This 20 minute grounding yoga nidra is a guided meditation for deep regenerating and healing rest. Yoga nidra as a guided meditation is a great relaxation technique and so much more. This yoga nidra is healing for muladhara chakra & vata dosha by lowering vata, calming vata, using the earth element and forest visualization to balance muladhara, the root chakra and calm the nervous system.
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.
In this 20 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 is a form of meditation that helps with insomnia, anxiety, stress, adrenal fatigue, ptsd and so much more. This scan takes you through the whole body, systematically relaxing every part of your being.
Yoga Nidra translates as psychic sleep and is a systematic method of inducing physical, mental and emotional relaxation, while maintaining awareness at deeper levels.
Close your eyes and allow yourself to be guided into deep relaxation.
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.
Scientific research has demonstrated that restorative power of just one hour of Yoga Nidra is equal to 4 hours of healthy 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.

Every time there's any situation which brings anxiety and heart ache - this is what I've been turning towards : Yoga Nidra. And your videos have been the saviour of many such days and nights. Sending you so much love and blessings for creating these for the collective.
I was struggling with head and neck pain from stress and worry because my mom is very ill and in the ICU. This calmed me and helped relieved my head pain. Thank you so much, Ally, for your generous and truly healing spirit.
Hope your Mom did well🙏🏽
This one was amazing. What I love is that 20 minutes feels like 5, I’m awake, I can hear Ally but I’m somewhere else. Thank you for this amazing session.
I don't know what magic you do but it's glorious. I maybe fall asleep but I don't feel groggy and I come to perfect conciousness at the end as you are winding down the nidra. It's beautiful. You're a true healer and artist. Thank you for sharing your talents with us 😊 🙏
Thank you for this wonderful video. It left me wonderfully calm. I'm from Toronto and am using Yoga Nidra to solidify my violin practice. I lie down and listen to it after a good 90 minute session of work - I think it helps assimilate what I have just worked on.
Yes it does, the brain/bidy-mind process and integrate at its most capable in parasympathetic and deep relax theta. Plus it feels so nice
Amazing Sheila!
Interesting :)
As a coffee drinker, I can never nap. This is such a great guide to help myself relax and resfresh in the middle of the day!
Thank you Ally❤ I love the sound of the birds…so lovely to hear them on a cold December day. Doing this practice (trying) every morning. It makes for a calm start. I wake up with a headache almost everyday & it allows me to focus on my whole body - a brief reprieve… thank you, Ally. ❤EYTT 200hr
Thankyou Ally. You helped. I have PTSD and your soothing voice makes a difference. ❤
Thank you, Ally, this was beautiful.
I am thankful for my spiritual connection to God and to the universe, my beautiful children and friends, and my gorgeous home in the country ❤ I'm also thankful for your gift.
I am so grateful for all parts of me and my body and all she supports, nourishes and loves me. I am so grateful and blessed for my internal and external family and ancestors, I am so grateful for my friends and community, internally and externally, xxx this lifetime and all lifetimes, past, present and future xxx
Every Yoga Nidra in this channel is wonderful and it's also helping me to make Yoga Nidra a daily habit. Namaste.
Hi ally. I’m experiencing something called akathisia at the moment which is caused by damage to the nervous system from taking psychiatric drugs for many years and having come off them over a year ago now. Your yoga Nidra practice is a godsend. Namaste 🙏🏽
Thank you 🙏 You and your videos are helping me to heal from a broken heart
Thank you for this precise.🙏 It was just what I needed to restore some energy after a difficult night unable to sleep. Namaste 🧘♀️🪷
I appreciate how you often mention the Earth... releasing into the Earth, connecting, grounding... usually when I do the practices I am laying on a bed on a 2nd story, far above the ground... but your presence with this helps me to connect into the Earth and I love that, thank you!!
Thanks Ally, I enjoyed this meditation. The sounds of nature are relaxing. Afterwards I felt I'd had a deep rest. Much appreciated x
Amazing healing modality to be asleep while awake! Body pain reduced by 50% at least. Super excited about this
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Thank you thank you thank you dearest Ally ❤
You are so welcome Emma
Namaste! 🙏 I practiced around 11:11 P.M. on November 7, 2023.
This was relaxing. The headache I had after longevity Kriya almost fully went away.
Clarity gained amidst the chaos of the day. Thanks 🙏🏻
I listened to this at 2PM when I was in need of a nap. It was so peaceful and calming! This would be a nice quick one to listen to, to reset during the work day. Thank you!!
Totally agree Jackie! 🌟🌸 so lovely. ! There are some Yoga Nidra’s on my page too if you want to check them out. Thank you in advance would love to hear what you think. 🌸🌺🌜
Headache is GONE! Thank you ❤️ Full disclosure...fell asleep for a few minutes!
