Evening Yoga Nidra for Deep Rest

Thursday, Nov 14, 2024 7:00 PM - 8:15 PM EST Zoom Live Stream

Unwind after a long day with this guided Yoga Nidra (yogic sleep) session. Designed to quiet the nervous system, release mental chatter, and prepare your body for deeply restorative sleep.

About This Event

Yoga Nidra is an ancient practice of conscious relaxation that guides you into a state between waking and sleeping. It's clinically proven to lower cortisol, reduce insomnia symptoms, and enhance emotional regulation.

In this 45-minute evening session, you'll be guided through a systematic body scan, breath awareness, and visualization techniques specifically sequenced to transition your nervous system from "fight or flight" to "rest and digest".

  • Release physical tension and mental fatigue
  • Improve sleep quality and fall asleep faster
  • Cultivate mindful presence and emotional clarity
  • Beginner-friendly: no prior yoga experience needed

What to bring: A comfortable mat or bed, a blanket if you get cold, and a quiet space where you won't be disturbed. Lying down is encouraged.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need experience with yoga or meditation?
Not at all. Yoga Nidra is practiced lying down and requires no flexibility or prior experience. Elena provides clear, gentle guidance suitable for complete beginners.
Will I fall asleep during the practice?
That's actually a great sign! While the goal is conscious relaxation, many participants naturally drift into deep sleep. The practice is designed to be beneficial whether you stay lightly aware or fully rest.
Can I join if I can't make the live time?
Yes! All ticket holders receive a high-quality recording sent via email within 2 hours after the session. You can access it for life.
Is this suitable for anxiety or chronic stress?
Absolutely. Clinical studies show Yoga Nidra significantly reduces cortisol and anxiety markers. However, it is a wellness practice and not a substitute for professional medical or therapeutic care.
