WHAT IS YOGA NIDRA?

Yoga Nidra is a beginner-friendly, effortless meditation practice, with ancient yogic roots that guides you into a state of ‘non-sleep deep rest.’

This state of consciousness produces brain waves patterns similar to those experienced in sleep, providing a wide range of benefits for mind, body, and spirit in 20-30 minutes a day.

  • are ready to shift subconscious beliefs and patterns - beginning with your relationship to rest

  • feel disconnected from center - and from yourself

  • want to create a transformational meditation practice that is deeply nurturing, profoundly restorative, and luxurious

What are some of the Benefits?

  • boosts mood

  • releases physical tension

  • improves executive functioning productivity, and creativity

Tell Me More, Hil…

Yoga Nidra is the ultimate meditation practice. It’s effortless, powerful - and it feels so amazing that creating a committed daily meditation practice is a ‘hell yes!’ - rather than a ‘should.’

It addresses all the major pain points that modern humans are facing.

I call Yoga Nidra an adaptogenic meditation because it improves the body’s stress response, supporting hormonal homeostasis. It boosts energy - and improves sleep. If you’re struggling with insomnia, it can support you as a powerful natural sleep aid, training your body and mind to access the parasympathetic response. And if you practice during the day, it will support you as a ‘sleep supplement,’ hacking the midday circadian rhythm dip - AND improving sleep quality at night.

(Sidebar teachable moment - you might hear people say that ‘20-40 minutes of Yoga Nidra is the equivalent of 2-3 hours of deep sleep’ - that’s not true. And it should not be approached as a sleep substitute. There is no substitute for a good night’s sleep.)

These are just a few examples of how Yoga Nidra can support you. The full benefits of Yoga Nidra are best understood over time - and through direct experience.

As soon as you begin a Yoga Nidra practice, you’ll experience a reduction in stress and anxiety, improved mood, increased energy, and an enhanced ability to focus. I’m so stoked for you to begin your practice and I look forward to guiding you on your path! 🥳

I Need This! How Do I Start a Yoga Nidra Practice?

There many so amazing Yoga Nidra recordings available online either for free or for a low cost.

But here’s the thing about plopping down & popping on a recording…

💥Yoga Nidra is a deep rest practice based in non-doing and letting go.

💥And for most folks - these things are challenging.

So if you want to get the most out of your Yoga Nidra practice, before beginning:

💥You have to know what deep rest is - and what it isn’t.

💥You have to understand what it means to just be.

💥You have to feel safe to loosen your grip and let go.

And as you start to explore embodying these teachings of effortlessness and ease, you’re going to have to face some deeply entrenched subconscious programming that will prevent you from creating the well-rested life you deserve - and desire.

You’ll experience:

  • guilt for resting

  • fear of taking a break and losing momentum

  • resistance to listening to your body

  • procrastinating rest - telling yourself ‘I’ll rest when…’

And you will need supportive tools and guidance to reprogram your subconscious so you can prevent burnout - and create the life of grounded presence, joy, and ease that you’re craving.

I got you, friend.

I created An online course (with TONS OF BONUSES!) to guide you on your journey to transformational deep rest.

(please note, it’s not a YOga Nidra course, but Yoga Nidra is a big part of it!)
