This is a yoga nidra I recorded live at the New Years 2015 'Rustic Retreats' holiday in Southern Spain! It includes exploration of opposite feelings and visualizations  inspired by the local environment. I hope you enjoy! 

Southen Spain Yoga Nidra

This 10 min guided awareness practice can be used yourself or as a technique for teaching.
It can be used before or after asana practice as well as being a stand alone practice. In classes when teaching asanas you could use a shorter version (3-5 min)as time may be limited. You can easily make an extended version for a meditation/mindfulness focused class. Many people arriving at a class after a busy day with many external inputs will find it difficult to bring their focus inwards. This guided practice helps those people - as well as everyone else :-) to prepare themselves for the inward journey. It fits with the yogic principles of Svadhyayat or self study as it helps you to connect and observe sounds, breath, emotions and the fluctuation of the mind.

10 min Shiva Yoga Peeth Self Awareness Practice

Here is a 35 minute Yoga Nidra I recorded live at Shiva Yoga Peeth on Diwali 2015. It is complete with sounds of fireworks and devotional music from the temple next door.  It uses rotation of consciousness, breath awareness, exploration of opposites and images. Yoga Nidra is usually used with a Sankalpa or Yogic Intention. 

All you need to do to complete this practice is lie down comfortably in Shavasana (corpse pose), cover yourself and make sure you are not disturbed. Then just relax and follow my voice.

Yoga Nidra Shiva Yoga Peeth

This is a wonderfully relaxing 3-Part Yogic Breath leading into Viloma (interrupted breath). 

It is preformed in Supta Baddha Konasana (reclined bound angle pose) with a bolster supporting the upper body, and something under the knees. However, if this position is uncomfortable it can be done in Shavasana(corpse pose). 

'Vi' means against, Loma means hair, therefore viloma means against the natural flow of the breath. In it you pause briefly during your breath. This practice helps to expand the breath and increase lung capacity. It can help release anxiety and stress, and also helpful with PMS, and sleeplessness.

Remember with any pranayama always work within your limits and never force the breath. If you feel like you are not getting enough breath just return to a nice natural breath. 

Viloma 3 Part Yogic Breath

This is a relaxing version of a chakra healing practice known as Chakra Shuddhi where an imaginary light is used to bring awareness to the chakra.

It combines guided voice with singing bowls and is best done lying down in a comfortable position (Sharvasana)

Spring Garden Nidra

This is a guided relaxation with the intention of promoting healing. It was recorded live at my weekly meditation group. It was recorded with a few people in mind but it is good for anyone who needs physical or mental healing.
