A few tips to make your Yoga Nidra even more magical…
For this practice, you will need:
- a quiet, comfortable place where you can lie down and won’t be disturbed. You don’t have to be on your yoga mat, you could be in bed, on the sofa or the floor.
- Make sure you have plenty of blankets and pillows to make yourself comfortable. If you have an eye pillow or eye mask, you can use this too!
What to expect:
- Yoga Nidra (translation: Yogic Sleep) is like an extended Savasana (relaxation) at the end of the Yoga Class. I will guide you through the practice with my voice.
- Try not to have any expectations of how you are going to feel during and after this practice. Sometimes, we can expect a quick fix and be disappointed when it doesn’t happen. Remember that every experience is valid and something we can learn from.
- There is NO SUCH THING AS FAILURE in Yoga Nidra. Even if you have found it hard to switch off, as many do at the start, this is perfectly normal, so try not to worry to much if this happens to you.
- Sometimes, you might fall asleep. This is OKAY! You will wake up when your body is ready to. Although the purpose of Yoga Nidra is not to go to sleep, some people find the practice useful in helping them to fall asleep.
- Sometimes you can lose track of my voice when you’re in the Nidra. This is normal too! You’re welcome to gently come back to the sound of my voice, or just keep it there in the background, like an anchor.
- If you want to come out of the Yoga Nidra practice at any time, all you need to do is move your hands and feet, and open your eyes and you will come out of the state.
If you have any questions during the practice, it’s best to stay muted for the comfort of the other students, but I will be available after the live practice for any questions, or you can email me at studio@franandayoga.com.
Looking forward to our practice together!
