Preparing Your Nest: Setting for Deep Relaxation and Healing
Lie comfortably on your back with a supportive pillow under knees, a folded blanket beneath the head, and a light cover over the body. Eye pillow or shawl reduces stimulation, inviting deeper safety and quicker letting go.

Choose a gentle voice and subtle ambient music, or silence. Short sessions of ten to twenty minutes help consistency; longer journeys on weekends invite profound release. Experiment, then tell us what rhythm truly serves you.
The Journey Within: Stages of a Yoga Nidra Practice
Begin by planting a heartfelt sankalpa, a short positive statement felt in the body. Instead of pushing change, let the intention be nurtured by ease, dreamlike attention, and your own honest, steady presence.
Daily Rhythm: Weaving Yoga Nidra into Life
Morning grounding
Before emails or scrolling, rest ten minutes with a short Nidra. Let intention set your compass, then rise slowly. Notice whether patience, clarity, or gentleness travels with you into breakfast, commute, and first conversations.
Midday reset
When focus frays, do a twenty-minute session. Use a chair or yoga mat, whichever welcomes comfort. Afterward, drink water and stretch. Share how your mood, creativity, or problem-solving shifted after pausing with compassionate, structured rest.
Evening unwind
Before bed, favor shorter scripts and darker rooms. If you drift into sleep, consider the practice successful. Track how your sleep latency changes over weeks, and invite loved ones to try a gentle evening ritual together.
