NA'ALEH YOGA: Nidra Journeys for Deep Rest+

Close Your Eyes and Stay Awake...

This ancestral healing Yoga Nidra practice is created in the spirit of the month of Shevat on the Jewish calendar. This is a time for hidden growth and drawing strength from roots beneath the surface, as the trees prepare to bloom in the spring. Designed for emotional healing and spiritual connection, this deep trauma-informed Yoga Nidra journey guides you to explore your ancestral roots, heal generational wounds, and restore balance within. In this practice, you’ll connect with the wisdom and energy of your ancestors, while inviting healing and nourishment to flow through your body and soul.

Settle in comfortably with a blanket or pillow and prepare to dive deep into somatic experiences that bring clarity, peace, and healing.
