YOGA NIDRA
Practice yoga nidra with me! Yoga huh? Yoga *knee-drAH*
Maybe you know, but basically, it's laying down and getting real cozy and listening to my voice navigate you from one visual to another. (I'll explain more when you press play). But seriously, get comfortable and maybe before you do that, prepare yourself in whatever manner (go on a walk, get water, etc.) to be in a meditative state for about 20 minutes.
This practice is c a l m i n g and grounding. And you might even fall asleep. I definitely have before. Maybe don't do it before a long work day; probably do it after.
More of the history of yoga nidra: This form and technique is more modern, and we can attribute it to Dennis Boyes + Satyananda Saraswati. Thank you, thank you to yoga's storytellers and spread.

personalized lessons thoughtfully designed to create a buildable, consistent yoga practice for your body and mind
You are made unique, in all of your brilliance and shadow. And you deserve to be seen as you are: a human with story and shape and soul, there in the layers. Yoga illuminates. When we dedicate ourselves to the practice, our experience of everything expands. All that story and shape gets clarified, and it becomes easier to access the soul and the cells that vibrate with vitality. Present now, our minds are still. With ease now, we can hear the gentle truth. As a yoga teacher, it is my intention to share with you the tools that yoga provides so that you may cultivate an awareness so rich within you that you don't need me to teach you anymore because your inner wisdom will do that for you.
Private instruction will deepen your connection to the practice and to yourself because it is designed uniquely for you. Whatever your goals, I am here to help you shake up thought patterns and stagnant tension, to soften, to strengthen, to get to the root, to expand into new spaces and to deconstruct yoga so that yoga and you can meet on level ground, exactly where you are, as you are.

and now, a brain game.
A simple and straightforward method to incorporate meditation into your daily life:
At least some of the time,
Balance there in discipline and being,
In productivity and play.
Do the discipline first. Start with action. Literal action.
Stand up. Walk over there. Walk back.
Stand taller. Get lower.
Spin. Jump. Jump again.
Do the thing.
Action inspires motivation.
Zoning out and jelly brain is fine but like
Do the discipline first because then
Your brain is charged and more connected to your spine and
Nervous system and consciousness, and so
From there on out you’re driving a boat that has the best gas in it,
And really
When I say discipline I mean
Honoring yourself deep enough to put meditation on your calendar,
And check that baby off.
Get that dopamine fix. You accomplisher you.
Do it for a minute a day. A week in full.
Then add another minute or 30 seconds more the next week.
The discipline is putting willpower to action.
Checks offs and consistency create motivation
And then you can use your willpower elsewhere
Because once you have it down, once it’s second nature,
You free up the discipline, the willpower
And you just are
A meditator by nature.
