Why should I try Yoga Nidra?

  • Are you juggling a lot or feeling overwhelmed?

  • Are you experiencing anxiety, grief, or depression?

  • Do you struggle with falling asleep or sleeping well?

  • Do you feel guilty taking time for self-care?

Yoga nidra is an ancient practice for deep rest and renewal.

Lie down or sit. Listen.

Receive much needed physical and mental rest simply by following prompts for breath sensing, body sensing and guided imagery.

A 45 min Yoga Nidra is equivalent to three hours of deep sleep.

The Release Phase addresses mental and emotional exhaustion and finding one's voice. The Rise Phase involves discovering a meaningful life and taking actions. Arrows indicate cyclical flow between Being and Becoming.
