Appointment Length
0 hour 60 minutes
Service Description
Do you struggle to fall asleep, wake up throughout the night, or feel wired but exhausted when you lay down? Yoga Nidra is a powerful guided meditation practice designed to help your body deeply relax and your nervous system reset. Unlike regular sleep, this practice takes you into a state of conscious rest where your body and mind can release stress, tension, and racing thoughts. This session supports improved sleep quality, emotional balance, and a greater sense of calm, making it ideal for anyone experiencing insomnia, anxiety, or chronic stress.
Who this service is for
This guided rest practice is designed for:
- Adults experiencing insomnia or frequent night wakings
- Veterans, service members, and caregivers managing high stress or hypervigilance
- Women navigating perimenopause or menopause and struggling with sleep disturbances
- Anyone with trauma-related sleep issues or nervous system dysregulation
- Professionals dealing with burnout, overwhelm, or racing thoughts at night
Who will benefit
You may benefit most from Yoga Nidra if you are:
- Experiencing anxiety-related symptoms like a racing heart, shallow breathing, or panic at bedtime
- Dealing with chronic fatigue, adrenal exhaustion, or energy crashes during the day
- Living with chronic pain, back pain, or conditions like fibromyalgia, where restorative rest is hard to achieve
- Struggling with emotional regulation, mood swings, or irritability connected to poor sleep
- Seeking a non-medication approach to calming the nervous system and improving sleep
Benefits of this service
With consistent practice, clients often notice:
- Falling asleep faster and staying asleep longer
- Deeper, more restorative rest that improves next-day energy
- Calmer mind with fewer racing thoughts at bedtime
- Reduced anxiety, stress, and irritability
- Nervous system reset that supports overall healing and resilience
- Support for chronic pain management through deep physical relaxation
What to expect
In each session, you’ll be guided through a structured process of body awareness, breath connection, and visualization while lying down comfortably. This practice allows your mind to shift out of “fight-or-flight” and into “rest-and-digest,” creating the conditions for deep healing rest. All you need is a quiet space, a mat or bed, and an openness to being guided into stillness.
Why choose this service
This approach combines trauma-informed care with evidence-based relaxation techniques, making it especially supportive for those who find traditional meditation or sleep techniques difficult. The focus is on nervous system regulation, not just relaxation—helping you address the root causes of sleeplessness such as anxiety, hypervigilance, or stress overload. Each session is designed to help you feel safe, supported, and deeply restored.
