    Yoga Nidra for the deepest sleep. This forty-minute guided meditation slows down the breath and the mind so that the body can fully relax and drift off to a deep sleep.

    Yoga Nidra for Sadness

    Yoga Nidra for Sadness

    This 35 minute Yoga Nidra meditation is for those dark times of deep sorrow and sadness.  Yoga Nidra is backed by science as a way to become less emotionally reactive and to balance the nervous system.  Yoga Nidra is not a yoga practice, it is translated to Yoga Sleep, and is usually done by lying down or finding rest in a comfortable and supported seated position. Prior experience is not necessary.

    Yoga Nidra for Anxiety

    Yoga Nidra for Anxiety

    Anxiety is a normal response to stress and can range from being helpful to debilitating. Make space for the mental stress to dissipate and follow the pathway to a clearer and more peaceful presence with renewed clarity and a calm and balanced nervous system. 
    Yoga Nidra provides the tools for maintaining a sense of well-being and peacefulness, allowing the fluctuations of the mind to slow and return to a state of homeostasis allowing you to drift into a conscious, deep sleep state simply through the guidance through a systematic sequence of soothing and relaxing techniques that increase your awareness and deepens your relaxation.
    Throughout the practice, you’re providing extra comfort and relaxation throughout the physical body allowing your brainwaves to regulate into a resting, calm, peaceful state that has been shown to help with insomnia, stress, grief, depression, anxiety, and symptoms from PTSD. 
    Yoga Nidra allows you to tap into your very own awareness and experience and there is no wrong way to practice. No prior experience is necessary.

Background piano

The meditations are wonderful, but I find the repetitive background music activating. Please continue to offer music free meditations.
