Yoga Nidra is the only known way to rest the unconscious mind. It is a state of conscious sleep in which a person is both alert and deeply relaxed on a physical, nervous system, mental, and emotional level.

We store trauma in our body, in our unconscious, because it was too uncomfortable and overwhelming to stay present with it at the time. Trauma disconnects us from ourselves and our sense of wholeness.

Yoga nidra can be a practice that brings us back.

January 5th to 9th 2026! Invitation to Deepen in Yoga Nidra

I invite you to join me for all or part of our seven days of practice of yoga nidra. Each day, we'll explore a different practice that prepares our mind and body for yoga nidra. Each day we'll go deeper into the stillness in our heart chakra.

For thousands of years, meditation masters have used the methods of sleepless sleep (Yoga Nidra) to learn the secrets of the Self, to discover depths of sciences and arts, and to rejuvenate and heal themselves.

This is for you if shavasana is your favorite part of yoga class, if you are tired and want an effective rejuvenation practice, and if you want to relax and access deep stillness in your mind.

Our consciousness during yoga nidra functions at a deep level which increases the capacity of the mind. In this state, we improve our power of focus, connect with our higher Self, and increase well being. It becomes easier to access our intuition to make decisions, find answers to philosophical questions, learn, and to maintain a positive state of mind. Reducing stress through yoga nidra supports and improves physical and mental health.

In yoga nidra, we reach delta waves of deep non-REM sleep while simultaneously remaining fully conscious. We discover how to get the deep rest we need each day while reducing our need for sleep. The quality of rest we experience in yoga nidra is completely different from ordinary sleep.
