What is Yoga nidra?

Yoga nidra means yogic sleep, and that is what it is!

In yoga nidra we enter a state of deep relaxation, one that mimics sleep while we remain awake. Unmoving and supported by the ground, the body releases stress through the breath. Yoga nidra combined with asana (posture) practice, is a powerful way to restore equilibrium to the mindbody.

(Take yoga nidra home, and bolster your immune system by practicing for 5 minutes when you wake up and before you fall asleep.)

Om.

"“Residency is designed to be rigorous and in my exhaustion it was so difficult for my nervous system to calm down. Vanessa brought me into a place of ease that I had forgotten was accessible to me.”

Ofelia Lopez Aranda, Sustainable Investor, Los Angeles

“This is the first time I tried something like this. Vanessa adapted the exercise to my level of experience and it felt really comfortable and enjoyable. I was amazed at how I could focus on slowing down and quieting things inside and around me, and by how easily the journaling session flowed. It made me realize just how important and impactful the process could be in daily life.”
