Episode 7 - Rest into Summer with Yoga NidraIn this 19-minute episode, I share with you a little bit about yoga nidra and then I guide you through a yoga nidra practice to rest into summer with the energies of joy, play & creativity.

This practice is best experienced lying down in a safe place. But if you are actively living life, please listen in to witness yoga nidra. This podcast episode was recorded with my rest pup Roxi.
