In this expansive conversation, I got a chance to talk to yoga and Ayurveda teacher, mentor, and author Indu Aurora to explore what yoga truly is — and what it is not. We started by unpacking one of Indu's powerful statements: "The goal of yoga is yoga. Everything else is a side benefit." This conversation invites teachers to look beyond flexibility, strength, and stress relief — and into yoga as a state of realization. Indu draws from classical teachings and the commentary on the Yoga Sutras to clarify that yoga is not simply a practice — it is a state of samadhi, a realization of the unchanging self beneath the ever-changing body, mind, and emotions. We take a deep dive into one of Indu's main areas of wisdom, Yoga Nidra and then finish the conversation with some salient pieces of wisdom for all yoga teachers.  In this episode you'll hear: why modern practitioners and teachers get stuck focusing on the "fix" why Yoga Nidra is both powerful and accessible how to keep Yoga Nidra from becoming robotic why you should make nature your guru the power of unlearning how to choose a teacher why we both love confusion and doubt Learn More From Indu www.yogsadhna.com https://www.instagram.com/induaroraofficial/ This episode is brought to you by OfferingTree, an easy-to-use, all-in-one online platform for yoga teachers that provides a personal website, booking, payment, blogging, and many other great features.

I det här avsnittet av Paus guidar Karin Björkegren Jones dig genom en kort yoganidra för lymfsystemet – en djup vila där kroppen får möjlighet att återhämta sig och stimulera sitt naturliga flöde.Genom stillsam kroppsskanning, medveten andning och en personlig intention får du landa i kroppen och ge ditt inre system utrymme att arbeta. Du bjuds in att visualisera ett mjukt, silvrigt vatten som rör sig genom kroppen – ett inre flöde som sköljer bort det som inte längre behövs och hjälper lymfsystemet att cirkulera fritt.I denna yoganidra får du också formulera en intention som stödjer ditt inre flöde, till exempel att ditt lymfsystem rör sig fritt och håller dig frisk. När kroppen får vila djupt kan nervsystemet lugnas och kroppens egna återhämtningsprocesser aktiveras.Det här är ett avsnitt för dig som vill ge kroppen en stund av djup vila och samtidigt stödja ditt lymfflöde på ett mjukt och naturligt sätt. En paus där du får landa, släppa taget och låta ditt inre vatten fortsätta flöda fritt.

Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is stop.

Developmental behavioral pediatrician Roxanne Almas discusses her article "The making of a rested healer." Roxanne shares her deeply personal journey through the "quiet unraveling" of burnout and the profound grief of losing both parents. She describes how she moved away from the cold efficiency of modern medicine to rediscover her "right brain" through creativity and intuition. The conversation explores the practice of Yoga Nidra as a portal to healing, challenging the "grind culture" of health care by framing rest not as a reward, but as a radical right. Roxanne draws powerful comparisons to aviation and athletics, arguing that just as pilots require rest for safety, physicians need a "Rest Ethic" to preserve their humanity and competence.

In this episode of the Midlife Purpose Project, Katie welcomes yoga teachers Megan Miksitz and Anna Trezzi to the yoga teacher roundtable podcast for a grounded conversation about how yoga supports healing, self-discovery, and inner peace—especially in midlife.Megan shares about her teaching across vinyasa, yin, and Yoga Nidra, explaining how yin yoga offers deep restorative benefits while Yoga Nidra provides a powerful gateway into meditative awareness and nervous system regulation.Anna discusses her focus on interoception and trauma-sensitive yoga, and how these approaches help students safely reconnect with their bodies.Together, they explore the powerful shift many women experience when yoga moves from being “just exercise” to becoming a practice of self-awareness, emotional regulation, and healing.In this conversation, you'll hear:How yin yoga creates a safe space for body acceptanceWhy trauma-sensitive yoga supports anxiety and nervous system healingThe difference between yoga and competitive movement cultureHow consistent practice builds resilience and emotional balanceThe real challenges yoga teachers face behind the scenesWhy authenticity matters more than perfection in teachingBoth Megan and Anna share personal stories of how yoga transformed their relationship with their bodies, their anxiety, and their sense of purpose. Katie highlights how the practice creates a ripple effect—when we cultivate peace and presence within ourselves, it naturally influences how we show up in the world.This episode is a reminder that yoga is not about performance or flexibility. It is an ongoing path of healing, awareness, and self-discovery—one that meets you exactly where you are.

