I'm a 42 year old non-traditional osteopathic medical student, as well as the mother to 5 children ages 4-15. I have not slept well or throughout the night without sleep aides for years, but I cam across Andrew Huberman's YouTube channel and learned about NSDR and how that can help me reset after a 90 minute study session. So yes, I did come across your channel because of NSDR, but I keep coming back to your channel for my nervous system resets 2x a day or more. Doing a yoga nidra is what I keep choosing to do for 15-20 minute break, or like today, a 40 minute break since I just couldn't stay away studying for much longer after a not-so-good night's sleep. Thank you so much for making these available on YouTube for free

I have noticed the prompt “even 1%more comfortable“ helps me so much for some reason.

I am an ex addict and l now turn to yoga nidra with the same drive l used to have for druxs. I finally know l have an unlimited potential and l feel moved by the sensations and emotions arising during the practice.❤❤❤❤

I listen to you every night when I wake up in the middle of the night and find it hard to go back to sleep. Your recording has been a Godsend to me! Thank you 🙏🏼 ❤

I tune in from South Dakota. I am an older woman. Yoga Nidra was recommended by my sleep coach to give me “pockets of pause” during the day. I try to make room for a video whenever I need energy and focus but I’m too run down. I usually am not awake the whole time but I come back to myself at the end and it’s so effective, like drinking from a well. Thank you.

I am a newborn care specialist (so I’m up at night with baby) and your videos have helped me get maximum rest in my short naps

The poetic quote was such an unexpected yet very welcomed beautiful addition

Completly changed my energy.. had a rough morning now I’m looking forward to rest of the day.

[tracieschneider]

This may be your best one yet! Thank you so much for all you are doing, Ally. Finding you has been invaluable to my recovery journey from long covid and has your yoga nidras have changed me in more ways than I can say! Thank you so much! ❤

This was the ultimate Nidra practice for me so far. I shuddered when breathing from the centre of the brain to the crown and felt very emotional. I also sometimes see many faces fading in and out of my mind. I heard once about seeing your ancestors - is this it? Endless thanks, Ally. It’s good to be learning and beginning to understand how your own practice can benefit all the people you love

Stockholm, Sweden Finding you and yoga nidra made a big change. I take small steps forward. One foot at the time. I find some positiv things happening, I more often I sleep thrugh the night. Today after, I just keep beeing, change to music and just be. Gave me a lot. ❤

Hi Ally, recovery from CFS is going well, using your yoga nidra every day. This week i have an unexpected guest: Covid! All the more reason to rest. Thank you for being with me in this. X

[misterv]

I started listening to Ally’s yoga nidra two days ago, and the positive impact is immediate. From someone dealing with anxiety, this is a great blessing.

[peterremke]

I have a serious disease which has giving me sleepless nights. This helps me rest.

[CristinaMonti-wqql]

Wow! After some time without practicing, this YN felt sooo good! I loved the path for the rotation of consciousness and I loved the feeling of movement inside of me with the so hum. It allowed me to stay present in my inner visualisations of energy and light movement, up and down. (Another) one of my favourite practices!!! So inspirational. Thank you Ally! You’re the best! Namaste

[maryannregina]

Had a restless night sleep. At 4:30 AM I did this so I could face my busy day ahead. This balanced me. Thank you so much. May you be blessed for all you do.

[euptfyd]

I have been doing Yoga nidra with you for about 2 month. It really helps my nervous-system to turn on the parasympatic mode. But this recording did more. It made me feel that I was floating inside myself, a really wonderful experience ❤🙏 thank you, Ally, for sharing these recordings. Lots of love from Norway.
