Yoga Nidra For Stress & Anxiety

This is a great practice for anyone who's feeling overworked, overburdened, stressed, or on the rollercoaster of busyness/exhaustion.

Bring awareness down from an over-active mind back into the body, balance your energies, and connect with the grounding element of earth and structure.

Begin with a yoga asana practice rooted in the lower chakras. For example, a seated sequence of neck stretches, shoulder rolls, forward bends, twists, and side bends. Makarasana (crocodile pose) is also very grounding, including the restorative yoga version.

Prepare or finish with a few minutes of Bhu Mudra or Prithvi Mudra for connection to the elemental energy of the earth.

This track includes a Sanskrit Shanti Mantra that translates into "may prosperity be unto all, may peace be unto all, may fullness be unto all, may auspiciousness be unto all."
