[wayneevans]

You are the Muhammad Ali of yoga Nidra! The GOAT!

[davidbellddsmd]

❤ Thank you for spreading love and kindness to a world that at times, seems dominated by insensitivity and callousness

[tanyachartier]

I have been doing yoga nidra for a few years and your verbal guidance is like gentle waters clearing my body of stress and tension. I am so grateful for all you do. Thank you for this elongated body scan. It was exactly what I needed today. I think it will be one of my most frequently returned-to longer yoga nidra videos.

[katemikkelsen]

Ally, I've been practicing with you for 4 years now. At first, I needed to sleep and your videos helped me through the night. I never could have imagined all the gifts yoga nidra would bring into my life. One of the gifts is being able to return to dancing and exercise. I'm practicing today after going to the gym and running for the first time in over a year! It feels amazing to have this level of energy back 🎉 I definitely value this time to rest and restore! Beautiful practice ❤

[cyndip]

This body scan meditation was truly AMAZING!! I only slept 2 hours last night and I decided to do this meditation this monrning to relax my body so that I could sleep. Not only did I fall into a deep sleep, I went into another state of consciousness that I recalled with clear specificity when I came out of it. THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!! I'll definitely be back for more.

[teresaluna]

Today you guided me to todays healing. I don’t even know what that means. My heart is full. My hips released powerful energy that I don’t need. Again I am shooting form the hip and just wanted to express my gratitude for sharing your gift. I really want to live today.

[lbkp]

Dear Ally, Thank you does not begin to describe my gratitude for your Yoga Nidra recordings. You are a key factor in my re-learning how to rest, restore, rejuvenate, and ultimately recover from long covid. Your voice and guidance is comforting, instructive, and just incredibly helpful on all fronts. I am moved to wish you and your little family Happy Holidays. Thank you again. Looking forward to your 2024 offerings! Namaste.

[emmacross]

I'm so pleased you released a longer body scan meditation, I really enjoy the longer exploration. The only trouble is, despite your intention, I've fallen asleep each time I've done it so have yet to make it all the way through! I've been practising Yoga Nidra for a few years now and yours are one of a few teachers I always return to - your voice is so soft, gentle, warm, and soothing - thank you

[durdicamaderic]

This is the most powerful of all of your meditations. It is so healing and I find myself leaning into this more and more.
Thank you⭐⭐⭐🙏

[suzannealvin]

I have been following you since I found you during Covid. Very often it is only your voice that can guide me to sleep. I appreciate all your work. Many blessings

[frankfirdinan]

Dear Ally, I’m grateful and indebted to you. I’ve practice with for a few years now and have had many spiritual moments during your YN. I’m on a support team on a winter endurance race working long winter nights for 7 days. I decided I would I would use YN to aid my rest. It’s all I’ve used for 3 days with only 3.5hrs of YN rest. I’ve tried to sleep but can’t. I practiced this on today and my experience was beyond profound. As I woke out of my deep rest and became conscious I breakdown and wept uncontrollably like a baby. They weren’t tears of sadness though. The only way I can find to describe it was like being reborn or like I’d woken up in some else body. It’s been a little confusing to say the least. I asked my daughter to read my tarot and the card the presented itself was the 14 of temperance. You a dear to me Ally love and peace 🙏💕

[rosezaz]

I so appreciate you, Ally and your work. I am a novice, but this was particularly beautifully resonant for me. Your contribution is greatly appreciated. I can honestly say as a 76 year old woman who’s been on the path of Dharma fulfillment, Christ consciousness atonement while in full embodiment, and presently with multiple areas of human challenge you have literally contributed so much to my life and deepen my commitment to stay around longer as we all move through these dimensional transitions. Thank you so so much. Blessings to us all. ❤

[cags]

Update... 😄...I practiced this morning shortly before heading off for my hydrotherapy session. I'm sure I was able to stretch more deeply and do the difficult exercises more easily than usual. Also not exhausted afterwards as I usually am. I'm adding this to my favourite list to continue with my healing. Thank you Ally, a beautiful yoga nidra ❤😊

[mariavanh]

First time really “feeling” it. At about 45 minutes in, I felt a huge wave release (unfurl?)from my ears down to my toes. And then a few more smaller waves. The strangest sensation, but wonderful at the same time. Thank you for your amazing guidance, this was a Nidra experience like no other. 😘 1:05:29

[tomcrawley]

Thank you, dear, for following your way and helping me and others in such a wonderful way

[jCait]

Ally, thank you so much. This is the first time I've done this longer version, and so happy I found it. How beautiful of you to do these recordings and reach out to us in all parts of this seemingly chaotic world that we might find inner peace and calmness. Bless you. 🙏❤

[Clairedunwoody]

Thank you so much Ally. I had a weird night’s sleep. Woke up way too early and thought, ‘I know what I’ll do!’ Got some much needed deep sleep and feel rested and restored. Thank you again. It’s amazing to have your guidance in my life ❤🙏

[JennyGriffin]

Thank you, Ally! This was fabulous. I loved the deeper exploration of each area, and the slower pace. 🙏

[Beingme_]

Thank you, Ally. This lengthy practice was something I have been really hoping for. I love your videos and the longer they are, the more I have to stay with it and resist the mind and the restlessness. I felt into more fully this time and chose it at the time of the full moon. I felt the sensations that prevent me from relaxing fully and allowed them to be present rather than resisting them. You are a wonderful teacher and a blessing to us. Thank you 🙏
