Discover Yoga Nidra: Subtle Bodies

This is a lightly edited recording of a live practice. It includes time to settle at the start and suggestions for movement at the end of the practice. The practice followed a talk about the Pancha Maya Koshas, sometimes called the 5 Layers of the Self or the Subtle Bodies. These koshas include the physical body, prana & breath, mental/emotional body, witness consciousness or wise body, and the bliss body. Techniques used in this session: sankalpa, self-observation, awareness of breath, body scan, and visualization. This recording includes guidance to return from rest, so it is best suited to a morning or afternoon practice. If you practice in the evening, it may interfere with your ability to fall asleep at your regular bedtime. Gather pillows, a blanket, and any other props for comfort. I hope you enjoy this time to reconnect with your body and rest!
