Morning Yoga Nidra

Awaken your body and mind with a gentle Yoga Nidra meditation, a practice of deep relaxation and mindful awareness to set a peaceful and purposeful tone for the day.

Find a quiet, comfortable space to lie down, preferably on a yoga mat or a soft surface. Close your eyes and take a deep breath in, feeling your body settle into stillness. As you exhale, release any lingering tension or restlessness from the night.

Gently bring your awareness to your breath, allowing it to flow naturally. With each inhale, invite in fresh energy, and with each exhale, let go of anything that no longer serves you. Scan your body from head to toe, releasing any tightness or fatigue, surrendering fully to relaxation.

Transcript

Please begin by finding a comfortable position lying flat on your back with your arms gently resting at your side. Allow your feet to fall naturally apart and close your eyes softly and take a deep breath in. Feeling your belly rise and exhale slowly letting go of any tension. As you settle into stillness take a moment to tune into your body. Notice any sensations you may be feeling. The gentle pressure of the ground beneath you. The warmth of your breath. The rhythm of your heart. With each inhale invite in peace and with each exhale release any lingering tension. Now let's begin to cultivate tranquility. Visualize a warm golden light surrounding your body. With each breath in imagine this light filling you with serenity and calm. As you exhale feel it radiate from you spreading peace to the space around you. Breathe in peace and breathe out stress. Shift your awareness to the top of your head. Notice any sensations here. And as you breathe relax this area. Allow the relaxation to flow down through your forehead. Your eyes. Your cheeks. And your jaw. Let your face soften with each breath. Now bring your attention to your neck and shoulders. With each inhale invite in ease. And with each exhale let go of any tightness. Feel your shoulders drop away from your ears. Creating space for tranquility. Continue this journey of awareness down your arms. Through your elbows. Wrists. And feel them getting heavier more relaxed. Each breath guides you deeper into a state of calm. Shift your focus to your chest and belly. Feel your breath moving in and out. The gentle rise and fall. With every inhale cultivate gratitude for this moment. For your body. For the gift of a new day. With every exhale release any negative thoughts or worries. Now draw your awareness down to your hips. And knees. Feel the weight of your legs sinking into the ground. Allow any tension to dissolve. Creating a sense of lightness and freedom. Bring your focus to your lower legs. And ankles. Let your feet become heavy and relaxed. Release any tension. Letting a deep sense of ease settle in. As you feel supported by the ground beneath you. Now take a moment to scan your entire body from head to toe. Recognize any areas that still hold tension. And consciously invite relaxation into those spaces. Imagine a wave of relaxation washing over you. Surrounding you in comfort and peace. Gently bring your awareness back to your breath. Feel the life force within you. The power of your breath. Inhale deeply. And as you exhale. Express gratitude for this moment of stillness. For the peace you have cultivated. And for the beautiful day ahead. When you feel ready. Gently begin to wiggle your fingers. And toes. Bringing awareness back to your physical body. As you slowly open your eyes. Take a moment to notice the light around you. Carry this sense of tranquility and gratitude with you throughout your day. Take one last deep breath in. And as you exhale. Smile softly. Knowing you are ready to embrace the day with an open heart. And a peaceful mind.
