There are times when life overwhelms our capacity to cope—grief, uncertainty, chronic stress, burnout, world events or deep transition. During these seasons, rest doesn’t always come easily, and the nervous system can feel stuck in survival mode.
Unwind is a 7-week Yoga Nidra series designed to support you through difficult times with gentleness, structure, and steadiness.
This is not about forced positivity or fixing. This is about creating the conditions for deep rest, emotional resilience, and inner stability—one layer at a time.
Each week focuses on a core step of the Yoga Nidra practice, gradually building your capacity to rest, feel, and respond to life with more clarity and ease.
Week 1 — The Nest & the Senses
We begin by creating safety and comfort. Through sensory awareness and intentional rest, the nervous system receives clear signals that it is safe to soften.
Week 2 — The Rotation of Consciousness
A guided body awareness practice will help release stored tension, quiet mental loops, and restore a sense of wholeness.
Week 3 — Breath Awareness
The breath becomes a gentle anchor, supporting emotional regulation, presence, and steadiness without effort or control.
Week 4 — Pairing of Opposites: Feelings & Emotions
Rather than avoiding difficult emotions, we learn to hold them safely—building tolerance, balance, and resilience.
Week 5 — Pairing of Opposites: Beliefs
We explore the mental narratives that often harden during challenging times, allowing space for flexibility, compassion, and perspective.
Week 6 — The Long Visualization
A deeply restorative guided journey that supports subconscious processing, integration, and renewal.
Week 7 — The Full Practice with Sankalpa
All elements come together, and you are guided to connect with a sankalpa—a steady inner intention to carry with you beyond the practice.
This series is ideal for anyone moving through a difficult season who wants support that is calm, compassionate, and deeply restorative.
As a courtesy, we record our live classes and aim to provide the recording within 7 days, with access available for 1 week.

"The YNTT was a beautiful integrative experience that enabled me to deepen my understanding of Yoga Nidra practice, to explore pathways through key elements of the practice, and to develop my own voice and creativity in offering Yoga Nidra as guided meditation practice. As I learned to share this tradition with others, every aspect of my own yoga practice was enriched: breath sensing, body sensing, drawing upon inner resources, visualization and more. Each of the instructors were seasoned masters -- the depth of their pooled experience was inspiring. I highly recommend this course to other seekers!"
