This is a yoga nidra style body scan to sooth the nerves. This yog nidra includes a forest bath with a symphony of bird song to further enhance the state of deep relaxation in the central nervous system.
Yoga Nidra is a form of meditation that helps with insomnia, anxiety, stress, adrenal fatigue, ptsd and so much more. This 30 minute scan takes you through the whole body, systematically relaxing every part of your being. If you'd like to learn more about yoga nidra you can also lookup integrative restoration or iRest which is the life's work of one of my teachers, Richard Miller.
In this 30 Minute Yoga Nidra, Ally Boothroyd will guide you through a relaxation and visualization for the element of earth (prithvi), the muladhara (root/base chakra), and vata dosha elevation (wind/air element elevation). A gentle forest visualization will calm, ground and balance vata, sooth anxiety, nourish the anna maya kosha (physical body) and invigorate muladhara chakra.
Yoga Nidra translates as psychic sleep and is a systematic method of inducing physical, mental and emotional relaxation, while maintaining awareness at deeper levels.
As described by sparklingyoga: Yoga Nidra means Yogic Sleep, a state of deep sleep while you remain conscious. It brings an amazing clarity of mind, calmness and stillness. It is one of the deepest forms of meditation leading to supreme quietness and insight. The depth of Yoga Nidra is far beyond just relaxation. During a Yoga Nidra session, you leave your waking state, go through the dreaming state and into deep sleep state, yet remain fully awake.
The word Nidra translates to 'sleep' and is a systematic method of relaxation, inducing physical, mental and emotional relaxation, while maintaining awareness at deeper levels.
There is really no "wrong" way to practice, close your eyes and allow yourself to be guided into deep relaxation.
Yoga Nidra is a state of deep sleep while you remain conscious. During Yoga Nidra you can access many different states of consciousness. You might leave your waking state, go through the dreaming state and into deep sleep state, yet remain fully awake.
Scientific research has demonstrated that restorative power of just one hour of Yoga Nidra is equal to 4 hours of healthy sleep. This is why some people refer to yoga nidra as "bliss for your brain" or "divine sleep" and some translatations of yog nidra include "sleep of the yogi" and "yogic sleep" Tension and anxiety melt away with a profound experience of muscular, mental and emotional relaxation. Yoga Nidra is a state of receptivity and creativity, blissfully rejuvenating and restorative practice that will guide you into inner calm and a state of ease and relaxation.

I'm always so delighted when you post a new nidra, and, as ever, this one is gorgeous. Is the birdsong live or recorded? ♥️🙏♥️
I'm so happy to hear this River, this one is recorded birds! Often times I record outside so I can get the red winged blackbirds here or the howler monkeys in Costa Rica but with the new baby I've been having to record inside so I've been adding background tracks recently :)

10:00 pm. Thank you very much, Ally! Namaste 🙏🏻🌺
Namaste. I have never commented before....but this is wondrous
Thank you so much dear Ally for making these videos. I am dealing with PTSD after almost loosing my life. My massage therapist recommended me yoga nidra to help me balancing my nervous system and find feeling of safety. I can't thank you enough for making these videos. It helped me to feel safe again, gently healing my body mind spirit. I appreciate your gentle approach, your beautiful gentle calming voice and slow tempo of the voice. It helps me to calm down from fight or flight mode. I feel it makes a big difference over time, it adds up the compound affects. I practice just over a week and I feel tremendous difference. Thank you for making your amazing videos. Love your kind and loving energy. Many blessings to you ❤
❤ may you heal soon , become a stronger version of yourself 😊
This is perfect for a sleepy head like me who hates waking up in the morning. I wake up to my alarm, and instead of milling around attempting to wait for my brain to wake up and engage. I just head to my yoga mat, put in my headphones, get my yoga nidra blanket, booster, and eye pillow-and 30mins later I’m awake. Usually it takes me at least an hour and a half to feel like this. Thank you!
May we all be happy, healthy, safe and enjoy inner peace
Somethings shifted today! How glorious.
Dear Ally, thank you. I've only discovered you in the last week or two, and am so grateful I did! My energy has been feeling over stimulated as we're doing so much work on our new home before we can move in - a project I am absolutely Loving - but recognising the need to unwind, to ground myself and let go simply to sleep and remain well! Your beautiful Nidra practices are helping so much. Ps I rarely comment on TH-cam, but had to acknowledge your beautiful work. Your voice is so soothing and has me feeling loved and held as I go with you, now knowing that nothing you say ever 'jars' with me, I feel safe to let go in trust, every time. Thank you, thank you. NAMASTE 🙏💜
I’m using these practices as part of recovery from long covid. I practice 3x a day. I found you as “suggestions” when doing progressive muscle relaxation videos on YT and, as soon as I found you I left PMR behind. I find your videos are the only thing that enable me to deeply relax and switch off. I’m so glad you’ve got such a large back catalogue as I’m working my way through all of the videos.
12:43 pm. Practicing Yoga Nidra on my break.
Each yoga nidra offering a new found favourite. My two doggies and I went into the forest, laid down, took a nap while bathing in the symphony of sounds. Chai and Monty so enjoyed yoga nidra with Ally. I think I heard them snoring. Namaste 🙏☮️💜
Omgoodess, this is TOO cute Joanne. Loved reading this :D
This brought back peaceful feelings of childhood....of just being....before all the heavy responsibility....freedom. Thank you for being an inspiration & helping me get the most out of "naptime". 💗🕯🙏😊
Dearest Ally , I came here straight from waking, in that beautiful limbic state . I’m always curious about practising at different times of the day and first thing is always beneficial in setting the tone to my day . Thank you thank you x
Best morning reset! Love this one 💕 Namaste 🙏
I’m in the throes of moving and deeply craved some grounding practice. I feel far more at peace in this moment. Thank you Ally, Namaste ❤️
Me too Natalie - we've just got our new home and doing *so* much before we move in. Ally's soothing, grounding practice is so helpful, isn't it. Namaste 🙏

