Happy darkest days of winter to you!

In celebration of these dark times, when ideally we get more rest, quiet and stillness ( but the reality is often otherwise), I am offering you a small gift of a Yoga Nidra practice for restoration.

This episode is different than most, I talk a little bit in the beginning but the majority of the episode is the actual practice.

Take a moment for yourself in the chaos and drop down into a deeper state of consciousness, giving your body and mind the gift of deep rest. Save the episode to listen to whenever you need that rejuvenation.
