Nidra Offerings
Restorative Yoga & Nidra
Come, rest deeply and gently. Experience a sense of peace and relaxation, a feeling of being fully supported and held in comfort and ease, a welcoming back to a place steeped with wisdom...the space within.
Restorative Yoga:
Every pose is done lying down and fully supported with blankets and pillows or yoga props. These long held postures are a passive way to relax, renew, reduce stress and quiet your body and mind.
Yoga Nidra:
Also known as yogic sleep, nidra is a guided meditation done lying down. It releases tension physically, mentally and emotionally and is a deeply restful practice. Nidra can help cultivate new belief patterns, help release what no longer serves you, it is inspiring and allows you to explore the many parts of yourself.
Mini Sessions to Reduce Stress in Peri-Post Menopause

Stress Reduction When You Have No Time
May 3rd 11-11:30pm MST
Online
Stress and hormones are deeply connected and when we can learn to manage our stress better, we will notice a shift in our hormonal symptoms.
It’s hard to find time during this busy season, so we will focus on some short, effective techniques that have a big impact…3 breathing techniques and a restorative pose with pillows and blankets.
Yoga Nidra: Who Am I?
Saturday, June 7th at 12-12:45 pm MST
Online
For many of us, we spend years focused on others, pouring our energy and time into them. It isn’t until around menopause that many women talk of a shift in that focus. A greater desire for self care, reflection, exploration of dreams and desires begins to emerge.
I will share a lovely meditation of calling your name, calling all parts of yourself, from past to present, into awareness. We will watch them all become one as you see yourself now, the culmination of all the parts. Then we will ask what excites, grounds and brings peaceful within, we will tap into a deep desire of what the heart truly wants and plant that seed to nourish and grow as it should.
Private Individual or Group Nidra

Nidra Trainings
Whether you are looking to deepen your own practice or teach this to others, there is something for you here.
Join Anne Douglas, George McFaul and myself as we guide you through a 50 hour immersion over the course of 2 weekends in 2 months.
You can continue on to get certified with an additional 50 hours, with us, after you have completed the immersion.
The certification program will run a few months after the module ends.
This is part of a 200 or 300 hour Meditation Teacher Training run through YogaMcc. Our module can be taken as part of the training or it can stand alone.
LEARN MORE
"The YNTT was a beautiful integrative experience that enabled me to deepen my understanding of Yoga Nidra practice, to explore pathways through key elements of the practice, and to develop my own voice and creativity in offering Yoga Nidra as guided meditation practice. As I learned to share this tradition with others, every aspect of my own yoga practice was enriched: breath sensing, body sensing, drawing upon inner resources, visualization and more. Each of the instructors were seasoned masters -- the depth of their pooled experience was inspiring. I highly recommend this course to other seekers!"

Nidra Recordings
Nidra Jazz Album:
3 Recordings
Anne, George and I run a Yoga Nidra Immersion and Certification together and at the end of a certification, we came up with this fun improvisation using all of our voices in the final practice. It was such an incredible experience that we got together and did a professional recording of 3 nidras.
We each take lead in one while the others offer back up support through voice and sound.
I hope you enjoy!
This one is not included with the free gift when you sign up for my newsletter, but the individual recordings that I've done on my own, below, are.
