Setting up for yoga nidra begins the moment you’ve sat down. Consider the practice started then, and treat yourself like your own beloved. 💞 This was the key message of this week’s meditation tutorial!
The yoga pose of the week is the sister pose to last week’s pose breakdown – Agnistambhasana | Double Pigeon or Fire Log pose. 🪵
BREATHE with Love
Unlock Healing and Relaxation with Yoga Nidra
Today’s one minute tutorial shows you how to set up for your own yoga nidra practice. ⏲️
Yoga Nidra is said to:
- increase delta brainwaves
- help with insomnia
- induce a state of healing
- and at the very least … provide a deep sense of relaxation and rest.1
Once you’re all set up, give one of my #BREATHEwithlove guided relaxation meditations a try!
The below Guided Relaxation is my most popular one:
Did you know you can listen to my meditations on Spotify, Apple Podcasts AND YouTube?!
MOVE with Love
Agnistambhasana | Double Pigeon or Fire Log Pose
This deep hip opener should be warmed up to for sure… but what a great stretch for the buttocks and outer legs! 🍑🦵
We have our bottom thigh slightly rotating outwards, and we stack the opposite leg’s ankle on top of the knee. Aiming to have the ankles lined up on opposite knees.
This is a great opportunity for a couple yoga blocks! I love a little upside down T set up myself. Then just like before, we rise up tall on the inhale and fold on the exhale. Forehead rests gently on that top yoga block, feet are flexed, shoulders melt down the back and we breathe into the hips and low back.
Thank you so much for being here. I firmly believe in the quiet power of yoga and meditation – and sharing it with you is my great mission. ✨
