Yoga Nidra: Deep Rest

Instructor: Doraine

Style: Yoga Nidra / Restorative Meditation

Level: All levels

Props: Optional blanket, bolster, or pillow for comfort

Length: 30 minute

Class Description:

This guided Yoga Nidra practice invites you into a liminal space between wakefulness and sleep—a place where deep rest, inner clarity, and subtle awareness unfold. Doraine gently leads you through a systematic meditation that includes body scanning, intention setting (Sankalpa), breath awareness, and visualization. Designed to help you release physical tension and mental chatter, this practice offers a profound opportunity to soften, restore, and reconnect with your essential self.

You’ll Explore:

  • A supported, reclined position for optimal stillness

  • Gentle breathwork and somatic grounding

  • Full-body rotation of awareness to calm the nervous system

  • Opposites of sensation and guided imagery to expand inner spaciousness

  • A final integration of lightness, heaviness, and effortless presence

Whether you remain fully awake or drift into sleep, this practice is an invitation to surrender into being. All you need to do is lie down, listen, and receive.
