Thank you for being here in the Nova Nidra community. Every single message you send, every session you listen to, every moment you carve out for rest has shaped what this space has become. I’m truly grateful. For three years, I’ve shared Yoga Nidra on YouTube, Spotify, Apple, and now here. More than 30,000 people have practiced with me on YouTube, DOUBLE that on the podcast, and almost 800 of you have gathered in this community. That is wild. To keep creating from a place of presence instead of burnout, I’ve opened the option for you to support this community in a way that also feeds your own rest practice. To learn more...

I need to share something from the heart. Our Nova Nidra community has always been rooted in rest, healing, and accessibility. Over the last three-plus years, I’ve poured my heart into creating accessible practices and recently building this space, all of which I have done freely and with deep devotion. And it’s been one of the most meaningful chapters of my life. As this community grows, I’m learning to honour not just the rhythm of giving, but the rhythm of restoring. In that spirit, we’re introducing a tiered membership system. This is about sustainability and creating an ecosystem that supports not only you, but the continued future of Nova Nidra too. This way, I can continue to create what you love most: Deeply resourced Yoga Nidra sessions, born from presence, not survival. This shift will also allow me to bring in beautiful souls to support the work behind the scenes… so I can share more of what I love and feel is healing to our collective... Nidras, Offerings, and nervous system care that can ripple out into your lives. And because this is OUR community, OUR collective, your voice matters deeply in shaping what’s next! Is there anything you’d love to see in the upcoming tier system? What’s felt most meaningful or supportive to you so far? Your feedback will help ensure that what we create reflects your values and your experience, while also keeping this sanctuary sustainable… for all of us. Thank you for being part of this journey. I’m so grateful to be walking this path with you. Sending you all so much love! Ayla 🌙✨ P.S. What draws you to this space?

Today is Cat's birthday, and I want to take a moment to acknowledge this incredible woman. I truly would not be here without her. She is a soul mate in the truest sense. Before we met, we lived like ships in the night. Her name floating through circles of aviation and hospitality, but when she landed in my life… there was no turning back. Some of you may already know this story… but Cat and I officially became friends when I was diagnosed with cancer. She brought food to the hospital and my house. She started a meal train and messaged me every day while I was in treatment. In the middle of a health crisis, I didn’t imagine I’d be making new friends, but this acquaintance became my lifeline. Cat is nurturing. Endlessly loving. A natural at creating community and connection. I love her ability to whip up anything in the kitchen, and to this day, she still cooks for me... no matter where we are in life or in the world. In Yoga Nidra, Annamaya Kosha translates as the food body (the physical body), the part of us that needs nourishment and care. And that’s what Cat offers in every moment: Nourishment. Not just through meals, but through presence, humour, love, and the sacred art of showing up. Happy Birthday, my Cat. You are a gift. You always have been. I will be with her soon and have travelled over mountains to see her... My turn to prepare a meal for you. In full transparency, I'll be taking you for dinner @Cat Jones we both know that's for the best. 😂
