Fearless Sleep | Aghorā Nidrā

  • Slow Medicine Company 250 Carlaw Avenue Toronto, ON, M4M Canada (map)


You are invited to join us in yoga’s most sacred release, a descent into stillness where the body grows heavy, the mind drifts toward dream, and the unseen world feels just within reach.

Rooted in the spirit of aghora, the fearless acceptance of what is, this practice draws on the meditative tradition of yoga nidra to soften the body, quiet the mind, and open to the mystery that stirs in the dark. Timed with the turning of late autumn, when the nights grow longer and the veil between seen and unseen feels thin, this practice invites you to step into the shadows, rest with your ghosts, and meet the night in deep, fearless rest.

Guided through a sequence of deeply supportive postures with blocks, blankets, and bolsters, you will be carried by a curated soundscape blending haunting goth, drone, and heavy metal. The ritual includes intention setting, down-regulating breathwork, the fragrance of frankincense, and a symbolic token to take home as a reminder of your passage through the liminal.

No previous yoga experience is needed, and accommodations can be made for different bodies and mobility needs. The full hour will be spent close to the ground, resting in supported shapes. Attendees are welcome to arrive in Halloween finery or simply dressed in black.

Please note that entry to Slow Medicine Co. requires three small steps down from the alley. If further accommodations are required, contact hello@slowmedicinecompany.com for assistance.
