Intro to Yoga Nidra for Deep Rest

Ever heard of Yoga Nidra and wondered what it’s all about?Maybe you’re curious but unsure if it’s for you. Or perhaps you’ve never heard of it — but the words deep rest sound like exactly what you need.This soothing 60-minute session is your invitation to experience the power of Yoga Nidra — a guided meditation that allows the body to fully relax while the mind floats in a peaceful, healing state between waking and sleep. No movement, no experience required — just stillness, calm, and the gentle presence of sound and voice.What is Yoga Nidra?Often called yogic sleep, Yoga Nidra is not a movement-based practice. You’ll lie down comfortably, be guided through a calming journey with the voice, and invited to rest deeply — supported by a soft atmosphere and a warm, welcoming space.How does it work?According to Ally Boothroyd, during Yoga Nidra the brain transitions from active beta waves to more relaxed alpha and theta, and even delta waves — the same state we enter in deep, restorative sleep. These shifts support meditation, emotional healing, and nervous system repair.Who is it for?– Anyone feeling stressed, burnt out, or overwhelmed– People struggling to switch off, rest, or sleep deeply– Those seeking gentle emotional healing or nervous system support– Or anyone simply curious about this beautiful practiceHow you might feel after:– Deeply rested, like you’ve had a full night’s sleep– Calmer and more grounded– Emotionally lighter and mentally clearer Love Yoga Leeds Friday 22nd August 6:30pm – 7:30pm Just £10
