Pranayama, Meditation & Yoga Nidra Audio’s
These three practices are offered freely, for you to return to whenever you need them. Each is complete on its own, and together they follow the natural shape of a practice: pranayama to cleanse and steady the breath, meditation to settle the mind, and Yoga Nidra to rest deeply and come home to yourself.
They are especially supportive if you are living with stress, feeling scattered, sleeping poorly or finding your way through a time of change. Find a quiet space, take a few moments to arrive, and begin wherever feels right for you today…
Pranayama Practice
This 25-minute practice combines 3 rounds of 60 Kapalabhati pumps with retention, and 10 rounds of Anuloma Viloma, to cleanse and energise the mind and body and then still the mind, as a practice alone or in preparation for asanas and meditation.
In preparation for this practice, you can follow the video talk and beginners’ practice HERE.
Daily Meditation Practice
This is a 15-minute meditation, a short, accessible and easy way to encourage a daily practice that will help you to feel more centred, and will expand your sense of time to create greater clarity, helping you to feel more in control of life's demands.
Yoga Nidra: Coming Home to Rest
Yoga Nidra, or “yogic sleep”, is a guided practice of deep relaxation done lying down. While the body rests completely, the mind stays gently awake, moving through the body, the breath and simple images, and settling into a state between waking and sleep. Its rest can be as restorative as much deeper sleep, calming the nervous system and easing stress, scattered thoughts and fatigue.
This 35-minute guided relaxation leads you into deep rest and a return to yourself, a coming home to the quiet, steady centre beneath the busyness of the day. All you need is a warm, quiet space, something soft beneath you and a blanket to cover you.
