Welcoming yourself.

In this 30 minute iRest yoga nidra, we explore all the changing phenomena expressed as sensations in the body, breath, feelings and emotions. We then explore what is unchanging and allow ourselves to rest in simply  being.

In this 15 minute mini practice, we will rest and feel the different currents of energy flowing throughout the body. 

In this yoga nidra/breathwork hybrid, you will be encouraged to dive into a relationship with something found in nature,  experiencing it’s wisdom qualities.  We will first rest in our inner resource cultivating a sense of safety with ourselves, then scan the body and practice a shamanic inspired conscious connected breath work to experience the natural world as vibrant and alive. Through this lens, we come to see ourselves as nature.
There are some contraindications for conscious connected breathing. If you have high or low blood pressure, have a history of heart conditions, glaucoma or detached retinas, a history of strokes or aneurisms, schizophrenia, pi-polor disorder, are in the early stages of pregnancy, or have had recent abdominal surgery, please consult your physician before practicing. You can still practice this nidra now though, by practicing coherence breathing instead, breathing through the nose inhaling for the count of 5, exhaling for the count of 5 or just practicing natural breathing with no breath retentions. 
If you experience cramping , tightening, tingling, paralyzing, or numbing in the hands or feet (some call it lobster hands!), the first thing you need to know is THERE IS NOTHING TO FEAR! This is called Tetany and it is temporary and will go away on its own once you return to a natural breath. Tetany is the body's response to changing blood ph levels becoming more alkaline. There are no long term effects.

In this yoga nidra, we will be exploring visualizations of archetypical imagery for deep relaxation and  awakening intuition.

In this 38 minute yoga nidra, we meet ourselves as we are in an exploration of body sensing.

This 20 minute nidra is for anyone who would like the support of an inner resource for grounding and stability. Join me on an inner journey to Pando.

Rest back and explore a felt connection to the earth and the five elements.

Embark on an inner journey to spend time getting reacquainted  with your inner child and then listening for the wisdom of your ancient wise one. What do they have to say to you? What does their presence feel like in our bodies? Then resting back, just being, even as all the different movements in consciousness come and go.

In this 24 minute yoga nidra, we follow the path of the Vagus Nerve, stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system signaling to the body to rest and digest. Enjoy this nervous system reset whenever you need to deeply relax or let go of stress.

This iRest yoga nidra practice was inspired by my study of the ancient wisdom text of Kashmir Shaivism, the Pratyyabhijnahrdayam, or the Recognition of Our Own Heart.  Rest back for 38 minutes in this gentle inquiry of what is consciousness and Who Am I?
