The Transformation Center will host Holiday Calm, a restorative Yoga Nidra and Jin Shin Jyutsu class with Julianne Roshan Dow, from 2:30 to 4 p.m. on December 7. Designed as a gentle pause during a busy season, the experience offers space to release stress, restore balance and reconnect with inner peace.

Participants will be guided into Yoga Nidra, an ancient lying-down meditation that encourages deep rest and nervous-system healing. “Yoga Nidra invites your whole being to soften,” says Dow. “People often tell me it feels like they’ve rested for hours, even after just a short session.”

Research shows that Yoga Nidra can support healing, lower blood pressure, ease cravings and help restore emotional equilibrium. Pillows and blankets are encouraged to create a cozy, restful environment.

To enhance relaxation, Dow will weave in simple self-help practices from Jin Shin Jyutsu, an ancient energy art used in many hospital settings to reduce pain, anxiety and nausea. “Jin Shin Jyutsu is like acupuncture without needles,” she says. “It’s a gentle way to harmonize the body and build resilience.”

Attendees can expect to leave feeling refreshed, centered and more equipped to move through the holidays with calm and clarity.
