NA'ALEH YOGA: Yoga Nidra Journeys for Deep Rest

Close Your Eyes and Stay Awake...

In this episode we sit down with Anastasia Ribas — a certified somatic coach, yoga therapist, and embodiment educator — to explore how slowing down and listening to the body supports nervous system regulation, trauma recovery, and deep rest. Anastasia shares her personal journey from chronic pain to somatic healing and explains how somatic practices can move people out of survival patterns like shutdown, people‑pleasing, and dissociation towards regulation and increased feelings of safety.

This is a warm, practical conversation that blends science and somatic wisdom, ideal for anyone struggling with sleep, anxiety, chronic stress, or disconnection who wants concrete practices for coming back to presence, safety, and embodied regulation. Enjoy!
