Yoga nidra is a paradoxical meditative state of conscious sleep; a beautiful space where we may come home to our Hearts.
Many beautiful treasures can be encountered as we practice: reparation of healthy sleep cycles, release of old tensions/ patterns, emotional healing, intuitive insights, and even creative ideas to name a few… that said, what happens in your yoga nidra space is for you to uncover, and you can trust that your body’s wisdom will extract exactly what it needs from each practice—without any effort on your part.
Yoga nidra is typically practiced in a resting position. Pictured below are a couple arrangements that work well for most folks (plus pile on blankets to ensure warmth), though it is best to listen to your body directly for setting up.
From here, you may lightly listen to the sound of my guidance (while taking care of any personal needs along the way, i.e. modifications and breaks are fully welcome), and let the magic unfold!