I first did this some time ago and I've actually done it quite a number of times. I love the nature sounds. I feel like I have been in a forest after doing this practice. Really deeply rooted into the earth. Thank you.

I loved and need this grounding Ally Boothroyd!
Hi Ally. I loved doing this yoga nidra today! I did it in my garden lying in the warm sun, with a breeze and the nature noises blended with the beautiful nature noises in the recording. I loved it, thank you. Later I went for a walk with my dog and felt really grounded and connected to nature. Namaste 🙏
Thank you, Ally, x

I love the part when you describe the flowers and streams and the wood environment!! I could really visualize all this!
Ally you bless us with allowing a tangible experience of deep relaxation that I believe in but have never felt before. And yes my dog too ! He even lies down on the phone at the sound of your voice. 🙏
Thank you Ally! I feel grounded & at peace. I loved your visualization of becoming a tree laying on the earth.
Namaste. Lovely and restoring 😊!

Beautiful. Thank you. I’ve been coming back to your yoga nidra time and again.
Your voice is so soothing to me and it has been a source of great comfort during these rather difficult times 💜
Thank you for this message Esther, it's brightened my day on a day that I've had some really unpleasant TH-cam trolls on my videos saying pretty nasty things. I'm grateful for your message, especially today
@@SarovaraYoga wow, really? That’s something I truly don’t understand why people think that is ok. Try not to take their unkind thoughts personally. I guess they are in pain and their projections are nothing to do with you. Sending you huge love and respect for everything you give 💜
@@estherking2489 Thank you. It's all the kind souls like you that are the reason I keep going :)
I was thinking about you and wondering how you’re doing? Hopefully you’re feeling a little brighter after your difficult day last week 💜
I extend my deepest gratitude for the loveliest yoga nidra I’ve ever heard. I am recovering from breast cancer, and I so appreciate this healing oasis. Many, many blessings, Maralyn in Virginia 🙏❤️🌞
Loved the connection between earth and the body! late morning practice for feeling great. Namaste
5pm couldn’t resist this one with the birds. I stayed aware for most of it and then drifted off. Now awake I feel great and relaxed! Thanks Ally.
1145 practice 💖 wonderful deep peace and connection. Could feel pulsing energy in root chakra/perineum and aware of nadis crossing/chakras. Felt v safe supported in own love and universal love. Nameste
This is my favourite one yet! So calming even though I've never done a nidra before!
I'm so glad! That's wonderful :)
Thank you my beloved sister for this wonderful relaxing meditation 🧘♀️🙏 namaste 🙏
You are so welcome :) Namaste

Thank you, Ally. This was so beautiful. The nature sounds, particularly the birdsong are deeply soothing and relaxing. It was pure bliss to lie on the forest floor ... I could smell the moss! :-)) xxxx
Love these grounding practices. Thank you.
So so beautiful and such a generous gift. Thank you for contributing to my growth in self compassion and self care. 🙏🏽
Beautiful practice! It helped me fall asleep last night 🥰

My soul and body are fighting a battle and I have such a hard time dealing with the stress and anxiety in my mind. Your words, so gentle, find a way to give me peace. I hope I can overcome this and find the inner healing I so need. Thank you for sharing your gift.
Jennifer, thank you so much for sharing with me. I'm grateful to be able to support you

I also love the bird sounds :)
You are a blessing. Namaste.
Namaste. That was truly great. I feel so relaxed but also energised. Thank you.
You are life Ally❤️
I had a bit of a tension headache before I began, and now I feel much less pressure. Also during the practice today I had some involuntary muscle movement. Once with total awareness and it surprised me, and another time on the edge between conscious and unconscious states, which sort of brought me back to awareness. Refreshing and fascinating!
Namaste ❤
Thank you #Ally
As always your nidras are great. Very soothing voice. Namaste
Thank you, this helps me a lot to restore. 🙏🏼
I'm happy to hear it Nancy!
This is great so helpful for helping me fall asleep after waking up x
