NA'ALEH YOGA: Nidra Journeys for Deep Rest+ Close Your Eyes and Stay Awake... This Nidra journey is rooted in the mystical energy of the Hebrew month of Tammuz, a time traditionally associated with the rectification of sight—not just physical seeing, but the sacred act of inner vision. In this practice, you'll be gently guided through the inner landscape of your body, breath, and memory using color, imagery, and kavanah/sankalpa (intention). Tammuz is a month of destruction and burning, but also one of re-alignment—where our ability to truly see can begin again from the inside out. This traditionally structured Yoga Nidra meditation focuses on inner sight and offers a color and memory visualization to support your exploration of your mind and heart. This practice is designed to help you relax, heal, and reconnect with your wholeness. Episode Summary: Here's what you can expect: Preparation: Begin by settling into a comfortable position. Make sure you're fully supported completely at ease. Intention Setting: You will be guided to set a powerful Sankalpa/kavanah (intention) for this practice. Choose a meaningful, positive "I am..." statement that resonates with your heart and soul, reflecting your life's orienting resolve and deepest truth. Rotation of Consciousness: Experience a thorough body scan by focusing on each part of your body to rotate your consciousness into a state of deep healing rest. Breath Awareness: Practice guided breathwork to connect with the resonant colors within you Polarities: Train your mind to respond rather than react by practicing holding space for yourself with opposite experiences Visualization: Experience a meaningful color and memory visualization Return to Your Intention: Reconnect with the intention you set earlier. Let it sink deeply into your being. Externalization: Gradually transition back to your ordinary waking state and integrate the practice Background Music: Mind Relaxation by LightMusic, Pixabay Subscribe to Na'aleh Yoga for more meditative Yoga Nidra journeys and transformative experiences.

Les amis du monde du rêve, en ces temps de chaleur, où le yang est à son maximum et parfois nous agite, je vous ai préparé un nidra que j'ai appelé harmonie. J'invite un équilibre entre le yin et le yang, le feu et l'eau, le féminin et le masculin, le faire et le laisser faire. Qu'il y ait une bonne clarté de l'esprit pour avancer avec élan et joie sur notre chemin. Un nidra comme un rituel qui apaise et qui nous rappelle que nous avons tout en soi et autour de soi pour aller bien, pour célébrer la Vie. Alors beau mois de juillet! Belles fêtes, beaux feux de Joie...avec coeur
In this episode, Dr Vignesh Devraj guides us through the deeply restorative practice of Yoga Nidra, also known as yogic sleep. In a world where restlessness has become the norm and true relaxation feels out of reach, Yoga Nidra offers a powerful antidote.Dr. Vignesh gently leads you into this ancient practice of conscious rest, allowing the body to enter a profound state of relaxation while the mind remains quietly aware, tapping into the healing potential of the space between wakefulness and sleep. You'll experience how Yoga Nidra recalibrates the nervous system, accesses the subconscious, and promotes deep emotional and physical restoration.If you are interested in doing one on one Ayurvedic consultation with Dr Vignesh Devraj, please find the details in this link: https://calendly.com/drvignesh/30-minute-session-with-dr-vignesh-devraj-md-ay-istIf you are economically challenged, please use the form provided to request a free Ayurvedic consultation here.

Vata is responsible for Prana - the life energy, nervous system - the master panel of our body, and our emotions. In Ayurveda, it is mentioned that controlling Vata is the most difficult part of healing and recovery. Recently, I have recorded a workshop on - Balancing The Mighty Vata which has over 6 hrs of content, with notes filled with practical inputs that can be integrated into our life.

Do you think of rest as a luxury instead of a necessity? Or maybe you can't seem to rest even when you try? This week, I'm joined by Dr. Therese Huston, a cognitive scientist and psychologist who specializes in brain health. Dr. Huston breaks down why rest is crucial for building mental strength and shares actionable techniques to give your brain the reset it needs. Some of the things we discuss are: The difference between deep rest and just zoning out. What deep rest is and how to get it. What happens to your brain when you don't take breaks. Simple ways to rest during the workday, no matter how busy you are. Breathing techniques that calm your brain and help you recharge. How practices like Yoga Nidra and spending time in nature enhance your mental strength. How more rest can increase focus, reduce stress, and prevent burnout. Why deep rest is essential to your mental health and how it helps you grow mentally stronger. Want more tips for building mental strength?

