What is Yoga Nidra

Yoga Nidra is sleep-based (sleep with a seed of awareness) guided mediation where you experience a series of body, breath and awareness techniques that calms the nervous system to restore the body and mind into balance.. It’s an invitation to wake up beyond the thinking mind, moving you towards the domain of trust, faith and love by connecting to your Inner Wisdom. In this state of Oneness, it’s possible to access healing on a physical, mental and emotional level to experience your wholeness, your most peaceful Self.

Intention Setting

Intention Setting

Yoga Nidra begins with creating an intention. An intention is a co-creative process between you and your Inner Wisdom. It’s a compass that guides you to keep moving in the direction of your highest good.  Without a clear intention, life can feel meaningless, empty and void of happiness. In Yoga Nidra you’re led into a deep alpha state that allows you to easily surrender your intention into the Universe.. You let go and let God. It isn’t something you “do” it’s something you’re a part of.

How it Works

Yoga Nidra is a way to check in and meet our inner world with kindness. It offers an opportunity to peel back  layers of stuck emotions held in our bodies to reveal what is real. We begin by relaxing the physical body to help quiet the mind. In this state, it’s possible to witness thoughts, distractions and feelings that arise and notice they’re temporary. Just thoughts and sensations coming and going.  Patterns in the mind passing through our awareness.  We’re able to see what’s stuck and create a safe space to for things to surface and to be seen. In this safe space a deeper level of consciousness is available to surrrender to a Higher Power where true healing takes place. We see the part of us that’s witnessing it all. The Unchanging Presence.

Who Can Benefit

Who Can Benefit

Everyone can benefit from Yoga Nidra. When the body is given the opportunity to fully relax, the mind becomes quiet. You see you’re the Witness of everything that arises within you.  In this witness state, your mind slowly let’s go and loses its power to cause suffering in your life. Thoughts and sensations arise, they live and move on…they’re ever changing and not bound to you. You see you are the Compassionate Observer, the Watcher of all that is happening.

When the mind is in a lot of turmoil, or if you’ve experienced trauma, it’s best to begin a
Yoga Nidra practice privately with a certified trauma informed instructor.
