Podcasts about Yoga nidra

Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is stop. If your body feels tense then you can believe you are in danger.  This shows up as anxiety, stress and anger with yourself, people around you and the world and this as you know feels painful and takes its toll on your mind and body.   This 35-minute Yoga Nidra guides you into the deepest rest your body knows how to find — a state where healing happens naturally, where the nervous system exhales, and where the quiet that lives beneath your busy life becomes something you can actually feel. Lie down. Press play. You're already safe." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Me I'm Paul Sheppard, I am Coach who is on a mission to help people break free from overthinking and reconnect with a calmer, clearer and more confident way of being.

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? Explore Omi Bell's transformative work here, where you'll find comprehensive breathwork sessions, Yoga Nidra guidance, and the option to set up individual breathwork sessions tailored to your needs.

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.

Sankalpa er sanskrit og kan oversettes som; et  “frø” du planter dypt nede i bevisstheten. Dette “frøet” er en kort og presis setning som beskriver et viktig perspektiv på livet ditt, et mål, noe som er viktig for deg. Du har et langsiktig perspektiv på beslutningen din, noe som skal skje noen år frem i tid.En annen oversettelse av Sankalpa er; mitt hjertes dypeste lengsel. Det sier noe om å ha hjerte med i denne setningen, at du kroppsliggjør det, at det ikke bare er en mental ting. Kjenn at beslutningen din stemmer for deg.Du kan gjerne bruke tid på å komme frem til hva din beslutning skal være for noe. For noen kommer den spontant, intuitivt og fort, mens andre kan bruke uker, måneder eller år på å finne den riktige beslutningen for seg. Gi den tid. Når du først har tatt en beslutning så er det den du bruker hver gang du praktiserer yoga nidra, med samme ordlyd hver gang.Kort oppsummert om beslutningen i yoga nidra:en kort og presis setning formulert i presens (som om det allerede har skjedd)bruk en positiv ordlyd (unngå bruk av ordet ikke)langsiktig perspektivnår du først har tatt en beslutning; bruk samme beslutning hver ganghold beslutningen din for deg selvNB: Om du enda ikke har en beslutning er det noe du kjenner på, tenker på, i yoga nidra praksisen. Så når instruksjonen ber deg si beslutningen mentalt -da tenker du på hva din personlige beslutning kan være for noe. Du trenger ikke vurdere det eller i hverdagen, finn beslutningen din når du praktiserer. Vil du bli med meg på yogaferie? Jeg har alltid med minst en yoga nidra hver dag på kurs! SWAN, øvelse for selvrefleksjon:Strengs / dine styrkerWeaknesses /dine svakheterAmbitions / ambisjoner eller målNeeds / behovBruk et par minutter på hver av disse og skriv ned. Intensjonen er å bli mer kjent med seg selv og kanskje kunne bruke det til å finne frem til din personlige beslutning.

In deze aflevering ga ik dieper in op de connectie tussen slaap en Yoga Nidra. Waarom noemen we Yoga Nidra eigenlijk een 'op slaap gebaseerde (of geïnspireerde) meditatie'? En helpt het beoefenen van Yoga Nidra ons eigenlijk wel om beter te kunnen slapen, en hoe dan? Zo kun je denken aan de lengte van de Yoga Nidra, de manier waar op deze geleid wordt, en welk moment van de dag je uitkiest voor jouw beoefening.  Ik deel wetenschappelijke onderzoeken en eerlijke data met je, waarin ik belicht wat Yoga Nidra écht teweeg mag brengen in jou, in plaats van wat er allemaal geroepen wordt. Ik leg uit welke stofjes in je hersenen te maken hebben met slapen en wakker zijn, en hoe Yoga Nidra je kan ondersteunen in het aanmaken en reguleren van deze stofjes.  Eigenlijk doe je Yoga Nidra te kort om het alleen te zien als een tool om beter te slapen. Er valt binnen deze methode nog veel meer voor jezelf te ontdekken. Maar: het kan absoluut je ondersteunen in meer rust en een betere slaapkwaliteit. Hoe? Dat leer je in deze aflevering! Benoemd in deze aflevering:  Het boek 'Slaap' van Matthew Walker  De podcast aflevering waarin Matthew Walker wordt geïnterviewd En nog een aflevering, twee jaar later, waarin hij wordt geïnterviewd  De Yoga Nidra's van Kelly Boys op Youtube  - In de serie 'Yoga Nidra: Wat je niet leert in de les' neem ik je mee in de wereld van Yoga Nidra en gaan we de diepte in over thema's zoals het doceren van Yoga Nidra, de Yoga Nidra traditie en het trauma bewust doceren van Yoga Nidra.  Met veel liefde deel ik, Sanne Bogers, vanuit mijn fijne Yogaschool in Breda, de Yoga Nidra Teacher Training 'Een Stevige Basis'.

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.

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. And you're allowed to take one small step at a time.❤️ Support the ShowIf this episode resonated with you:✅ Follow or Subscribe to The Neurodivergent Experience⭐ Leave a quick review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify

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.

We'll move through a slow, systematic relaxation from head to toe, then drift into a gentle “safe floating” visualization—before fading into spacious silence to support deep sleep.A subtle Stoic thread runs underneath: release what cannot be changed, and return to the only place you ever rest—this moment.

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.

NA'ALEH YOGA: Nidra Journeys for Deep Rest+ Close Your Eyes and Stay Awake...   This is an extended Yoga Nidra practice created to support your restfulness on long winter nights.  In the spirit of Hannukah and the month of Kislev, this Yoga Nidra practice gently guides you to relax into the stillness of darkness, where you can find your soul's hidden light. Whether you are struggling insomnia, a busy mind, or simply want to transition to sleep from a state of mindful relaxation, this practice is here to accompany you. An hour of guided relaxation is followed by an hour of ambient delta-wave music to support your descent into safe, restorative sleep.   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 resting on your back or in the posture of your choice. 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 relaxing body scan focusing on each part of your body to shift further into a state of deep healing rest.  Breath Awareness: Deepen your restful state through conscious contact with the energetic layer of your breath.  Experience Polarities: Train your body and mind to contain opposite experiences at the same time Visualization:  Rest in deep awareness experiencing therapeutic guided imagery in the theme of the season Return to Your Intention: Reconnect with the intention you set earlier. Let it sink deeply into your being and encode throughout your body. Externalization: Gently transition back to your ordinary waking state. Reconnect with your surroundings to integrate the practice into your daily life and embrace the essence of this season.  Background Music:  Deep Sleep Induction Pink Noise Delta Waves, by Nature's Eye from Pixabay   Subscribe to Na'aleh Yoga for more meditative Yoga Nidra journeys and transformative experiences.

On today's episode, we're diving into part two of Dr. Mark Costes' keynote from the DSI Mastermind in October 2025. Building on the foundation from part one, Mark takes us deeper into the science of motivation and the brain's role in developing sustained discipline and resilience. He shares how to operate in the "zone of neuroplasticity," where challenge meets growth, and how pushing just outside your comfort zone—without overwhelming your nervous system—leads to real transformation.   With insights from neuroscience, personal stories, and proven strategies, Mark explains how to train your anterior mid-cingulate cortex (AMCC), shift your relationship with discomfort, and build willpower through intentional effort and recovery. Learn how deep work, rest protocols like Yoga Nidra, mindful breathing, and the power of social influence can turn temporary motivation into lifelong grit.