Hola! I'm Francesca Oddie, astrologer and business mentor (as of today!) I'm a HUGE fan of wellness and when I discovered Yoga Nidra in 2012 I was EVANGELICAL about its mystical powers. I had a very very very busy brain. Very. Meditation is not easy for me… but Yoga Nidra has STRUCTURE and a story, it's engaging whilst being relaxing.

New Moon, New Beginnings: The Joyful Body Soundbath Immersion with Yoga Nidra Meditation** ✨
In this rich and wide-ranging episode, we sit down with the legendary Rod Stryker to talk about his early days teaching in Los Angeles and how his approach to yoga has evolved over the past 40 years. From the simplicity of sequencing to the complexity of modern distractions (looking at you, phones), we explore the shifts in vinyasa and ask: what's the point if not regulation? If not wholeness?We dive into the importance of embodying what you teach. Shouldn't you actually practice something before you teach it? Rod thinks so. We also talk about learning to see bodies, trusting your own experience, and how to sustain your practice across the decades- letting exercise be exercise and yoga be the meditation it's intended to be, because regulating the nervous system is more important than ever.There's a deep dive into Yoga Nidra (and yes, we teach you how to pronounce it). We explore the liminal, energizing space of yogic sleep that might just be the unsung hero of modern yoga. And of course, there are plenty of laughs along the way- including Giana calling Bradshaw out mid-show (it's hilarious), and we wrap up with a truly funny story from Rod involving a porta-potty.

In the closing episode of The Rested Mother Series, Karen offers a gift of deep rest: a guided Yoga Nidra meditation centered on inner mothering—a powerful rest practice for anyone longing to feel more held, rooted, and resilient. Before the meditation, Karen reflects on why connecting with our inner mother is essential on the path to becoming a rested woman. Whether you were well mothered or not, inner mothering allows you to offer yourself the unconditional love, care, and compassion you may have missed—and to rest from a place of wholeness. This practice is for all women—mothers and non-mothers alike—who want to rest more deeply, parent less reactively, and live more fully from the inside out.
In this deeply reflective episode of The Rested Mother Series, Isabelle Griffith shares how rest became her lifeline after her sense of self collapsed under the weight of perfectionism, burnout, and self-doubt. What began as moments of peace on the yoga mat eventually led her to the transformational practice of yoga nidra—and a profound reconnection with her inner world. Through rest, Isabelle not only began to heal the parts of her she once rejected, but also reclaimed her voice, her radiance, and her capacity to live rooted and whole. Her story is a powerful invitation for working mothers to pause, soften, and remember the sacred self within. The Rested Mother Series shares 5 powerful short rest stories from Daring to Rest Facilitators who chose rest in the midst of motherhood, grief, burnout, and healing. These mothers dared to pause, listen, and reclaim themselves through yoga nidra and deep rest. You are invited to hear what happens when a mother rests—and rises rooted.

In this powerful episode of The Rested Mother Series, Jennifer Allen shares her deeply personal journey from decades of toxic productivity and motherhood exhaustion to a life anchored in rest and self-trust. For years, Jen overrode the wisdom of her body and the whispers of her soul—until her nervous system and spirit could no longer sustain the push. Contracting Long Covid was the final push to make rest nonnegotiable. Through yoga nidra and reconnecting with the rhythms of nature, she began to lay down her armor, pick up her pillow and blanket, and reimagine what it means to live, parent, and work from a rested place. Her story is a courageous testament to the healing that becomes possible when we stop doing—and start resting.

Raised to equate love with doing, and later navigating motherhood, separation, and financial challenge, Jenny reached a breaking point that led her to the healing power of yoga nidra. What began as a tool for survival became a practice of self-mothering, helping her rebuild her nervous system, reconnect with her inner child, and model a rested life for her daughter. Her story is a beautiful testament to the quiet power of rest to restore, rewire, and reimagine what's possible. The Rested Mother Series shares 5 powerful short rest stories from Daring to Rest Facilitators who chose rest in the midst of motherhood, grief, burnout, and healing. These mothers dared to pause, listen, and reclaim themselves through yoga nidra and deep rest. You are invited to hear what happens when a mother rests—and rises rooted.
