First Yoga Nidra class

Our first live Yoga Nidra class is tomorrow, and I wanted to give you some tips beforehand, as I’m sure this is a new practice for many.

Yoga Nidra is essentially a guided relaxation practice that takes you through the layers of your being - body, breath, mind and heart - to help you access deep rest and inner awareness. If that sounds a bit too woo woo for you, the scientific community describes it as “non-sleep deep relaxation” or NSDR. Either way you look at it, it’s a beautiful practice that brings your back to your body.

To prepare for this class, make sure you have a comfortable place to lie down on the floor for about 20 min. Build yourself a nest so you are truly comfortable and warm. If your back hurts or your feet are cold, you probably won’t relax! So place a pillow or a rolled up blanket anywhere there is space between you and the floor, such as under your knees or behind your neck. Have a blanket handy if you feel cold. Perhaps an eye mask or a towel to place over your eyes if the room will be bright.

At the start of class I’ll walk you through this, so just make sure you are in a quiet space and have some pillows and blankets with you for set up.

Of course the replay will be available for you if you can’t make it live.

Any questions before class, just drop them in the comments below!
