Experience Profound Rest with Yoga Nidra | Healing Sleep Series

Join me, Ayla Nova, on a restful journey through the practice of Yoga Nidra; together, we dive into the depths of stillness and peace for a deep restorative sleep. Drawing from the wisdom of Lao Tzu, we're reminded that a quiet mind unveils the universe's secrets, offering a path to deep rest and self-discovery. As you lay down, align your body and turn your attention inward to anchor you in the present. This session explores the inner self, a guided journey through the body that encourages every part to unwind. Through this practice, we connect with our Sankalpa-our innermost intentions and desires-integrating them into our being. This experience is an invitation to encounter the tranquillity within, leading to profound relaxation and a renewed sense of awareness.

Thank you for being here.

"To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders." - Lao Tzu

My darling husband of 50 years is in ICU for brain surgery. I thank you for this beautiful yoga Nidra blessing you gave me at 3am. Hari Om Tat sat. 🙏🙏💚

I’m always so happy when I see you’ve uploaded, Ayla. Thank you so much for sharing your healing gifts with the world. When life gets hard I turn to your videos. When life is flowing beautifully I turn to your videos too. Yoga Nidra has become part of my daily healing routine, and you are the best guide into my inner world. This is a life changing practice. Blessings and gratitude to you.

Morning practice right after waking up. Now I have enough energy and a positive, calm mood has settled within me to start my day. Sending you a grateful hug 🔆💜

[fernandolspptagr]

Today, along this practice, I realised that we feared stability, not because stability in itself, but for losing the stability. However, to sense flow brought serenity to ourselves. And now I am thinking that these two opposites, stability and flow (I never thought of them as opposites, till today), are somehow connected with those Buddhist notions of permanence and impermanence where thanks to the last life exist. Thank you for this beautiful and inspiring yoga Nidra.

Thank you Ayla, you are the best, helping me through menopause ❤️

[sbab]

Thank you so much for this Ayla. I've been having a rough week dealing with anxiety, insomnia and chronic pain. This is just what I needed today! ☺️🌻🙏

[laurathomas-marlow]

Thank you Ayla! Beautiful synchronicity I was wishing you would make a new sleep one. I was asleep from this for awhile till my 21 year old woke me up being loud. Namaste!

[lauramicks]

Grateful granny loves healing yoga nidra all caregiving responsibility can become overwhelming nidra saved me!

[jasonb]

It's weird, but I could not sense a difference between stability and flow. I just had a very strong almost overwhelming sense of peace. I have had a very challenging few days with some of the children I work with yet what came through for me here was that everything is the way it is meant to be.
Everything is ok.
Thank you, as always ❤

[mettebergnielsen]

Thank you very much for this and all the others. I fall asleep to your voice every night and use your episodes during the day to relax and calm down when needed ❤

[tarahoit]

Thank you for taking me between my stability and flow states. Both feel so good. Anxiety has been gripping me this week. Standing on the edge of the desert with you, I felt calm even though my mind wanted me to consider the dangers of the desert at night.

The healing sleep series continues 😀 😴 🌖

[andreadeans]
