What to Expect in Your First Envision Yoga Session
Trying something new can be exciting—and a little intimidating. If you’re curious about Envision Yoga but not sure what actually happens in a session, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know.
Envision Yoga is designed to be accessible, supportive, and powerful, whether you’ve been practicing yoga for years or are stepping onto the mat for the first time. Here’s what to expect:
1. Grounding Into the Body
Each session begins with a guided relaxation practice, often inspired by Yoga Nidra and other evidence-based techniques that support the parasympathetic nervous system—the body’s rest-and-digest state. This is essential because when the nervous system feels safe, the brain becomes more open to processing, insight, and integration.
2. Mantra + Somatic Awareness
Every class is anchored in a specific positive mantra—such as "I am safe now" or "I deserve success." You’ll be introduced to the mantra and invited to explore where you feel it in your body, noticing any somatic sensations or emotional responses it brings up. This helps identify where old beliefs may be held and where the new belief can begin to take root.
3. Visualization: Seeing Your Future Self
Once grounded, you’ll be guided through a brief visualization exercise to imagine the version of yourself who fully believes the mantra. What do they look like? How do they move, feel, and live? This helps prime the brain for change using the principles of neuroplasticity and mental rehearsal.
4. Bilateral Stimulation + Movement Begins
As you begin gentle, intentional yoga movement, auditory bilateral stimulation will begin—alternating tones played from left to right through speakers. This kind of stimulation has been shown to help calm the amygdala, support emotional regulation, and mimic the integrative effects of REM sleep.
You’ll move through a series of accessible yoga postures while repeating the mantra silently and aloud. Whether emotions arise or you simply feel peaceful, both are welcome. The experience is designed to meet you exactly where you are.
5. Integration + Share Circle
After the movement practice, you’ll return to stillness. Each class closes with an optional share circle, where participants can reflect on their experience, insights, or emotions that surfaced during the session. Sharing is always optional but often deeply enriching and connective.
