Hey, it’s Jeremy Devins from the Quietmind Yoga Podcast. Today, I want to share a practice of Yoga Nidra with you. Yoga Nidra, or yogic sleep, is typically done lying down with the intention of staying awake, though if you fall asleep and need the rest, that’s perfectly fine. Before we dive into the practice, let’s take a moment to transition into this space. It’s ideal to lie on a yoga mat or even in bed to fully rest and reset.
Over my years of practicing yoga since 2008, I’ve found that the most valuable practices I return to are the restorative and resting ones. Many experienced practitioners and peers echo this sentiment. Restorative practices allow us to reset, recenter, and process things on a deep level. Healing processes in the body occur when we are resting, as opposed to when we are awake and active. When we’re alert and engaged, our sympathetic nervous system is activated, keeping us in beta brainwaves for processing information and learning. This practice helps transition into alpha brainwaves, fostering relaxation and creativity.
Our bodies are constantly working, even when we’re not consciously aware of it. Digesting food, growing nails, and processing information from our daily experiences all continue in the background. With modern stress and information overload, it’s crucial to have time dedicated to doing nothing. Yoga Nidra provides that opportunity, allowing our brains to process and our bodies to heal.
If you want to explore these practices further, consider joining my Yoga Teacher Training Program, where I teach how to apply these principles to your life. You can join the waitlist at quietmind.yoga.com. In the program, I delve into how energy affects us and how to manage it. For instance, consuming coffee elevates our energy, while practices like Yoga Nidra bring it down, promoting relaxation. Understanding and managing these energy levers is key to balance.
Now, let’s begin our practice. Simply lay down and do nothing. You can sit if you prefer, but lying down is ideal. Enjoy your Yoga Nidra practice today.

Can you really "detoxify" in yoga?
I'll share a more grounded way to think about this based on the ancient science of Ayurveda (the science of life extension).
Then I share about an exciting new workshop where I'll be teaching some of the most powerful practice and lessons I've learned about health in my 20 years in health and wellness.
Then I'll guide you through a full hour Vinyasa practice to "Detoxify" --- but with a new definition and understanding of what that really means.
Enjoy!
Jeremy
Yoga practice doesn't end when you leave your yoga mat, in many ways, it's just beginning.
How do you apply yoga when you need it the most, outside of your practice space?
This breathing technique comes from the source texts of yoga over 2000 years ago as one of the simplest, yet most powerful ways to regulate your mind and body in the moment.
This is called langhana breathing and it works by activating your parasympathetic nervous system - the rest, digest and relax mode of your central nervous system that is necessary to relieve physical stress and calm mental duress.
I share a short practice that you can do (almost!) anywhere, anytime you need a quick reset, as well as options to practice longer if you find it helpful.
As always, I encourage you to listen to your body and notice how it feels for you. If something works, keep it and use it when you need it. If it doesn't work or resonate, find what does. I have found this technique to be incredibly helpful and useful for myself and countless students. I hope you find it helpful too!
This is an example of a way to deepen your practice beyond just asana, as I'm teaching in the Deepen Your Yoga Practice series. Join for free here. There are live sessions, replays and bonuses. If you see this later, join the waitlist for the next time I offer this training.
Enjoy your practice!

One of the most common requests I've heard from teaching thousands of yoga classes is "how do i get rid of this tension in my neck and shoulders." Part of the issue is that the upper neck and shoulders are one of the most common areas of tension for everyone. General stress plus long days on devices can lead to chronic tension and stress in the muscles of these areas.
In this video I'll help you identify the causes of the tension in your upper back, neck and shoulders and show you simple powerful ways to relieve tension.
