Springtime Dreamtime Yoga Nidra

Springtime Dreamtime Yoga Nidra is a soothing guided practice designed to invite deep relaxation and inner renewal. It begins with a gentle reminder to settle into a comfortable position, allowing the body to rest. We ease into the practice with breath awareness, shifting between externalization and internalization. From there, I guide you through a journey of the physical body, naming points of awareness to promote deep connection. As we move inward, the imagination awakens with springtime-inspired imagery. This practice is perfect for any time you need rest, restoration, and inspiration.

Set yourself up a cozy little nest,

Using any props that you might have.

And with your ears,

Any sounds within the room.

Shifting the awareness now to the breath in the body.

Take a deep breath in.

And a deep breath out.

Reviews

What a perfect, short yoga nidra break! I loved that it included rapid visualization as a lot of the the shorter practices don't.

Great length for when you feel too busy for a longer meditation, too.
