Somatic Yoga + Yoga Nidra Video:
From Movement to Stillness : For Deep Rest & Sleep

A deeply calming evening practice combining gentle somatic yoga with a spacious, guided Yoga Nidra to help you release tension, reset your nervous system, and prepare for restful sleep.

We begin standing, exploring slow, fluid shifts of weight and easy spirals to soften the body, unwind the spine, and ease habitual holding patterns.  There’s no pressure to perform or achieve a shape; instead, you’ll be invited to move curiously, at your own pace, discovering where your body wants to release and how it naturally finds support.

As the practice gradually transitions to the floor, the pace slows further, preparing you for a deeply restorative Yoga Nidra. This is offered in an open, non-prescriptive way, allowing you to follow your own inner experience rather than a fixed script – ideal if you find it hard to switch off or settle.

Perfect for evenings, this practice supports a shift out of stress and into a state of deep rest, ease, and quiet awareness – helping you feel grounded, nourished, and ready for sleep

.

This class lasts almost an hour and twenty minutes. We’ll spend the first part exploring gentle somatic yoga movements. This will help enhance our awareness, calm our bodies and minds, and guide us inward, getting us ready for the beautiful yoga nidra experience.
