Ally there is no way to thank you enough for all you do! I tuned in this morning to find a yoga nidra that would help settle my racing and judging mind and found this brand new one and it couldn’t have been more perfect! Your yoga nidras have been a major part of my healing journey the past three years as I deal with long covid, dysautonomia, and past trauma. You have made a major difference in my quality of life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤️

You are a poet. I adore your healing incantations. Every time I return, I am moved to try to express how impressed I am by your words. I do think of it as poetry. One of your Gratitude Nidras I would take to a desert island. Thank you for your service.

[BRYAN]

Ally you're a beautiful mentor and teacher.

So glad to be part of your training and the amazing community.

Infinite peace,
Bryan.

Thank you for this wonderful opportunity for my peace and joy. At this moment I am thinking of my disabled son Ryan who is dying as I type this. He is in the hospital and I will be visiting with him today. I pray for him always and forever be in my thoughts and prayers. Life is tough right now and I need your yoga practice to help me get through the next days. Love for Ryan and myself❤

[diekitschigeloewin]

Wow wow wow! This one is beyond everything I've ever experienced! The way you're using your voice, the words and affirmations you're saying, the very very gentle background sound, I am absolutely astonished. Your guidance has helped me over the last year to really make huge improvements on my journey to healing from severe burn out/chronic fatigue/complex ptsd, I can't thank you enough. Hope I'm able to carve out some time within the next few years to attend one of your teachings, id be truly blessed and honoured. Until then, I will continue focusing on being the best one-parent household I can possibly be for my precious daughter as well as healing my own little gigantic almost no longer broken heart. Danke, as I'd say in my native language. ❤ May you be forever blessed, supported and protected.

What a wonderful practice. You’re with me more than anyone else in my Life Ally! I listen to your voice for at least an hour every day!!!

This nidra popped up on my phone just as I was getting ready to find one for my morning practice - 40 minutes also happens to be my preferred length. I'm going through an extremely stressful time at the moment. Sending my attention to the buzzing 🐝 bee breath, buzzing along with you and doing it for 10 breaths, felt like a relief, immersing myself into it, being able to put the worrying off to the side for a bit. The following nidra felt like a safe space, an island of letting go. Thank you so much, Ally, for tirelessly providing these refuges for us. 💜☮️🔆

[pixieprixi]

Thank you Ally 🙏 I was super dysregulated before this session today, and very grateful to have clicked this video. It was what I needed. So glad to be a part of the YNTT

[PaulineBro]

The first part certainly helped to stop my mind jumping around. The ending with deep breaths helps to wake my body up from its relaxed state. Thank you.

[Leonmeep]

one of, y new favourite videos. the humming was incredible. thank you so much <3

[paulavanginkel]

Thank you so much!
I was dealing with an extremely restless mind today as I'm recovering from ME/CVS, a breakup and overwhelm from all kind of executive tasks that came raining down on me today. Now after this session with you I feel calm and at ease. Marvelous. Many thanks
And all the best for you, many blessings 🪷🩷🙏🩷🪷

[Emmatronzz]

I think I have used nearly every single recording you have on here and this is one of my favourites ever! I loved the practice at the start. Thank you as always ❤

[CecileAYHAN]

Thanks a lot for this moment of peace and rest. It is a sanctuary for me.

[JamesJonesSMH]

Hey you. Yes you. Random person that I will never meet. I truly hope you will find happiness on life. Today is going to be a great day!😊

[_suse_]

Coming back again to say this is my daily practice for the foreseeable future. I forgot all about the bee breath and it feels fantastic. Thanks so much, Ally ❤

[KelleyHuse]

Ally, you have become my daily companion and guide as I am journeying with long Covid. You are so lovely and talented. You are clearly inspired from within and I couldn’t be more grateful to have found you when I needed your guidance. I’ve been doing a handful of previous practices and just tried this one for the first time today - I’m totally rewarded for my venture into newness. This is now joining the other favorites. A million thanks and kudos.

[JennyGriffin]

Thank you so much, Ally! I loooove brahmari pranayama 😊 I could hum all day like a happy bee. I found the breathing in through the feet very aligning, almost like a recalibration of energy channels. Thank you for pouring so much care and attention into your offerings 🙏💖

[tulsaroubal]

Vou are simply the BEST! What an amazing practice and teaching me a new and wonderful breathing technique. I will be going back to this practice again and again.
Peace.

[phoenixgirl]
