Yoga nidra and distant reiki series coming soon

I love yoga nidra, and I love reiki, so of course I dreamed up a way to combine them.  I think of this series as a gentle powerhouse of rest, relaxation and healing.  You the student simply lie down and rest, allowing me to guide you to a deep state of awareness, while receiving the healing energy of reiki.

My 4 week series, Yoga Nidra and distant Reiki starts on April 1.   In each class I will guide you through a sweet and seasonal nidra.  To amplify the healing I will send distant reiki to students (either present at the Livestream or listening to the recording). Reiki is an energy healing practice from Japan that nourishes me with its gentle power.  I love sharing it with those in my circle.  

  • You will receive:

    • 4 weekly livestream yoga nidra classes 

    • curated list of resources on yoga nidra and reiki

    • access to yoga nidra recordings for your home practice during the series until May 6. 

  • Dates and Times:  April 1, 8,15, 22  from 7-7:45 pm PST

New series starting this month - Yoga Nidra for the Chakras

One of my favorite things about being a nidra teacher is creating new offerings (and all the learning that entails)...so later this month you can enjoy a brand new nidra offering that taps into the chakras, the ancient South Asian philosophy of how energy flows through the body/mind/spirit.   This 4 week series will allow you to progress from the root chakra up to the crown, with nidras infused with poetry, color and rest....

I integrate crystals in the series too, so you will receive suggestions for how you can use crystals to support specific chakras each week.  There will be optional journaling prompts at the end of each class, so that you can write or draw whatever you download from the nidra experience.  

Classes are livestreamed each Monday evening, 7pm PST.  You will get recordings to support your home practice, as well as a curated list of resources on yoga nidra, chakras and crystals.

Dates are: Feb. 19, 26, March 4 and 11. 7 pm PST

Your investment is $70.

Research on the benefits of nidra

Karen Brody of Daring to Rest shared this research with us Daring to Rest nidra facilitators.

There's science behind the power of this potent and ancient practice...which was proven to help athletes recover, sleep better and manage stress.

My January nidra offerings are a great chance to experience this healing practice, pay what you can.  

Yoga nidra offerings for January - donation based

I am excited to be offering two nidra classes this month via the Bhakti Yoga Movement Center online.  They are short and sweet drop in nidras (30 minutes tops, no journaling).  Register here.

To encourage rest as we collectively recover from the holiday season (whatever that means for you), I am offering these classes on a donation basis, pay what you can.  Recordings will be available to students until Feb. 1 to support your home practice. 

Questions? Please post those here.

Podcast debut

I did my first podcast!

Wonderful yoga therapist Sarah Nelsen invited me on her podcast to talk about yoga nidra (one of my favorite topics btw).  

So please take a listen when it drops in January.  At the end you can enjoy a short nidra practice (hey, if you are driving or jogging, please pull over when it gets to that part).

Her podcast is on all the platforms, so check it out here.

Start 2024 with rest - nidra classes in January

After the holidays January rolls in...

I imagine many of us will crave some rest and quiet time to pause.

I got you.

I am offering two drop in classes with short and sweet nidras.  These classes are pay what you can, so money isn't a barrier. 

These 30 minute nidras are soft pauses in your evening.  No journaling or such.  Simple rest.

I hope you can join me.

Yoga nidra for grieving and broken hearts - a special offering

As I am in the midst of my own grief, I have been practicing yoga nidra almost every day (sometimes I miss a day, but then there have been days when I have done two nidras!).  Nidra holds me when I struggle with sleeping and when I need to pause in the middle of a full day.  

I created a special nidra for grieving hearts for my little sister who was my mom's primary caregiver for years and has been dealing with long COVID....she's one of my biggest fans of my nidras.  

Then I thought that this nidra could be offered widely to the community, because I know that many hearts are grieving for so many things, both personal and global.  

Here's a link to register (it's tomorrow!).  It's livestream, so you can practice wherever you are.  A recording will be available for more than a month to nurture your personal practice.  You will also get a sweet curated list of resources too.
