• Yoga Nidra, or Deep Relaxation, can reduce stress, lead to better sleep, and help manage hypertension and other stress-aggravated illnesses.
• In most yoga classes, Deep Relaxation is less than five minutes; not enough time to achieve the full benefits. 
• This relaxing guided meditation gives you a full 15 minute Deep Relaxation session, as well as cool-down exercises to prepare. 

One of the best parts of yoga is Deep Relaxation, a period of conscious, intentional rest that allows the body to heal and the mind to become peaceful. In this half-hour meditation, you’ll be guided through a series of movements to release tension from your body; a full deep relaxation session; and a slow, comfortable rise back to waking. Practiced daily, Deep Relaxation can promote better sleep, improved focus and concentration, and greater calm.

In Yoga Mind, Suzan Colón, former Senior Editor of O, the Oprah Magazine and certified yoga teacher, distills yoga’s philosophy into a 30-day spiritual program. The word “yoga” usually conjures up images of athletic poses, but when a friend has an accident that leaves him paralyzed, Suzan learned the true meaning of yoga: union with life as it is, with hope for what we can do, and with our true selves.

Cherries in Winter makes you want to cook and remember your family’s stories, and above all, makes you feel rich no matter what. Includes recipes.
