Yoga Nidra Power Nap. Today’s 20 minute Yoga Nidra is designed for when you need to restore a sleep deficit. You might have awoken and need a wee bit more time to rest and restore, intentionally, or you might need a wee pick up me up mid-afternoon.

This voice only Yoga Nidra is designed to soothe, restore and reset your entire nervous system. Ailsa will guide you through intention, an inner resource practice, body sensing and breathwork. Get cosy, and let yourself be guided by Ailsa's soothing voice to a state of deep rest and relaxation. Ailsa's voice is female with a soft Scottish accent and there is no music accompanying the meditation.Relax back into this 20 minute Yoga Nidra with Ailsa to support and calm the nervous system. This Yoga Nidra guided meditation is designed to utilise the systematic relaxation techniques used in Yoga Nidra to bring you into the parasympathetic division of the nervous system known as 'rest and digest'. Yoga Nidra is a technique of guided meditation that is completely effortless and accessible to all. Simply find a comfortable place to rest, relax back and just listen. The techniques used here will bring you into a deep light altered state of consciousness where you land somewhere between wakefulness and sleeping. It is here where one can disconnect from the thinking mind and rest back into a sense of your true nature. As the body undergoes healing and returns to homeostasis, emerge feeling grounded, rested, and more balanced. Yoga Nidra is a form of guided meditation practised lying down that leads you into a healing and deeply restful state. Yoga Nidra has been shown to be effective in scientific trials for conditions including chronic pain, sleep problems, depression and anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD); while increasing health, resiliency and well-being.
