Let me know how you feel at the end of this practice compared to the beginning of your practice today!

[johnnyblues]

Since practicing with your videos I don’t feel the internal pressure I once did. You have helped me heal the hurt inside myself.

[johnnyconley]

Ally, thank you. I don't have to take Xanax/ Alprazolam to go to sleep anymore.
You put me to sleep, Ally.
You "R THEE BEST.."

[LIONHEARTE]

I started feeling anxious, stressed wondering what to do next. My caffeine stimulants starting to taper off, then, I did this for 30 minutes I feel calm, centered and less anxious. These videos have brought some peace to a troubled soul. Thank you.

[peteryates]

Before: agitated and a little grumpy. After: peaceful and inspired. Ally, you are endlessly creative with your guidance. Thank you for yet another wonderful experience.

[siskijo]

I am dealing with a lot of depression and anxiety from changes at work and in relationships. Between prayer and using your yoga nidra meditations, I am able to find moments of peace and rest for my soul. Grateful for the wonderful, life-changing work you do.

[juliettekars]

This is so beautiful Ally, thank you for making these recordings available to so many people and for taking me on a peaceful journey.

[eva-w]

Was overcome by fatigue earlier and rather upset feeling about it. I'm feeling more rested and awake now, the feeling of exhaustion is gone. And my mood is brightened. 💛 Thank you, Ally, for your unique gentle guidance and valuable support. I deeply appreciate you. 💜

When I was a kindergartener we took naps after lunch. This feels like rest of a child in a trusted teacher's room. Namaste.

[mairinkelly-may]

Tu Allly I 3 days post op and your yoga nidra sessions have helped enormously . Namaste

[pumerspirit]

I hope you are well Ally, my heart always lights up when you post a new Nidra. You will always be my medicine 🤍

just done a few days to a week, nsdr/yoga nidra every day. found out thru the common route of Huberman's podcast. it is both as simple and powerful as touted, something quite rare. meditation usually takes a while, is supposed to be very gradual, and is not often easy or accessible esp to a complete beginner. yoga nidra couldnt be simpler, and the effects are instantaneous, powerful, and often last in some ways through the day. besides being more well rested i am less anxious, more aware, keep better states longer & easier, less reactive, better attention span, naturally perform or are inclined to less addictive or spiralling behaviours, naturally find it easier to do work or tasks or chores...the list goes on. it is remarkable to find something which does exactly what it is touted and so incredibly accessibly. thank you for this.

[marazobrist]

After being asked to call the presence down to heart center I felt my jaw relax and I hadn’t even realized it was so tight. I know that doesn’t sound like much but it felt like a huge relief to me in that moment.

[elizabethwebster]

Before this yoga Nidra I was overcome with grief after receiving the news yesterday that a friend and colleague had committed suicide x🙏🏻x

[jorgec]

I did this practice at the end of a night of intermittent sleep and relaxation. At the beginning of the practice I was starting to give in to negative thoughts. I found the section on breathing into my heart very helpful. I chose to breathe in peace. At the end of the meditation I felt a deep sense of peace. This enabled me to enter my day on a more calm and positive way. My intention for today is to keep this sense of peace and calm throughout the day and it's challenges. Thank you Ally.

[CourtneyDrobick]

This video is magic. I could not settle my mind or body down for anything earlier, I even tried two other videos and got agitated and turned them off.
It took me a bit to get in, but the me of half an hour ago and the me right now? Are very different people and I am so very grateful that I found this channel during a very hard time in my life - it is continuing to serve me well ❤️
You are amazing, ally, and thank you for doing what you do.

[jolandabargeman]

Having long covid since august 2022, I discovered your videos about two months ago 😊 My nervous system and I are very thankful and happy 🙏😄🌻
My body remembers how to relax.
Thank you so much, Ally ❤❤
