YOGA NIDRA

If you are feeling wired but tired, Yoga Nidra fosters the rest necessary to sustain high-level performance and emotional clarity. It is a powerful practice that helps you learn to reclaim your attention and redirect it toward what matters most to you. 

Yoga Nidra is a systematic process for reaching deep rest while the mind remains alert. This practice allows the system to reach a calm state without active effort. 

Yoga Nidra is practiced in a completely supported position—either lying down, in a reclined position, or seated. You can use blankets, bolsters, cushions, and pillows to foster a sense of ease and deep comfort. Your eyes can be closed, or remain open, which is a trauma-informed option. 

Yoga Nidra is a wellness practice that can be highly effective for trauma and stress. Trauma-informed Yoga Nidra uses modifications and language that keep you within your comfort zone. Practiced over time, Yoga Nidra will help you learn to relax into yourself, without feeling overwhelmed or losing focus. 

When used in an integrative therapy approach to treating trauma, dissociation, and compulsive and addictive behaviors, Yoga Nidra restores your connection to yourself. It interrupts cycle of stress and distraction through a deep internal reset. This process helps you move away from repetitive habits and return to a clear, steady sense of self. 

Synergy with Trauma Therapy

Using Yoga Nidra with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) or Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps you maintain awareness and equilibrium. This integrative approach supports a steady internal environment, allowing you to more easily process difficult material without feeling overwhelmed or shut down. Adding Yoga Nidra to trauma and addiction recovery allows for more effective therapeutic results.  

Yoga Nidra acts as a powerful accelerant for EMDR and IFS, providing the physiological rest and grounding needed to integrate deep psychological work without overwhelm.
