AUBURN — Jim Melloh, certified amrit yoga instructor, will present a workshop, “A Yoga Nidra Experience,” from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 29, at the YMCA.

Yoga nidra is an effective technique to connect to the innate power within. It is a combination of alert awareness and deep relaxation, a state of transition where a person is neither awake nor asleep.

No yoga experience is necessary. It is not a sitting meditation, but an experience lying comfortably in relaxation pose. Wear warm, comfortable clothing and bring a blanket and pillow.

Registration is required, and members can register on-line at www.alymca.org. Visit the Web site for a more descriptive summary on the workshop. Class size is limited. Cost is $10 for members and $18 for nonmembers. Register at the YMCA, 62 Turner St.
