Get ready to start the New Year feeling calm and centered.The Camden Public Library is kicking off its annual Jumpstart January series on Thursday, January 6, at 6 p.m., with a guided Yoga Nidra meditation class that participants can enjoy from the comfort of their own homes. The program is designed to help bring relief and recovery from post-holiday exhaustion.

This free online program will be facilitated by Camden-based health and wellness coach Hester Kohl Brooks. Find the Zoom link to register to attend atlibrarycamden.org.

Yoga Nidra is a sleep-based meditation in which your mind is guided to the deepest state of relaxation imaginable, said Brooks, in a Camden Public Library news release. As your body relaxes, you become open to meeting emotional and mental patterns that are holding you back, combining the benefits of meditation with the benefits of sleep.

To participate, audience members simply need to log-in, find a cozy spot to lie down or recline, and listen to the guided meditation. There will be an opportunity at the end of the program for participants to reflect on the experience and ask questions.

Brooks is a trainedDaring to RestYoga Nidra facilitator.She specializes in helping women with anxiety find their inner island of peace through developing a Yoga Nidra practice.
