Hey it's Doug.

Welcome to this quick Yoga Nidra session.

For this session I want you to find the most comfortable position you can.

This session is all about relaxation.

Get yourself cozy,

Get yourself warm.

Right,

Now that you're all settled,

Bring the eyes to close and start breathing in and out through the nostrils.

Each inhale is going to bring awareness to the body and each exhale is going to bring relaxation to the body.

Let's do that now.

Deep inhale together,

Filling yourself with awareness,

Noticing what's just going on in your body and then exhale breathing out,

Letting the body totally relax.

Give me permission to the mind to relax too.

On your next inhale I want you to imagine breathing into the top of your head.

Become aware of how the top of your head feels.

Then as you exhale,

Relax the top of your head.

Inhale into every part of your neck.

Exhale,

Let your neck relax.

Inhale into your shoulders.

Exhale,

Relax the shoulders.

Inhale,

Bring awareness into all your fingers.

Exhale,

Relax all your fingers.

Inhale into your belly.

Let it rise.

Exhale,

Let the belly fall and with it any tension that resides here.

Inhale awareness into your bum.

As you exhale,

Relax.

Inhale,

Bring awareness into your thighs.

As you exhale,

Let these strong big muscles relax.

Inhale into your shins.

Exhale,

Relax your shins completely.

Inhale into your calves.

Exhale,

Relax your calves completely.

Inhale awareness into all of your legs and exhale,

Relax all of your legs.

Inhale,

Bring awareness into your feet completely.

Exhale,

Let those feet totally relax.

Inhale awareness into all of your lower body.

Exhale,

Relax all of your lower body.

Inhale,

Bring awareness into all of your upper body.

As you exhale,

Relax all of your upper body.

Inhale into your head once again and exhale,

Relax that head.

Into all of your being.

As you exhale,

Let all of your being relax.

Thanks so much for joining me.

Namaste.
