Yoga Nidra is known as “yogic sleep”. Yoga Nidra is a form of deep relaxation, different from a seated meditation, in which it systematically slows down the brain wave frequencies. It is practised laying down and listening to a detailed and specific script thats created to shift consciousness and brain activity, leading to a healing state on a cellular level.

The practice of stillness actually gives us more time. Use this meditation when you're feeling the overwhelm of a busy schedule or a busy mind.
-
the stillness - cleansing (8 mins)
Sometimes we get so caught up in the mind that the only thing that can bring us back to earth is deep breathing. This is a 3-part inhale into the belly, then ribs and chest - followed by a slow 6-count exhale from the mouth. Feel yourself cleansed in just 7 minutes.

the stillness - be here (12 mins)
A balance of quiet and guidance during this meditation.
