Welcome to yoga Nidra.

Go into the Shavasana.

Make sure your phone is off and let your body sink into the floor beneath you.

Get comfortable.

Maybe just rock your head from side to side.

That's great.

Everything is okay.

Nowhere to go and nothing to do.

Just hearing my voice and relax your body.

Just let yourself flow with this process and be sure that the deep part of you,

The core of your self is always listening.

So try to stay aware but if you fall asleep it's also okay.

Whatever you will experience today this practice will still work and will give you healing and will restore your energy.

There is no way to do this wrong way so just relax.

You are in safe environment.

You are in protected space.

I want you just to come back to the feelings of your breath flowing in and out of your nostrils.

Notice the relaxation in your body.

Do not open your eyes yet but just hear the surrounding of the space you are in.

And just lie quietly until you feel ready to move and just start really really slowly by moving slowly and calmly your hands and your toes.

Take all your time.

There is no hurry.

And when you are ready,

Wherever you are ready,

Just open your beautiful eyes and gently roll over to your right side.

Stay there for a few moments.

You have all the time you need.

And when you will be ready,

Just use your hands to press yourself up from the floor and just let your head come up last.

The practice of Yoganidra is now complete.

Just feeling free,

Feeling relaxed,

Feeling phenomenal.

Be proud of yourself.

This was relaxing and gentle. Nicely paced too. Thank you 🙏

Very relaxing and peaceful . …it’s just what I needed.
Thank you!
Namaste🦋

Very relaxing and restful. I loved the words you said to picture in our minds.

Love this yoga nidra. There’s something so delightful charming and sweet about the presentation. Like a piece of folk art. Thank you

Beautiful and deeply relaxing. It feels like I’ve had a big, warm cuddle.

This was my favorite yoga Indra so far. I feel the body levitate and come back and become whole and centered. Thank you

I did this first thing in the morning at 6:15. I liked repeating through the parts several times in the body scan. I drifted off to sleep by the end and got an extra half hour doze. Very relaxing. There was a spark of insight, not clear or fully formed. But important. I trust it will be revealed in time.

I love this yoga nidra and the sound of Olga’s voice-so caring.

Great for an afternoon reset. Thank you and Blessings 🕊🌻🦋

Thank you 🙏 excellent pace. Warm and caring voice.

Fantastic - Olga’s voice is lovely (I sense a very soothing South American accent 🤔). In the crazy risj of the last work week of the year it was much appreciated and needed. Aums
