Sometimes the deepest rest comes from lying still and simply being guided. Nidra Yoga, often called ""yogic sleep,"" is a form of guided relaxation practised lying down, allowing the body to relax fully while the mind stays gently aware.

This session offers a calming space to release physical and mental tension, ease anxiety and restore a sense of balance, without any need to move, stretch or "do" anything at all.

You don't need any yoga experience to take part, just bring yourself, get comfortable, and let the practice guide you.

Tennis4Cancer has been a brilliant support to ARC over the years, and we'd love to help spread the word on this one. If you can, please consider donating to cheer the Emerson siblings on and support cancer care services at the same time. 🩷💙
