Get comfy, lay down and come join this breathplay with a yoga nidra. Not to be done when driving or operating machinery! Not suitable for epilepsy or pregnancy. Breathplay and Yoga Nidra has completely transformed my life. They have transformed my relationship to myself and others, tools that have created freedom around anxiety, sleep and over thinking.
This session was inspired after our last episode Sleep, Melatonin and Boundaries where I share how pre 2020 I was heavily reliant on medication, weed and supplements to aid my sleep. I would struggle to fall asleep, wake up frequently through the night, tossing and turning plus feeling like sh*t the next day. My anxiety was sky high and I was on the verge of what felt like another breakdown. In Sept 2020 I was blessed enough to have a close friend encourage me to try a video that literally changed my life overnight which gave me the strength to make the changes that have led me to now to falling asleep naturally, sleep through the night and wake up feeling energised and ready for the day.
