About the Series
Yoga Nidra (Yogic Sleep) is a meditation technique that systematically quiets the layers of self to reach deep states of consciousness and restoration. This practice replenishes the mind and body depleted by stress, sleep disturbances, or the relentless pace of modern life. In a state of deep rest more restorative than standard sleep, the yoga nidra state of meditation creates the conditions for psychological and physical nourishment, insight, and expanded awareness.
In this 8-week series, participants develop a personalized Yoga Nidra practice, addressing limiting beliefs through intention-setting. Each session focuses on a different kosha (layer) and will reference ancient Tantric techniques companioned by findings in contemporary scientific literature. A key focus of the course is consistent practice, allowing participants to deepen their skills and refine their technique over time. Suitable for both beginners and experienced meditators, this practice goes beyond relaxation, offering a path toward personal transformation.

About the Instructor
Tiffany Bailey
Tiffany E-RYT-500 embarked on her mind-body journey at Swarthmore College, where early experiences with stillness ignited 30+ years of spiritual exploration. Her yoga path began with BKS Iyengar’s hatha system, later expanding into vinyasa, anusara, viniyoga, shadow yoga, and ashtanga. She blends these traditions to create advanced yet accessible, deep yet gentle multilevel classes at Marigold.
Tiffany's spiritual roots lie in Catholic mysticism, which evolved through Quakerism and its silent seeking, eventually leading her to formal Buddhist meditation. She complements her sitting practice with yoga nidra, a Tantric meditation technique, and understands connection and relaxation as natural states of being. Teaching yoga since 2007, she is committed to helping others discover their own sense of wholeness.
Currently, Tiffany works full-time in OSU's PAC Mind-Body Program and co-coordinates the Yoga Teacher Training 200 hour Leadership Certificate. Whether teaching beginners or advanced practitioners, she believes that uniting mind and body, even briefly, is always beneficial.
Tiffany also leads a monthly Yoga Nidra offering.
