A note on Yoga Nidra
At the heart of my work is a practice called Yoga Nidra, an ancient yogic practice originating in India that guides the body into deep rest while the mind remains gently aware.
I’ve been practising and teaching Yoga Nidra for over 20 years, and it has been one of the most profound and reliable tools in my own life. As well as being deeply restorative for relaxation and nervous system regulation, it has also helped me move beyond limitations held in the subconscious mind — gently bringing awareness to patterns and beliefs that can quietly shape how we live.
What I love most about Yoga Nidra is how simple and accessible it is. It can be practised anywhere, at any time, by anyone. There is no need for flexibility, strength, or previous experience — you simply lie down, get comfortable, and allow yourself to be guided. That is why it has become my favourite form of yoga: because it is truly for everyone.
While Yoga Nidra can be practised in many ways, there is something uniquely powerful about receiving it live. The quality of the spoken guidance — the pacing, tone, and presence of the voice — becomes part of the experience itself, helping the nervous system soften more deeply into trust and rest. Over the years, I’ve come to understand that my voice itself is part of how I hold this work — creating a space where people can soften, receive, and rest deeply.
Often described as “yogic sleep,” Yoga Nidra brings you into a state between waking and sleeping where deep restoration can happen. In that state, the body is able to soften out of stress, release held tension, and enter the kind of rest where repair and healing naturally begin.
People come to Yoga Nidra for many different reasons — to reduce stress and anxiety, improve sleep, restore depleted energy, find emotional balance, or simply create space to pause in an overfull life. Again and again, I see how this practice helps people reconnect with themselves in a deeply nourishing way.
There is nothing to achieve in Yoga Nidra. It is an invitation to rest, to receive, and to trust that profound change can happen in stillness.
