Yoga Nidra & Beyond | Ayla Nova

Yoga Nidra for Sleep, Grief & Anxiety | NSDR to calm insomnia, racing thoughts, and a broken heart.

This 52-minute Yoga Nidra is for insomnia, for waking in the dark and not settling back down, and for the stress and dread that hits before you're even out of bed. It's for grief... a breakup, a divorce, losing someone you loved... and for the anxiety that won't let go. Guided by Ayla Nova, this Non-Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR) practice moves through breath, body, and heart to calm your nervous system and guide you back toward rest.

This is a space to soothe the heart and quiet the mind. Calm has two doors: sometimes you return through one small action, sometimes by letting things unfold in their own time. You only need to rest... the door will show itself.

If this practice carries you back to sleep, that's the deepest wish behind it.