Indu Arora, a yoga and Ayurveda teacher with over two decades of experience, offers a perspective on yoga nidra that extends far beyond the structured, technique-driven formats familiar to many modern practitioners. Drawing from Vedic, Tantric, Upanishadic, and Puranic texts, Indu emphasizes that yoga nidra is not simply a guided relaxation practice but a philosophy, a state of consciousness, and a bridge to deeper self-realization. As she notes, "Content without context" represents one of the most significant gaps in contemporary yoga education, and understanding the philosophical foundations of yoga nidra is essential to accessing its true depth. One of the most illuminating aspects of Indu's teaching is her etymological exploration of the word "ratri," found in the Rig Veda. Rather than representing darkness or ignorance, ratri breaks down as "ra" (nurturing, nourishing, uplifting) and "tri" (to protect), revealing yoga nidra as a protective, nourishing force present during sleep. In Tantric texts such as the Devi Mahatmyam, yoga nidra is personified as a Goddess, while in the Mandukya Upanishad it represents Turiya—the fourth state of consciousness beyond waking, dreaming, and deep sleep. This richness, Indu argues, is largely absent from the modern, highly structured approaches to yoga nidra that have emerged in the past century. Indu is candid about the challenges of integrating philosophy with experiential practice. She waited seventeen years after beginning her formal yoga education before receiving her first yoga nidra training—not because the opportunity was unavailable, but because she understood that genuine practice and embodiment must precede teaching. She is critical of the modern expectation that completing a certification immediately qualifies one to teach, arguing that this approach produces practitioners who regurgitate information rather than transmit realized wisdom. In her words, yoga is "not to be learned and done, but to be explored and realised." For practitioners trained within contemporary frameworks, Indu offers both encouragement and a practical reorientation. She suggests reframing teacher training programs as "student training programs," recognising that sincere, committed practice naturally gives rise to authentic teaching over time. True learning, she argues, occurs not in group classes but in personal sadhana—the private, honest dialogue with oneself. This means observing the breath during a forward fold, noticing which nostril is dominant after practice, and cultivating genuine curiosity rather than mechanically following scripts. As Indu reminds her audience, "The real yoga is found in the heart of the practitioner, and that yoga does not have a language—it speaks in silence."

As a teacher, patent examiner, and workforce development manager, Omi Bell consistently rose to leadership only to encounter institutional resistance to meaningful change. Rather than continue fighting from within, she built Black Girl Ventures in 2016 to address a staggering reality: less than one percent of Black and Brown people access venture capital. Her unique dual background as artist and computer scientist enabled her to see systemic gaps clearly and imagine scalable solutions. Omi's philosophy of diplomatic radicalism offers a counterintuitive path to systemic change: engage opposing viewpoints with genuine curiosity rather than confrontation. During her Congressional testimony on expanding the accredited investor definition, she identified shared values across political divides—both Democrats and Republicans care about financial inclusion. By starting conversations from agreement rather than disagreement, she creates space for dialogue that transforms policy. This approach extends beyond finance into community organizing and neighborhood problem-solving. Ready to invest in your own nervous system regulation and join leaders committed to systemic change?

Some aspects of yoga practice feel more mysterious and opaque than others, which can make them intimidating to teach and practice. For many, Yoga Nidra is one such technique. In this short excerpt from the previous episode, Yoga Nidra: Community Conversations with Caroline Wybar, Caroline shares two perceived Yoga Nidra "rules" that are well worth breaking to open up its benefits to a wider range of students. You can also join Caroline and Dr. Katja Bartsch from March 30 to dive deep into the what, why, and how of Yoga Nidra in their upcoming 20-hour Yoga Nidra Online Teacher Training. — Show Notes: Is Yoga Nidra an ancient practice?

Greetings Glocal Citizens! I met this week's guest, Nana Asomani-Poku in Jamestown, Accra during a walking tour through featuring stories told in images by Glocal Citizen, James Barnor. It was during the James Barnor @‌95 celebration in 2024. Nana, a UK-born Ghanaian legal professional, filmmaker, and community engagement specialist based in Australia was back in Ghana for a family celebration of his own. As we chatted along the route, he mentioned his work centering social impact in Australia and my curiosity was peaked. What you'll learn in this conversation spans how he began his career as a legal advocate for asylum seekers and refugees with the UK's largest not-for-profit immigration law firm to community and stakeholder engagement, building bridges between public sector organisations and marginalised communities in Australia. Alongside his human rights work, he pursued his passion for filmmaking, training at the New York Film Academy and going on to make his first feature film, Drawn. Let's travel with Nana, to get to know more about his land down under and other stops across the globe. Where to find Nana? On IMDB On Instagram What's Nana listening to? Whitney Houston, Al Green, The Jacksons, to name a few. Other topics of interest: Visit Porkyto's in Osu, Accra Correction about the Aquarius sun sign, an air sign not a water sign About Leytonstone and The Bow Bells Lifestyle in Perth vs Melbourne Sokoto, Nigeria Ombudsman Services in Australia About the film, The Dish Yoga Nidra + Sankalpa How many countries are there across the planet?Special Guest: Nana Asomani-Poku.

