Short and sweet yoga nidra starts on January 9

 My series offers a nourishing 30 minute yoga nidra on Thursday evenings.

Yoga nidra is a guided lying-down meditation that will support your nervous system as it shifts to the parasympathetic state, where rest and healing happens.  My intention is to support your relaxation and sleep.  Feel free to practice in your pjs in bed, as I will not guide students out of nidra, i.e. you can remain resting and drift off to sleep….

Beginners are always warmly welcome. 

The nuts and bolts:

Date/Time: January 9, 16, 23, 30 (Thursday evenings) 8:30 pm PST 

The nidra classes will be recorded, so you can practice on your own.

Cost  $40.  Pay me directly via Venmo [Rita-Jimenez-4 and last 4 telephone digits 5447] or PayPal [handle is @ritaj65]. 

Register at the Bhakti Yoga Movement Center’s website.  You should get an email with the Zoom link for the series.

Yoga Nidra Network and their dreamy nidra library -- including one of mine

I am a big fan of Uma Dinsmore-Tuli and Nirlipta Tuli --- their Network, class offerings, integrity and wisdom are apparent in all that they do and offer. 

Their website is rich with resources to deepen your nidra journey.  It includes a massive nidra library with nidras of all kinds, in different languages and nidra styles.  Nidra for COVID support, pregnant people, children, etc.  

Their library also includes one of my nidras!!!  Proud nidra teacher moment.   This English language nidra is 19 minutes and will take you off to sleep (and not guide you back to waking).

I hope you enjoy my nidra and others in the library....

Yoga Nidra for Dreams, Shadows, + The Dark

Nurture yourself with potent yoga nidra during this season of darkness. It's also a season which can become hectic and over-scheduled with holidays and cultural expectations that are not realistic.

So come and lie down....you can hit the pause button and nourish yourself with my nidra classes, full of poetry, crystals and optional journaling. Consider it your gift to yourself.

Yoga nidra is a guided meditation that takes you to the parasympathetic state, where deep rest and healing can happen.

My upcoming nidras can be taken as a series or you can drop-in. Choose your adventure. Register here.
Read on to learn about my varied offerings this season....

October 3rd & 10th offer nidras for dreaming.

These sessions will also come with suggestions for crystals that can support dreams and sleep.

November 21st offers a nidra for the shadows.

I will share a card from the gorgeous oracle deck Wisdom of the Shadow. The nidra will be unique, as students can co-create it by sharing words that resonate for them, as well as what the oracle card inspires. After the nidra there will be time to integrate with journaling or visual art of your choosing.

December 5th & 19th offer nidras for winter rest

Slow down and connect to your breath with beautiful seasonal imagery and optional distant reiki.

Full-series participants: Along with the 5 weekly livestream yoga nidra classes, you get access to nidra recordings for your home practice until January 1.

Drop-in students are welcome, please register for the specific session you wish to join. Drop-in students do not receive access to recordings.

These items are recommended for optimal comfort during the practice:
