Yoga nidra

is an ancient resource that has been developed over time, and used with great success to rest the physical body and restore the spirit. It is a guided meditation, but it is not your average guided meditation. It does something truly different than any other kind of guided meditation I have encountered—and I have encountered many. It occupies the mind through verbal instruction, leads you into your body, and encourages the release of tension and the restoration of the spiritual self. In yoga nidra, you lie down and go through a rotation of consciousness, awareness of breath, experience of sensation, and visualization through the body that triggers a deeply restful state. In this state, we can work through unconscious patterns and spiritual blockages. The folklore says that an hour of yoga nidra is equal to the rest of a three-hour nap. It is truly an experience of physical, mental, and spiritual restoration when practiced regularly.

I was introduced to yoga nidra when I was 20, deepening my practice when I completed my certification as a yoga and meditation teacher (RYT-200) in 2013. Since then, I have been experimenting with different forms of the practice, guiding others and writing and recording my own sessions.

A proper yoga nidra is at least 40 minutes long, and I am happy to offer sessions that I have written and recorded in my online store.