Embracing your true self is a powerful act of self-love, and we hope this experience will inspire you to carry this energy into the year ahead.Join us as we embark on this transformative journey together.

Full Show Notes: bengreenfieldlife.com/lnraw12 In this episode, I pull back the curtain on one of the single most powerful tools in my daily performance and recovery toolkit: Non-Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR) and its close cousin, Yoga Nidra. If you’ve ever found yourself burning the candle at both ends—waking up at 4:30 AM to fit in work, workouts, and family life—yet still trying to show up at your best, this is for you. I cover common myths around short sleep, explain why even “powered-through” fatigue adds up, and illustrate why most of us can’t cheat biology by running on six hours forever. You’ll get an honest play-by-play: what actually works for rebooting your system after a short night, the real science behind NSDR (think: brainwave states, nervous system regulation, and hormone balancing), and the exact guided meditations, apps, tech (like Sensate, or BrainTap), and routines to supercharge midday recovery.

Yoga Nidra relaxes your body into deep restorative sleep while your mind, like a night-blooming flower, opens to formless awareness. Over the course of these 8 hours, the guiding voice softens into ocean waves, yet remains barely audible to guide you back to sleep should you awaken during the night. Drawn partly from the teachings of Swami Jnaneshvara Bharati, this practice includes a complete body relaxation, 61-point exercise, and ascending breath practice. Yoga Nidra relaxes the body and mind, and unhooks the neuro-conditioning that keeps you stuck. Studies show regular practice alleviates stress, PTSD and improves wellbeing. I wish deep, restorative sleep. Audio engineering and remixing: Eric FischerMusic: Christopher L ClarkeSupport the showHost: Tess CallahanSubstack: Writers at the WellInterview Podcast: Writers at the WellMeditations on Insight TimerMeditations on YouTubeTess's novels: https://tesscallahan.com/Music (unless otherwise noted above): Christopher Lloyd ClarkAudio Editing: Eric Fischer By tapping "like" and "follow" you help others find the show.

Summary In this conversation, Gary Roberts and Ash discuss the profound impact of yoga and alternative healing methods on mental health, particularly for first responders. Ash shares insights on yoga nidra, a deep relaxation practice, and its benefits for stress management and healing. They explore the importance of preparation in healing journeys, the stress response in high-pressure professions, and the spiritual aspects of yoga. Practical advice is given for first responders to incorporate grounding practices into their lives, along with addressing common misconceptions about yoga and meditation.   Takeaways Yoga is often misunderstood as just physical exercise. Yoga nidra is a powerful tool for relaxation and healing. Preparation is crucial for effective healing experiences. The stress response can be detrimental to mental health. Yoga offers a holistic approach to well-being. First responders need grounding practices to manage stress. The yogic path includes ethical and spiritual dimensions.

In this final episode of our January series on The Anatomy of a Breakthrough, we arrive at strategy - not as hustle, force, or rigid self-improvement, but as a creative, embodied collaboration with your own life.Throughout the month, we've explored how real change unfolds when state comes first, story begins to soften, and strategy is allowed to emerge from alignment rather than pressure. In this episode, we bring it all together.Drawing on the wisdom of thinkers, artists, and teachers such as Buckminster Fuller, Vincent van Gogh, James Clear, Tim Ferriss, Shunryū Suzuki, Hugh Laurie, Millard Fuller, and contemporary author Jordan Gruber, Ashley weaves a deeply neurodivergent-affirming exploration of how meaningful change actually takes shape.We'll explore:Why strategy works best when it builds the new rather than fights the oldHow small, sustainable actions quietly create upward spiralsWhy confidence often follows action - not the other way aroundHow embodied knowledge can return when we meet ourselves in the right stateWhat it means to design a strategy that truly fits your nervous systemThe episode closes with a deeply nourishing Yoga Nidra, inviting your nervous system into a state of rest, receptivity, and neuroplasticity - a place where new patterns can gently take root.If you're tired of forcing change, waiting for motivation, or feeling like strategy has to be punishing to be effective, this episode offers a kinder, wiser way forward.✨ You're allowed to edit your life. You're allowed to begin again.

