankets for comfort, attendees will rest on the main floor of The Church as Joyce leads them through the deeply meditative practice, taking them from waking sleep to awakened consciousness. Relieving stress and promoting self-healing, Yoga Nidra taps into the third eye and journeys from alpha state to theta state consciousness. This journey helps you access your own intuition, creativity, and abundance and allows you to be present without self-image or “I,” thereby allowing your mind to explore yourself more fully.
Please dress comfortably and bring a yoga mat, pillow, blankets, and anything else that will make you feel comfortable. Chairs will be provided for those who prefer to sit rather than lie on the ground.

Yoga has been a passion since the early 1970s when Joyce began her career as an art teacher and was searching for a bit of peace and tranquility. She began her studies in Hatha yoga with Ina Marxe and Sandy Harris and has continued her studies throughout the years with John Friend, John Seelye, and Todd Norian (all Anusara), as well as Rodney Yee (Iyengar), while becoming certified in Viniyoga in Abiquiu, New Mexico. She then went on to obtain certification in Yoga Nidra, studying with Yogi Master Amrit Desai and Kamini Desai.
She has taught yoga in Manhasset, at the Sag Harbor Gym, Studio 89, and John Jermain Library in Sag Harbor, One Ocean Yoga in Bridgehampton, and Pranic Breathing in Great Neck, and since 2020 has taught a combination of gentle yoga and Yoga Nidra on Zoom. She also gives private lessons in both.
