Maybe you've tried Yoga Nidra and weren't sure you did it right. Maybe you keep meaning to start but don't know where to begin.

This episode is your practical guide. Everything you need to know before you lie down and press play.

I cover how to get comfortable, what to do if you fall asleep, how to handle a busy mind, what to do when you can't feel what the teacher is describing, and why there is no wrong way to do this.

I also walk you through ujjai pranayama, a simple breathing technique to help settle your mind before you begin.
