Yoga Nidra
Take a full-body exhale and sink into deep, guided rest.
Yoga Nidra—often called yogic sleep—is a deeply restorative guided meditation practice done lying down in Savasana (your most comfortable resting pose). This form of Yoga Nidra meditation gently guides you into a conscious state between waking and sleeping, where the nervous system softens, the mind quiets, and the body enters true rest.
This practice supports a full nervous system reset, helping you move from stress and overstimulation into calm, balance, and renewal.

Why It Works
Modern life keeps many of us in a constant state of stress response—fight-or-flight—which can impact sleep, mood, focus, and overall wellbeing. Yoga Nidra helps the body shift into the parasympathetic nervous system state: rest-and-digest.
