I see you – you’re the woman carrying everything.
You wake up feeling anxious or mentally exhausted before the day has begun.
You’re carrying everyone and everything, and your brain doesn’t seem to know how to switch off. There are endless lists and thoughts whirling around in your head, especially when you finally try to rest.
You are told to ‘let go’ and you have a deep need to, but you haven’t got a clue how.
Yoga Nidra is a guided practice for deep rest that can help calm an overwhelmed nervous system, reduce stress and support better sleep.
… this is where Night Time Nidra begins.
Yoga Nidra, often referred to as Non-Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR), is a guided practice designed to move you out of the busyness of everyday life and into a state of deep physical and mental rest.
Unlike traditional meditation, there’s no need to sit still, empty your mind or stop your thoughts. Simply lie down, get comfortable and allow yourself to be guided.
Research suggests Yoga Nidra may help reduce stress and anxiety, support emotional wellbeing, improve sleep and encourage deep relaxation.
My trauma-informed approach combines breath awareness, body-based practices and traditional Nidra techniques, with choice and autonomy at the heart of every practice.
No previous experience is needed. There is no right or wrong way to do it, and you don’t need to know how to switch your brain off.
All that’s needed is somewhere comfortable to lie down and a willingness to receive.
NIGHT TIME NIDRA
There comes a point when dipping in and out of the odd Yoga Nidra or free meditation no longer has the same impact.
This is why I created Night Time Nidra…
Once a month, we meet live on a Sunday evening at 8:30pm for 30 minutes of deeply restorative Yoga Nidra.
Then, for the rest of the month, you have access to the recording to return to whenever you need it… whether that’s every day, once a week, or when you feel you need to stop and rest.
One live practice each month, with the freedom to return to it as often as you need in your own time.
Over time you’ll notice that your body begins to recognise the practice. You may find that you settle more quickly, your mind becomes less busy and rest starts to feel more accessible.
It is a beautiful thing.

In the words of my clients…
Amazing. Lucy, your voice and words are a balm, and you have such a talent for this. Especially the imagery and how you develop it. Thank you from me and the missus for helping us through a very stressful time. We can’t wait for your next series!

Just finished listening to it. I loved the safety aspect of this one. The soft blanket and feeling of warmth. So cosy and relaxing. Just what I needed today.

Thank you so much for this series, Lucy. I’ve enjoyed it very much and benefitted from the moments of pause and rest. The final Nidra was beautiful and I will definitely find a moment to listen to it again over the holidays…
