About Yoga Nidra ------------------------ Yoga Nidra or yogic sleep is a simple, scientific and profound relaxation technique derived from ancient tantra and developed by Swami Satyananda. In Yoga Nidra the body sleeps but the mind remains awake and aware, reaching a state in between wakefulness and deep sleep. This powerful relaxation technique not only releases tensions from the body and mind but also prevents stress by training the mind to remain calm and quiet and by rooting out the repressed desires and thoughts from the deeper realms of the mind. Research also indicates that Yoga Nidra can be used as a therapeutic technique to cure psychological and psychosomatic diseases like anxiety, insomnia, asthma, hypertension, etc. And guess what? One hour of Yoga Nidra is equivalent to four hours of conventional sleep! The class includes the practices of gentle asanas (yoga postures), pranayama (extension of the vital energy), yoga nidra (deep relaxation) and meditation. About Sandy ------------------ Sandy’s yoga journey began with a yearning to explore her inner‐self and to find a way of life that would balance her need for science and spirituality. After developing a keen interest in Yoga Nidra and meditation, she decided to dive deeper into the world of yoga and join the “Bihar School of Yoga” in India for a 4‐month residential course in Advanced Yogic Studies. The inner transformation and purification she experienced during and after the course awakened a need to spread the power of yoga and meditation, leading her to enroll in a teacher training course in Satyanandashram Hellas, Greece. Sandy is also one of the organizers of the Beirut Yoga Festival.

The 4th episode of BBC's the hunt takes us through a one hour dive deep into oceans as we explore the various hunting strategies they use out there. Hunger at Sea follows blue whales, sharks, sea lions, frigatebirds, dolphins and albatrosses to reveal the strategies they use to hunt for prey in the big blue. The open ocean is an immense wilderness that covers more than half the surface of our planet, yet for the most part it's a watery desert, largely devoid of life. Predators face an endless search to find and catch food, yet these great tracts of ocean are home to some of the most remarkable hunters on the planet. Date: Tuesday February 28 Time: 8PM Duration: 1hr Location: Minus 1, Tabaris Entrance: 5,000LBP including popcorn For more information. please call 70/340950. #minus1lb #minus1 #art #creative #space #documentary #bbc #nature #screening #Beirut #Lebanon

In collaboration with Infotonin, we bring you the screening of the third episode of BBC: The Hunt, titled "Hide and Seek". Hide and Seek follows tigers, harpy eagles, chimpanzees, army ants and other predators as they rise to the challenge of hunting within the forest - a dense, confusing, three-dimensional world, one in which even finding prey is a maddening task. The prize for succeeding at nature's great game of hide-and-seek is one worth winning. Forests cover one third of the land surface, and concealed within are over half of the species on Earth. Date: Tuesday February 21 Time: 8pm Duration: 1 hour Location: Minus 1, Tabaris Entrance: 5,000LBP including Popcorn. #minus1lb #minus1 #art #creative #space #screening #documentary #nature #bbc #animals #science #whatsuplebanon #Beirut #Lebanon

We're resuming our signature documentary night in collaboration with Infotonin with an extremely exciting documentary by BBC, titled The Hunt, released in 2015. The Hunt takes us through an informative journey, shedding light on the various hunting techniques of wild animals. The contests between predators and prey are the most dramatic events in nature. The Hardest Challenge reveals the extraordinary range of techniques predators use to catch their prey - from a leopard using all its powers of stealth to stalk impala in broad daylight to wild dogs, whose tactic is to wear down their prey over long distances; from Nile crocodiles, the planet's most patient predators, to killer whales who use teamwork and intelligence to take on humpback whales. But even with these finely tuned strategies, the outcome is far from certain. Surprisingly, most predators fail most of the time. Date: Tuesday February 7 Time: 8PM Location: Minus 1, Tabaris Duration: 1 Hour Entrance: 5,000 including popcorn P.S: Some scenes might not be suitable for the faint hearted.

After a long informational and interesting journey, we've come to the screening of the last episode of Planet Earth II, titled "Cities". Cities are growing at a faster rate than any other habitat on Earth. They may seem an unlikely place for animals to thrive, but they can be a world of surprising opportunity. Leopards prowl the streets of Mumbai, peregrine falcons hunt amongst New York's skyscrapers, and a million starlings perform spectacular aerial dances over Rome. In Jodhpur, langurs are revered as religious deities and in Harar, locals live in harmony with wild hyenas. Many animals, however, struggle to cope in the urban jungle. As the architects of this environment, can humans choose to build cities that are homes for both them and wildlife? Date: Tuesday January 31, 2017 Time: 8PM Running Time: 1 hour Location: Minus 1, Tabaris Entrance: 5,000 including popcorn Screening is managed by Infotonin For more information please call 70/340 950 #minus1lb #minus1 #art #creative #space #event #documentary #bbc #nature #screening #Beirut #Lebanon
