MORE:

Yoga Nidra is both a state of consciousness and a guided meditation that uses a systematic method of techniques for inducing complete physical, mental, and emotional relaxation and deep rest.

Yoga Nidra is a great tool for therapists because you can guide your clients into a deep state of effortless meditation. Yoga Nidra meditation techniques are designed to untangle and reduce stress and anxiety and calm the nerves over time.

You can even create deeper relaxation states for your clients and states of innate healing. (Rest and Digest and Healing Mode)

Ally, I am a licensed clinical psychologist who has been practicing for over 20 years. I regularly assign your videos to my clients. I also use them myself daily. You are helping people build restorative infrastructure; systems that act as a counterbalance to the poisonous paradigms of modern life. I appreciate you and all you do!

Hi Ally, I am a big fan of your work. I cannot express how helpful it has been for me, and I keep recommending your channel to so many of my friends and family! Also, I can imagine how much effort goes into making them with the scripts, music and structure! Much Much gratitude to you and your team!

Thank you so much Ally 🙏🏻🤗🤍 This was very helpful. I am a therapist and coach for women in recovery from eating disorders and I implement yoga nidra in each of my session. It’s been life changing for many of them. And also helped them progress faster.

Namaste from France ✨

Thank you for sharing! I believe the fact that yoga nidra/NSDR is being verified by EEG brain scans gives it so much potential for being offered not only in private practice counseling settings but also in community service boards and other public mental health agencies where the practices can reach people in need who may not have had access to it otherwise. So many heartfelt possibilities here…

Ally - this is the most calming and informational video on yoga Nidra! Thank you for sharing your experience so freely and can't wait to learn more from you!

I really think working in mainstream schools would be incredible. Staff are often under extreme stress which also gets passed on to students and they end up in vicious circle of sharing heightened emotions in a negative way. I would love to speak with someone on how a whole school could take on a basic approach and see how this can develop with in a whole school.

Thankyou Ally, I agree I think that Yoga Nidra can be so helpful for people who are receiving medical care, such a transforming practice, giving autonomy to persons inner strength and capacities for inner confidence ❤

The practice of psychology is regulated in North America and elsewhere. As such, Psychologists would consult scientific literature to determine whether a particular practice has been tested for efficacy for mental health conditions. If Psychologists are offering yoga nidra in their sessions, then they have been certified to do so and have evaluated the costs and benefits of a practice for their client. As a Psychologist, I am not aware of any efficacy studies, but I will look. I do recommend yoga nidra to clients as a relaxation tool, including Ally's videos, as there are many available products on the market and clients often consider yoga when they have difficulty relaxing.
