I have been practicing Ayla‘s YN pretty well from the beginning of when this YouTube channel was born. At today’s MRI scan I was quite apprehensive because I get claustrophobic. You get offered to listen to music while you’re in the tube. I wished I could have listened to a Yoga Nidra session instead. So I went through my own body scan and although I couldn’t calm my nervous system completely, it still helped a lot. And for this I am grateful! I wonder if anyone else has had a similar experience.

You voted… and I Am Enough is the Yoga Nidra of choice. 🌕 We chose the full moon image. She is whole, luminous, steady. Even when part of her disappears in shadow, nothing about her worth changes. I’ve always felt that three days before and three days after a full or new moon is where the real awareness lives. Not in the peak itself, but in the soft edges around it. A threshold. A noticing. And in eclipse season, especially, this is less about dramatic release or bold manifestation. It is about presence. About being with what is true right now. Physically. Energetically. Emotionally. Mentally. Spiritually. Let yourself simply witness. Consider how far you have come to be here. The version of you who first found this practice. The version of you who almost gave up. The version of you who kept going anyway. You are enough. Let this Yoga Nidra be something you return to again and again. Not only during this cosmic weather, but whenever you forget. Whenever the shadow feels louder than the light. 🌕 SHARE 🌕 For those of you who completed the 28 days, or did your very best to show up, I would love to hear what resonated most. What shifted?

After practicing the Insomnia session last night, I’m so happy to share that I had a deep, nourishing sleep. To my surprise, I even woke up before my alarm. SHARE | How has Yoga Nidra shifted something in your life? ✨ Awaken Your Dreams | Yoga Nidra | 42 Min → VIP & Premium Supporters → Free Members I began the morning with Sun Salutations, the traditional opening sequence of an Ashtanga series. Lately, I’ve been focusing more on weight training because my doctors have encouraged me to strengthen my muscles to support my bones, which have truly been through a lot. Still, stepping back onto the mat for asana felt like coming home. It has been calling me back to my roots. After the movement, instead of my usual 20-minute practice, I chose a longer 40-minute session to anchor the energy for the day. And this is why I teach this work. Yoga Nidra was not really created for falling asleep (although it is masterful at doing so for many)... it was about changing the way you wake up. It is about regulating your nervous system so deeply that your waking life feels different. Your body feels different. Your choices feel clearer. This is the shift from consuming a practice… to embodying it. Today I’m preparing some final pieces for welcoming the Nova Nidra Teacher Training. After speaking one-on-one with those who have enrolled, I feel deeply moved. These are beautiful beings ready to live with radical self-acceptance, compassionate awareness, and the courage to trust their own voice. If you feel the nudge, trust your intuition... There are only a few seats remaining and Awaken Your Dreams.

Over the last 27 days, I’ve been quietly experimenting. One practice in the morning on my couch or mat. One short one in the afternoon on my mat. One at night in my bed. And much has shifted but something fascinating... My dreams have become more vivid, textured, and alive. After years of practicing with structure, I’ve developed the capacity to self-guide. That capacity was built through dicipline and devotion. When I let the practice unfold from the inside rather than follow a script. A few nights ago, I sat for what felt like fifteen minutes in the liminal space petting my cat, Biggie, who passed away. It was probably closer to two. But time didn’t matter. I could feel the texture of his fur, freshly trimmed from the groomers. I could see his little pom-pom tail. Feel his weight. The warmth. I hold both joy and loss as I share this. It was so special be beyond the veil. In another session, I had the lucid awareness of a dragon gently extracting the pain from my heart. Strange? Yes. Symbolic? Absolutely. Healing? Without question. These experiences live somewhere between imagination and memory. Between conscious and unconscious. Between worlds. And I want to be clear. I’m not speaking about this in a mystical, untethered way. I’m speaking about the nervous system. The dreamscape is one of the places the psyche metabolizes what the waking mind cannot. When we practice regularly, especially in the morning and at night, we begin to build a bridge into that liminal space. Lucid. Soft. Receptive. It can feel like a vacation. Like stepping into another realm where repair happens quietly. Where the heart gets tended to without force. This last month, as I’ve been repairing my own heart, this devotion to the practice has been supporting me in ways I didn’t anticipate. There is something powerful about unlocking the dream body. About befriending the space between wakefulness and sleep. If you are feeling called to deepen your practice and go beyond... this is the season.
