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?

What a beautiful gathering under tonight’s Libra New Moon... a reminder that love, when rooted in awareness, becomes the bridge between giving and receiving. We explored the archetype of The Lover, the energy that helps us meet ourselves and others through compassion, reciprocity, and honest reflection. This moon invited us to re-balance the scales... between doing and being... offering and receiving. As we rested together in Yoga Nidra, we were reminded that stillness can be a source of strength, that love can be a protective boundary, and that rest is not a withdrawal from life... It’s renewal. You can find the full replay and journal prompts from today’s Libra New Moon Yoga Nidra below: 👉 [ HERE | Replay + Journal Prompts ] This practice, this moon, and this community are all part of our shared journey back to peace — a space where we remember that love is both the teacher and the lesson.

I have chills reading the Grief, Rest & the Lessons We Don’t Learn in School post. I thought I knew what grief was up until recently, and ruminating over the what if's threatened to destroy everything I had built. I too have found that journaling soothes and helps me release the feelings that need to be expressed that were used to being repressed in fear of what speaking my truth might bring. Thank you @Tim Gray and @Ayla Nova for all the wisdom you have shared over the last year and change, and the insight into grief you shared in this article. I also had to pinch myself because I was talking to a friend last night and she said to me you are at the point where you should start being able to see the shoreline. I said it’s funny you say that, for the longest time I felt like I just was lost in the middle of the ocean with no land in sight, fighting off a force that gripped me by my ankles, trying with all it's might to pull me down into the dark depths. Because of my yoga nidra practice, this community and my other healing modalities I practice daily, I do see the shoreline. I can’t touch the bottom, but white sandy beaches are beckoning me home towards self love and light, telling me to trust that I am safe and that this grief will soften and that the force that was trying to pull me down has lessened it's grip and will continue to do so. I also use these magnet letters on my fridge as well to remind myself of all the qualities I want to embody on this healing journey through grief and transformation, these little things give me strength and so does this community of wonderful souls 🌟
