Relax, rest, and rejuvanate
Yoga nidrā is a wonderful practice of stillness and deep relaxation, giving you the rest you didn’t know you needed.
Unlike a typical āsana practice, yoga nidrā is practiced in stillness, comfort, and peace so it’s a more accessible way to get the deep benefits of yoga whether you’re tired, under the weather, injured, or for any other reason you don’t want to or can’t get on your mat.
Nidrā Club’s always open! Whenever you’re ready for some deep relaxation and stress relief, simply log in, get comfortable, and choose a guided practice from the growing library. If you choose the ‘unlimited nidrā library + live practices’ membership tier you can also join me up to twice a month for a live, online yoga nidrā practice; members in the ‘everything + one one-to-one nidrā’ tier get just that, alongside everything else you’ll benefit from a one-on-one practice every month of your membership to deepen your experience and address specific needs. (See below for an overview of the tiers and links to purchase.)

A Little Bit More About Yoga Nidrā
What is yoga nidrā?
Yoga nidrā is also known as “yogic sleep” or “effortless relaxation”, and may sometimes be called “non-sleep deep rest”, or NSDR (a term coined by Dr Andrew Huberman); whatever you call it, it is a practice of deep relaxation that involves guided imagery and simple breathwork. It is a kind of rest where your body is in a fully relaxed state, while your mind remains awake.
My favourite way to describe yoga nidrā is that you do nothing & gain everything.
Unlike other forms of meditation, it can be practiced laying down or sitting comfortably, and always with a teacher guiding the session. As with all of my classes, I advocate for you using as many props and supports as you need, alongside cosy clothes & blankets. It can also be really nice to practice yoga nidrā in a snug & restful setting, with dimmed lights, a hot water bottle, and a feeling of warmth & safety.
Although you may feel as if you drifted off during your nidrā – and your body may have – your consciousness, or mind, is still able to listen to and benefit from the ‘story’ or ‘script’ of the nidrā practice; both aspects of ourselves do what they need during the practice, to allow us to feel fully rested in body, mind, and spirit.
Sometimes this isn’t always fully apparent until after the end of the nidrā, or even in the days afterwards, and that’s nothing to worry about – every body responds to these practices differently, but whatever benefits are needed by us are always available to be taken.
