Join Rebekah on the first Sunday evening in August for Yoga Nidra. This powerful meditation technique is one of the easiest yoga practices to develop and maintain.

While you rest comfortably in savasana (corpse pose), this systematic meditation takes you through a process that will leave you with a sense of wholeness and rest.

Adding Nidra into your practice, calms the nervous system, leading to less stress and better overall health. It offers a space to explore what you need in the moment, as well as an opportunity to work on releasing long-held emotions.

Meet August's

𝙒𝙖𝙧𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙧 𝙊𝙛 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙈𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙝,

Diane Lipka

Our Warrior of the Month is someone that is kind, inspirational and uplifts others. We think qualities like this should be shared and celebrated!

This month, get to know Diane.

1. How long have you been practicing at Zen Yoga & Wellness?

I have been practicing at Zen since its inception and before that at YAH.

2. What does belonging to the studio mean to you?

I love the sense of community that I found there and even now as I practice mostly from home on Zoom. I find that Zoom is the easiest way to allow me to go to my aqua classes in the early morning and then Zen on Zoom at 11 at home. Gives me just enough time to do errands between classes.  My cat, Mario (and sometimes Peaches, if Mario lets her), also likes doing yoga with me, especially Savasana.  

3. What are the benefits you have found by doing yoga/barre/pilates?

Yoga has taught me so much - like standing and breathing correctly! It (Yoga Nidra) also helped me through a difficult MRI before my back surgery where I had to lay on my back for a long time. I don't think I would be able to move very well at all if I didn't do all the stretching and relaxation at yoga. Yoga, along with cardio/strength balance training helps me to keep moving.

4. What is your favorite pose and why?

I would have to say my favorite pose is really all of them. They all target different parts of the body and/or balance. Savasana is probably the best though!  

5. Any advice you would like to share with newbie yogis?

I would tell newbies to just do what you can. Try it at home on Zoom first if you don't want to go to the studio. Just attempting to do anything is so helpful to both your mind and your body.



We absolutely love the energy and positivity that Diane brings to the studio - even virtually! :) She is always ready to help others - participants and instructors alike, especially when it comes to technology issues!

Thank you for being YOU, Diane!
