Sunrise Yoga Nidra (Voice Only)

This Yoga Nidra was designed to help you start out a new day feeling more grounded, calm, and present. It starts with settling in and then a breathing technique to help relax your nervous system. Then you will be guided through how to come up with your sankalpa, your heart’s intention, for your practice, then led through a rotation of consciousness throughout your body, starting with your mouth.

Examples of sankalpas that can be used for this practice: “I am well-rested and excited for the day ahead” or “I am listening and open to messages that the universe has to offer today.” After the rotation of consciousness, you will be guided into sensing opposite sensations (rigid/soft), then guided through a rotation of images, then pure awareness, and then repeating your sankalpa 3 more times.

At the conclusion, you will be guided into gently coming back to the present moment.
