Blessings dear Yoga Nidristas,

I send love and blessings to you from the sunny Stroud Valleys. I do hope that the recent solar eclipse has not caused you too much trouble and strife … and that you can even now take refuge in the power of rest to heal and nourish us through yoga nidrā during even the roughest passages through our lives on this earth … let us welcome this healing and inspirational force into our daily lives … and give thanks for the power of rest!
