Video Yoga + Nidra_12: Forest Journey for Deep Rest (1hour 16mins)

Description

Somatic Yoga + Yoga Nidra Video:
Forest Journey for Deep Rest

Immerse yourself in a deeply soothing Somatic Yoga and Yoga Nidra practice designed to help you soften, unwind, and be gently held in rest.

Beginning lying down, you’ll be guided through slow, mindful movements to release tension from the neck, shoulders, spine, and hips. Each movement is simple and unhurried, inviting the body to settle, the breath to ease, and the nervous system to quiet – without effort or strain.

From this grounded, supported place, you’ll drift into a richly guided Yoga Nidra, taking you on a tranquil journey through a pine forest – moss underfoot, birdsong above, and soft light filtering through the trees. This immersive landscape offers a sense of safety, spaciousness, and quiet joy, allowing the mind to soften and the body to rest deeply.

.

This class lasts almost an hour and sixteen 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.
