Learn the power of deep, purposeful rest.
Nidra is the passive practice of entering into a brain state just above sleep. Nidra is proven to restore lost sleep and support brain health. It facilitates change within us at the deepest levels.
Sleep is a critical aspect of health. Yoga nidra is a movement-free practice that supports mind-body health with just 20 to 30 minutes of practice.
Yoga nidra offers us the opportunity to:
- Teach the mind-body system to fall asleep more easily
- Improve sleep quality
- Create change in emotional patterns through brain plasticity created by deep relaxation
- Improve capacity for learning
- Improve blood flow to the brain
- Reduce fatigue and replace lost sleep
- Reduce reactivity in our emotional and relational lives
- Foster more of what we need in our thinking and feeling

Testimonials
Why I teach yoga nidra
During my personal stress resilience training with coach Emily Hightower at Shift, I began practicing yoga nidra occasionally as an experiment to see how it sat with me. Over the months I realised how well it compensated for the occasional lack of sleep. As time went by and I practiced more and more, I realised many common neurological symptoms I experienced of perimenopause had also disappeared. This included dizziness, brain fog and fatigue. I found that my clarity of thought was greater than it had ever been and I find that if I stop nidra, I lose some of this ground I have gained. I now practice almost daily and consider nidra to be one of the most powerful techniques for emotional and physical health.
Nidra is a beautiful practice based in both ancient yogic traditions and in modern science, particularly neuroscience.
I have trained in nidra through My Vinyasa Practice and my work with it is informed by Emily’s NeuroNidra method. I write my own scripts and each online session is unique.
Nidra is your opportunity to create deep restoration in mind & body.
