Napp: Yoga Nidrā is an app you download to your phone (iphone or android.)

With a few clicks, you can explore a library of rest and sleep practices for you to use as a sleep aide, nap guide or practice to fill in that random twenty minutes you have between commitments.

Yoga nidra is a practice we take from lying down with our eyes closed. With the recordings, you’ll hear my voice offering suggestions for what to imagine and how to rest your body and engage your mind. 

The practices range in duration from under 10 minutes, to over 20 minutes. You decide how long your deep dive is knowing you’ll emerge rested whether you had 30 or 9 minutes to spend on resting.

Yoga nidra is anadaptogen, meaning you can trust that you’ll get what you need from the practice. Experiences can include: the best sleep of your life; a potent nap; a creative insight; a profound daydream and then some. I’ve organized the recordings by theme: Relaxation; Sleep Support; Creativity Boost or Philosophy Corner. There’s also a section of practices suitable for kids called the Kids Corner. Pick what theme or practice title speaks to you and trust you’ll always get what you need.

Rest is for everyone and every age!

You will see recordings in the Kids Corner section geared specifically for younger practitioners (though I hear from many adults making use of these too.) 

If you self-identify as someone who needs rest, this app is for you.

More specifically, NAPP is for:

The hustler – who works multiple gigs day-to-day and doesn’t have the space for creativity, daydreaming, play and fun.

The caregiver – who attempts to engage in sporadic rest when the opportunity presents itself, often without a huge budget or ability to leave the house for self care.

The artist – who is tapped out of resources that feed their work. 

The student – who was taught that all learning needs to be active and energy intense (pro tip: resting can enhance active memory recall and establish a nervous system that’s open to making novel connections aka learning better.)

The teacher – yoga teachers (and others) who seek inspiration for their classes and a greater connection to the philosophical tradition of yoga.

The on-again-off-again meditator – who has a hard time establishing a practice that works for them. 

The insomniac – who is tapped out of strategies for how to get back to bed.

If you identify with any of these roles, if you identify as a human being - NAPP is for you.

Yoga nidra works best when you prioritize your physical comfort. Find a place where you are happy to lie down for time. We recommend your bed, but a couch works, so does a hammock, so does a well-padded yoga mat. Build an environment that’s peaceful with dimmed lights or none all together. Be open to shifting your body as needed throughout the practice or slide into sublime stillness.

Once your body is easeful, the practice becomes an audio one. Hit ‘play’ and close your eyes. Allow my words to intermingle with your own interpretation of them. Allow my prompts to intermingle with your own nervous system. Allow my poetry to intermingle with the creativity of your heart.

And because yoga nidra can help plant a potent intention, you can curate each practice to what you’re seeking:

The hustler – infusing their day-to-day work life with creative daydreams.

The caregiver – easily accessing a moment of connection and meaningful rest.

The artist – unlocking their connection to a wealth of creative ideas. 

The student – enhancing their learning strategies by tending to their brain.

The teacher – seeking inspiration and connection to something bigger than themselves. 

The insomniac – better understanding why we need rest and employing strategies for settling.

Absolutely! There are several recordings available for free on the NAPP APP. In our experience, one recording can last a while as the experience you derive from it will change day-to-day.
