Yoga Nidra
Conscious Deep Rest Practice
A guided pathway into deep, nervous-system-led rest
Yoga Nidra is woven gently into my work whenever a parent, child, or family system needs a deeper moment of exhale.
Yoga Nidra is a guided, restful practice that allows the nervous system to settle, the mind to soften, and the body to release the layers of tension that make sleep — and life — feel harder than it needs to be.
I offer Yoga Nidra as an integrated part of:
• Sleep support
• Massage and bodywork
• Postnatal recovery
• Parent capacity support
• Emotional regulation work
Because sometimes the body needs more than understanding —
it needs to feel what safety is again.
What Yoga Nidra actually is
Yoga Nidra is often called “yogic sleep,”
but it’s really a structured, guided rest practice that helps the whole system drop out of fight-or-flight and into deep parasympathetic calm.
It creates a state where:
• the breath slows
• the muscles release
• the mind becomes quiet
• the emotional load softens
• the body feels held, not pressured
It’s not meditation in the traditional sense.
It’s gentler, more accessible, and designed for tired, overwhelmed humans who need rest more than techniques.
Why I Use It:
Parents tell me all the time:
“I don’t remember the last time I truly relaxed.”
When your system hasn’t rested in years, everything becomes harder — sleep, patience, decision-making, connection, even holding boundaries.
Yoga Nidra gives you:
• a sense of calm you can feel in your body
• a reset for an overstimulated nervous system
• emotional spaciousness
• a way to reconnect to yourself
• rest that doesn’t require effort
For parents whose children struggle with sleep, this matters.
Your regulation becomes their regulation.
This practice helps you reclaim the capacity you need to support your child — without depletion.
How it integrates with sleep support
During sleep work, Yoga Nidra may be used to:
• help you regulate before making changes
• soothe anxiety around bedtime or night waking
• model the very state we want your child to access
• support parents in high-sensitivity or high-stress seasons
• bring your system into the safety required for clear, grounded decisions
A regulated parent creates a regulated environment.
Nidra is one pathway back to that grounded centre.
How it integrates with massage + bodywork:
Yoga Nidra deepens hands-on treatments by allowing your:
• breath to slow
• muscles to soften
• system to drop into deeper rest
• mind to fully let go
Some sessions begin or end with Nidra depending on what your body needs most.
It creates a therapeutic container that magnifies the benefits of the bodywork itself.
