This Yoga Nidra invites you to honour the Celtic festival of Bealtaine, the midpoint between the Spring Equinox and the Summer Solstice, a time to celebrate love and the growth taking place all around us.
Delivered to a small group including a Nidra newbie and a pregnant mother this Nidra draws on almost countless inspirations. The name of the Nidra refers to the multi-sensory evocational portion which is presented as a story about a girl named Sally. The settling has language borrowed from Uma Dinsmore-Tuli, the sensing and evocation draws inspiration from Swami Janakananda, the story is a NLP hypnotic metaphor, and Non-Dual Tantrik philosophy and cosmology informs and inspires the whole practice.
For anyone who's familiar with my research, a 17 minute, trauma-sensitive yoga nidra on dandelions and murmurations, recorded at Lower Shaw Community Farm
Recorded live in class around the time of the Spring Equinox, this practice includes an invitation to experience the breath like a sunrise and a sunset.
This 32 minute Nidra practice explores stillness and silence and is inspired by my time as a middle school substitute teacher. It was recorded by Yogi Jeffrey Balinsky at the HPRC Connection on 01/24/2019.
An invitation to consider the intense vitality and transformation hidden away in moments of apparent stillness - the body at rest, a tree in winter, the pause at the end of the exhale, the darkness just before the dawn.
A 19 minute nidra designed to help you go to sleep, recorded on a warm summers afternoon in New Zealand. This nidra guides you through the process of coming into land at the end of a busy day. A simple Himalayan rotation followed by triangle breathing.
This kids Yoga Nidra was recorded in the afternoon of the one day Yoga Nidra for Kids workshop hosted by Uma Dinsmore-Tuli PhD and Lucy Arnsby-Wilson PhD. This Nidra encourages a balanced breath and incorporates a replay of all that has happened since waking up, like watching your day on a screen.
This is my second ever Nidra - inspired by the autumn leaves falling all around. Resting softly at the foot of our tree of life, allowing the earth to nourish us. With two songs.
