7-Days to Re-Align
over the next seven days, I’m going to be taking some time to rest & restore and would love your insights, but first, a little update. i was invited, somewhat last minute, to guide a yoga nidra practice at a beautiful women’s retreat. with everything moving through my heart lately, it felt like A FULL-BODY soul-aligned ‘YES’. while i’m there, i’ll be turning inward. listening. gathering inspiration. allowing space for what wants to emerge next for this community and beyond. you may not hear from me quite as much over the next few days. and i trust you. this space continues because you continue. in the meantime, i gently suggest revisiting the seven-day REST & RESTORE chakra series. move through it slowly. choose the one that calls to you. or begin again from the root and journey upward. and here’s something i’d love to invite… If you were to attend a retreat designed exactly for you… what would it include? more silence? nature walks? deep conversation? long yoga nidras? nervous system workshops? journaling by candlelight? share with me below. i’m listening 😉😉 Connect with you all again soon!

Nice, retreat!! I have been dreaming of leading yoga nidra at retreats recently as a new adventure in my post-burnout life! For me a perfect retreat would include… Short Gentle yinyoga in the mornings and evenings Yoga nidra For siesta and evening before sleeping Real homegrown food with energy and real taste Nature walks yes Sauna and cold water possibilities Cacao ceremony Maybe some dancing 💃 enjoy Ayla!
DAY 26 of 28 | Inner Radiance
Today wasn’t a “push through it” kind of day. It was a “lie down and listen” kind of day. As the practice unfolded, I felt something shift. Like clouds parting without effort. That light we forget about? Still there. 🤩 This one is perfect for your morning resetor your nighttime exhale.

Thanks, definitely insomnia these days. 😬 My favorite is the 7-hour chakra. It goes on for 7 hours 😀🫶🙏
DAY 21 of 28 | welcoming lightness
I was reluctant to share this. Often, guides and teachers are believed to have it all together. Awakened and cool as cucumbers. But I am going to be real with you. I still feel everything you feel. I have a system. And yes, it works. But it is not linear. Here is the radical and honest truth: Sometimes things ache into the marrow of your bones. This past year has been marked by significant loss for me. The Year of the Snake has revealed gifts I would not have chosen, yet somehow needed. Yes, I call this grief a gift (and I know not everyone will agree). Not because it feels good. But because it mirrors how deeply I have loved. The pain is in direct proportion to the love. And some days it presses against my ribs like it wants to be known. What is the alternative? Numbness? At one point in my life, I would have chosen that. An old familiar mask. A quiet disappearance. But losing everything once before taught me something sacred. Numbing is best replaced with intention. 'No thing' can hold us if we are willing to feel. So now, each morning and night, I whisper my sankalpa. I surrender to stillness. I release the need to fix what hurts. I allow myself to be held by something larger than my fear. The void has become a safe place. And still, grief visits. Today, after my Nidra, it crept back in. Heavy. Low and settling into my chest. For a moment, I felt that old pull to retreat. Instead, I stood up and went for a walk. I sent gratitude to the trees. To the lake. To the mountains. To the winter wind brushing my cheeks. To the warm coat wrapped around my body. I even sent gratitude to the ache in my heart... And slowly, something shifted. The tightness began to loosen. My breath deepened. AND I AM NOT KIDDING YOU... The sun came out. It just simply arrived. I turned toward it and smiled while tears ran down my face. My sweet Sun. My remembrance. I am safe. I am alive. I am. Lightness does not always announce itself. Sometimes it comes as relief.

Beautiful Ayla! It can all exist. Teachers or therapists… no we indeed don’t have it all figured out. No cucumbers 🥒 … luckily! (although I love a good cucumber from a vegetable garden! 🤣) I wouldn’t want to exchange my grief for the numbness either. Thanks for sharing and for your vulnerability. And when the heaviness and light(ness) can coexist ….when they are both welcome… they move through us, we move through them, we know we have loved and we have lived. The gifts are in most unexpected places, I have learned this from you. 🙏🫶❤️
DAY 20 of 28 | allowing openness 🖤✨
There is courage in letting your heart be seen. Even by yourself. Yoga Nidra becomes a place to practice that opens with compassion for whatever arises. ✨ Premium + VIP Supporters | Heart Chakra | 20 Minutes SHARE BELOW | Where do you feel more open?

@Ayla Nova it can help sooo much to move the energy, to move with and through the emotions, to experience the opposites… to embody what’s going through us and not just think about it, to put our mind into our feet…the other day I went dancing and our teacher was instructing us to feel the heaviness in our bodies and dance with that and then the lightness…. Was so grounding and grief came through and then the lightness was so energizing and playful. Then I came home and listened to a yoga nidra to rest and you brought in heaviness and lightness too… perfect fit and so healing together ❤️‍🩹 Have you ever tried to dance a 5Rhytm wave? Goes from flowing to staccato to chaos to lyrical to stillness… There are playlists on Spotify, it is interesting to try, even nicer in a class with a group of course but see if you like it. Hereby two playlists I sometimes use on my own; first one is from the founder Gabrielle Roth https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2Hgnrsp0Gr1EhWBpaGDDT5?si=z-EAuEWnRXaO38rDaeMIdA&pi=AtaSsDBZRNuW9 Second one from my teacher here in Amsterdam https://www.mixcloud.com/mirjam-van-hasselt/loving-your-body-wave-female-way/ Happy dancing! Let me know if you try any! 😘🫶
