What if the best way to begin the year is by not forcing a beginning at all? We open the door to a different January—one that honors the threshold between what was and what’s still becoming. Instead of chasing clarity, we invite presence, deep rest, and the kind of listening that reveals what’s quietly unfolding beneath the surface.

With warmth and steadiness, Lizzy guides you into a 30‑minute Yoga Nidra designed for winter: get comfortable, settle your body, and choose an intention not as a fix or a goal, but as a way of being. Through simple cues and gentle awareness, you’ll enter a state of conscious rest where the body sleeps and the mind remains softly awake.

The heart of the experience is a vivid winter visualization—dark, fertile soil beneath you, silent snowfall above, and a sense of being fully held. This imagery reframes stillness as capacity, not emptiness. By attuning to the earth’s quiet potential, you loosen the grip of urgency and reconnect with the deeper pacing of your own life. We close with a caring return to wakefulness, repeating your intention and inviting small movements that help you carry this calm into the rest of your day.

If you’ve felt behind, pressured, or unsure how to start, let this be your reset: you’re right on time. Press play to rest with us, begin the year with presence rather than pressure, and let clarity arrive when it’s ready. If this practice supports you, subscribe, share with a friend who needs a pause, and leave a review to help others find their way to rest.

Listener Reflection
Rest has a way of revealing what effort cannot. After this Yoga Nidra, notice what surfaced — sensations, emotions, or quiet insights. What would it feel like to trust that clarity is unfolding in its own time?
