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.
Each recording is roughly 10 minutes in duration and includes the following reminders:
1) You don’t need to listen to everything I say.
2) There will be times where you don’t hear my voice and it’s quiet. I’m still here, but I’m giving you some space to daydream.
3) This practice can help your body and your mind to settle and relax. You could use this recording to fall asleep, or to take a break when you feel like you need it.
The practices offered are for kids aged six and older.

For kids: Get yourself comfortable. Brush your teeth, put on your favourite pajamas and climb into bed. Dim the lights or turn them off all together.
For parents: I recommend you rest with your kiddo while listening to a recording for the first time. It can be helpful to remind your child that the point of nidra is to relax and fall asleep. This means they don’t need to hear every word I say.
The recordings are best used as a sleep aide, but if your kiddo loves them, they can listen any time of day.

“Our youngest really struggled with sleep. Some nights he would come down to complain about being unable to sleep for up to an hour after bedtime. The first night he listened to his nidra recording, he didn’t come down once. It has become a part of his nighttime routine and usually helps him to get to sleep without incident.”
