About Yoga Nidra

The Practice of Yoga Nidra is the ancient Yogic science of deep relaxation.

Yoga Nidra, “the sleep of the Yogi” is a profound state of relaxation, experienced as a completely effortless state of peace and bliss. Yoga Nidra is typically performed in the position of Savasana lying on your back with cushions and blankets for total comfort, support and relaxation. After a session of Yoga Nidra, you may feel as clear and refreshed as though you’ve enjoyed hours of deep restful sleep. No experience is necessary to participate and begin to receive its benefits.

Yoga Nidra practice is a powerful tool for stress reduction leaving your physical body and ultimately your whole self feeling rejuvenated and refreshed.

Research shows that the process of systematic conscious relaxation we experience in Yoga Nidra slows brain waves, reliably stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system response in the body, and reduces the release of stress hormones.

Tap into the brilliance of your intuition & the power within to manifest the life you deserve.

Based in the Tantric technique of “nyasa,” this practice brings together the Indian Yogic methods of alert and relaxed concentration, compassionate observation, and guided visualization to help withdraw the senses from the external world and move the awareness into the deeper layers of the mind to inhabit a bliss state. In this highly receptive and expanded awareness, we can connect with our highest wisdom and meet life’s challenges with greater ease, clarity and compassion.

In this highly receptive and expanded awareness, we can plant the seeds of our most heart-felt intentions in the fertile soil of the mind where they are sure to take root and manifest.

You provided a wealth of information, so much more than a traditional 35 hour training, so thank you…I love that we can continue to access this information and your amazing meditations.

“Thank you for a truly lovely training. I received more than I hoped for. I’ve been practicing Yoga Nidra fairly regularly, so I thought I had a good foundation for the course (in addition to my 200hr yoga teacher training). But this training gave me so much knowledge of the practice, its history, and ability to really explore Yoga Nidra in my body."
