Welcome to a Yoga Nidra session designed to promote complete health and wellness. In this guided practice, Ayla Nova will lead you through a soothing Yoga Nidra that addresses the whole being—body, mind, and spirit. This ancient technique, often referred to as "yogic sleep," deeply relaxes the nervous system, aids in reducing stress and anxiety, and supports the healing of chronic pain and insomnia. Whether you seek holistic healing, deep rest or relaxation, this practice is tailored to encourage internal balance. We'll explore breath awareness, gentle body scanning, and visualization techniques that promote physical healing and mental clarity. Integrating Yoga Nidra into your daily routine can unlock a greater sense of peace and equanimity, essential for complete health. This session is suitable for all levels, from beginners to seasoned practitioners. No previous experience is required, just a quiet space and an open heart. Join me on this journey to discover how Yoga Nidra can be vital in your wellness toolkit, helping you embrace a life of health and serenity. 00:00 Introduction 00:12 Welcoming Words from Ayla Nova 01:00 Special Announcement | Layers of Being  03:16 Preparing for Yoga Nidra 04:19 Nervous System Rest | Physiological Sigh 05:25 The Practice of Yoga Nidra Begins Now 🌙 Session Focus: • Holistic Well-being • Deep Relaxation and Stress Relief • Enhanced Self-awareness and Healing Join the Layers of Being | LIVE Virtual Event | May 5 @ 5:55PM PT Discover how to deepen your practice by understanding the Koshas and how they can be applied to life outside your yoga nidra practice.
