Yoga & Yoga Nidra
Transformation Through The Medicine of Rest
As a 200-hour Yoga Teacher with advanced certifications in Yoga Nidra and iRest Yoga Nidra (Levels 1 and 2), I guide each session with care, compassion, and deep respect for your individual needs. My approach to yoga is grounded in creating a safe and supportive space for you to truly let go, rest, and heal. Whether in group settings or one-on-one, my sessions are accessible, trauma-informed, and customized to your unique journey. My current yoga focus is on yoga nidra - the medicine of rest.
Yoga Nidra: The Medicine of Rest Discover the Healing Power of Deep Rest
In today’s fast-paced world, rest has become a rare and often overlooked necessity. At Architecture of Wellness, I specialize in the art and healing power of Yoga Nidra, a guided practice of conscious relaxation that nurtures the mind, body, and spirit. Known as "yogic sleep," Yoga Nidra is not about physical movement—it's about finding profound rest, stillness, and healing.
What is Yoga Nidra?
Yoga Nidra is a deeply restorative practice that invites you to enter a state of conscious rest, somewhere between wakefulness and sleep. Through guided meditation, breathwork, and visualization, you’ll experience:
- A release of physical and emotional tension.
- An enhanced ability to manage stress and anxiety.
- A connection to your inner peace and clarity.
Why Yoga Nidra?
I believe that rest is medicine. Yoga Nidra offers a unique opportunity to heal from within by calming the nervous system, cultivating mindfulness, and enhancing self-awareness. It’s a practice suitable for everyone, regardless of age or experience, and is particularly beneficial if you:
- Struggle with stress, insomnia, or burnout.
- Are recovering from emotional or physical challenges.
- Simply long for a moment of deep, restorative peace.
Benefits of Yoga Nidra
- Reduces stress and supports emotional resilience.
- Improves sleep and energy levels.
- Enhances self-awareness and mindfulness.
- Supports healing from trauma and life transitions.
- Deepens your connection to self and inner wisdom.
What to Expect in a Yoga Nidra Session?
During a Yoga Nidra session we can practice as a guided relaxation or a co-meditation dyad.
In a guided yoga nidra session you’ll simply lie down or sit comfortably while I guide you through:
- Settling In: Breathwork and gentle relaxation to help you unwind.
- The Practice: A journey through visualization and mindfulness techniques designed to calm the mind and relax the body.
- Integration: A moment of quiet reflection as you return to the present feeling refreshed and renewed.
No movement or prior experience is required. All you need is a comfortable space to rest and an openness to receive.
In an iRest Co-Meditation Dyad, you’ll engage in a deeply supportive, guided dialogue where I hold space for you to explore your inner experience. The process is gentle, collaborative, and focused on your unique needs:
- Settling In: We begin by creating a safe, grounded space, using breathwork and mindful awareness to help you settle into the present moment.
- The Exploration: Through guided inquiry and compassionate listening, I help you connect somatically with sensations, emotions, and thoughts, allowing space for insights, healing, or integration to arise naturally.
- Integration: We close the session with a moment of quiet reflection, grounding you back into the present so you leave feeling centered, empowered, and renewed.
This process requires no prior experience—just an openness to connect with yourself in a supported, healing environment.
