You can work with an existing intention or one of the intentions I offer during the Yoga Nidra practice or, if you have more time, you can create your own using the information presented in one of my videos 👉 https://youtu.be/6XVnvvy7AYc. As well as exploring your Sankalpa, this Yoga Nidra will invite you to use breath awareness and body sensing techniques to help you rest, relax, untangle stress and enrich your life with the profound practice of meditation.
