Yoga Nidra is a form of "yogic sleep" or "deep relaxation." This practice will help your body to relax and access theta brain waves. When in a theta brain wave state, you are able to access and reprogram your subconscious mind. This means healing on a deep level of reprogramming the subconscious limiting beliefs that you picked up during childhood and throughout your life. Our brains have the incredible ability to change throughout our lives. Yoga Nidra can help to start reinforce a positive narrative in the subconscious brain when planting a Sankalpa (heartfelt desire). 

This shorter 20 minute Yoga Nidra practice focuses on deep relaxation of the body. Yoga Nidra is usually practiced lying down on a yoga mat - use props to make yourself comfortable for the duration of this yoga practice. A bolster under your knees, a pillow under your head, cover yourself with a blanket etc. If you need extra comfort you can lie down on a couch or bed but ensure that you consciously work to stay awake. Yoga Nidra is a form of sleep but a sleep with awareness. Anchor to the sound of my voice to stay consciously awake during this practice! Enjoy xx
