Nidra can be a stand alone class or fit well at the end of a yin or flow class. It can be a 5 minute body scan or a 45 minute journey through the stars. Join Melanie as she brings a fresh, open, non-dogmatic look at all the main modern schools and encourage you to find YOUR Nidra voice. 

To date, Melanie has trained 1000 teachers in Yoga Nidra (and counting) – you’re in safe and experienced hands!