Episode snapshotDebbie Lamond (near London, UK) is a yoga teacher and yoga therapist specializing in support for people living with lymphoedema. After decades of personal practice and training with the British Wheel of Yoga, she blends breathwork, Yoga Nidra, gentle movement, self-care for the lymphatic system, and realistic habit tracking. This conversation feels like tea with a wise friend—practical, hopeful, and grounded in ahiṃsā, svādhyāya, and the steady courage of śraddhā.What we coverDebbie's path: yoga since 1994, why it offered something team sports and fitness didn't—time, calm, and coming home to self.Lymphoedema support, plain language: why movement, hydration, skin care, and compression are foundations—and how yoga fits in.Breath changes the body: how diaphragmatic breathing helps down-shift sympathetic overdrive and, anecdotally, can ease night-time swelling enough to return to sleep.Yoga tools that help: slow rhythmic movement, Yoga Nidra for nervous-system recovery, present-moment awareness to interrupt “what-if” spirals.Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD): “open the drains,” then move—pair with water intake and gentle activity.Ayurvedic lifestyle touches: cooling choices when heat aggravates symptoms, morning light, toxin reduction, and a simple habit tracker.Agency and dignity: building a daily routine you'll actually keep—this isn't a quick-fix pill.Practical takeaways (save/print)Three-minute reset: recline, elevate legs, one hand on belly; inhale gently through the nose, exhale a little longer; ~15–20 breaths. Notice if sensation and anxiety both dial down.Daily rhythm idea:Brief self-MLD (as taught by a qualified therapist).10–20 minutes of gentle yoga or a short walk.Hydrate and quick skin-check.Yoga Nidra or guided rest later in the day if swelling or fatigue rises.Get support: work with a qualified lymphoedema therapist for compression, self-care education, and monitoring.How yoga philosophy frames this workAhiṃsā (non-harm): move/rest in ways that protect tissue and reduce irritation.Svādhyāya (self-study): track patterns—sleep, flares, foods, stressors—without judgment.Īśvara-praṇidhāna (surrender): accept today's reality while practicing skillful effort. Together, these form a sustainable sādhana for long-term conditions.Resources mentionedBritish Wheel of Yoga (for teacher standards and CPD)Lymphoedema Support Network (UK)Manual Lymph Drainage (find a qualified therapist)Yoga Nidra recordings for regulation and restWho this episode is forPeople living with primary or secondary lymphoedema; those post-treatment or post-surgery; clinicians curious about integrating breath and gentle movement; yoga therapists seeking condition-specific insights.About our guestDebbie Lamond is a UK-based yoga teacher and yoga therapist focusing on lymphoedema support.

In this Healthy Waves episode, Avik Chakraborty sits down with Anjuly Rudolph to cut through the noise around yoga. They unpack why yoga is not just poses or flexibility goals, and how the original purpose is mind training, nervous system regulation, and emotional balance. Anjuly breaks down what gets lost in modern “fitness-only” yoga culture, shares beginner-friendly entry points for busy people, and explains why breathwork, grounding, and proper relaxation are non negotiable if you want results that actually stick. Expect practical, at-home micro habits you can run for 7 to 14 days to feel a real shift in stress, sleep, and energy. About the Guest: Anjuly Rudolph is a transformational catalyst blending yoga, hypnosis, energy healing, and coaching. Raised with deep yogic roots in an Indian family, she has carried this work across Uganda, Burundi, Syria, Tunisia, and Germany. She also trains yoga teachers in Germany and focuses on making yoga practical, grounded, and culturally respectful. Key Takeaways: Yoga is a full system for mind and energy, not just stretching or fitness. Asanas are only one small part of yoga. The bigger goal is calming mental fluctuations. A beginner does not need flexibility. Lack of flexibility is often the reason to start gently. Simple joint movements can be a low-barrier daily practice for mobility and stress release. Breath awareness is a fast lever for shifting your nervous system state. Grounding at the start of practice helps you actually “arrive” in your body. Final relaxation matters. Skipping it breaks the system and reduces benefits. Yoga Nidra is not the same as lying down quietly. It is a structured practice. Yoga supports emotional processing even when you cannot clearly name the emotion. A practical 14-day test: 2 minutes of conscious breathing morning and night, plus joint movement before sleep.