I love your yoga nidra creations, Ally! Thank you so much ❤ I am trying to recover from a chronic illness and your voice and guidance is one of the few things that makes me feel good! I've listened to so many of your videos over recent months! So grateful 🙏
Wish you well in your recovery.
Wonderful practice. Definitely helped me feel restored & regenerated after a poor nights sleep. Thank you ☺️
I love being a tree. Thank you, Ally.
First time I tried this. I thought I needed a nap but heard this could help. Pretty sure I passed out for 5 of the 20 mins, but by the time is was done I felt better than before I started. I'll try it again tomorrow!
Stay with it! It can change everything :)
Me too, I'm not sure how I also pass out and then come back for the end of the session, it's like a power reset :)
Thank you. My anxiety has been so bad recently. This practice made me feel so much better!
Feeling rooted after this gentle bath in the forest, thank you🥰😊🙏
Each session has me coming back for more. As much as I love movement, the stillness and you gentle words are showing a new world! Thanks for sharing, your voice is lovely!!!
I feel truly grounded and so much more peaceful and at ease than before I started. Ally you understand Yoga Nidra so deeply and it helps me to understand it and know my body and soul so deeply too. I hope I can take my learning and use it to help others as you help so many of us. Thank you from the depths of my soul 🙏 Namaste 🙏
So so good! Very much needed after a migraine this morning ❤
Namaste. A lovely nidra. Thank you. 🕉 🙏
Thank you for sharing your gift. I’m feeling much better ✨
Felt more peaceful and appreciative of being here with nature. From Australia and I've listened to a few of your sessions.
Practising in Melbourne, Australia, loved the forest theme and imagining all the sounds of the forest. Feeling so rested now. ❤
Keep on coming back to this one! Thanks Ally ✨
Thank you for practicing with me today! I'd love to hear from you! How do you feel after this nidra? Where are you from? Thank you for practicing with me today on my channel :)
Wow, such soothing and calming experience. Loved to imagine to be a heavy tree trunk sinking into my bed. 😁The birds singing and your beautiful soft voice of guidance make a great combination. Thanks so much!
Started with a headache coming on, mind too active. After this 20 restorative YN (which felt less than 10) the ache and tension in my head had subsided and mind much calmer. Amazing! Thank you Ally 🙏🙏🌈✨ Namaste xxx
I go soooo deep with your yoga nidras. Thank you for the birdies!💞
Thank you Ali, I do yoga nidra with you sometimes 2or3 times a day as I try to bring my Chronic fatigue up from bed rest. Your generosity in sharing is much appreciated ❤
Thank you for this beautiful experience of being guided by your voice, I felt deeply relaxed en very joyful afterwards
Thank you for your soothing voice. Thank you for reminding me that I am part of the forest. 🌲
I feel grounded, present, rested and relaxed dear Ally, thank you!! Greetings from France!
I so appreciate this particular nidra. I find myself coming back to it often, I love the reference to the tree in the forest. It helps me to ground, and be present.
333 pm. Namaste 🙏
This is truly amazing. I have not felt this deeply peaceful & relaxed in a long time. Wow! How can it do this? Something about the mentally touching on all the body parts.
That was a lovely quick practice. I had a head pain that is reduced by a lot. It is not completely gone, but much improved. Mahalo Ally!
This is Jessica ❤ Thank you
Thank you 🙏 🤗. Your voice, authenticity and this practice, make my life better and energize me in the best ways to make me a better Father and Husband, and better more loving to myself 🙏❤️
How did I ever do life before this practice. So much gratitude to you. ❤️⭐️❤️
I usually use your Yoga Nidras before sleep or to rest during the day, but just used this one in the morning and feel less tired, more creative & inspired! 😍 Thanks!
This is my new favorite. Thank you.
Thank you Ally. I feel restored after this grounding yoga nidra. There's a lot happening in my life at the moment and this 20 minutes was very welcome.
One of my favourites. Thanks Ally ⭐️
Wonderful and soothing yoga nidra. Namaste Ally 🙏🏼
Namaste, Ally! ❤
Namaste Ally -,this just may be one of my very favorites. 4:59 am module 7 yn training
Thankyou for this beautiful way to start my day!!🙏🏽♥️
Thank you Ally❤ I’m with the 200 hr EYTT
Thank you so much for your grounding Yoga Nidra videos. They are so meaningful. With appreciation and palms together.
Hi Ally, I just wanted to thankyou so much for your generous and beautiful Yoga Nidra sessions. I have been unwell with an as yet undiagnosed illness, which has created enormous stress both physically and mentally. Throughout the year I have found great relaxation and comfort in your Yoga Nidra, and I continue to rely on it heavily to calm my nerves. I am about to embark on a treatment through Chinese medicine and acupuncture which I am confident is going to address my issues, but I will continue to back it all up with your soothing sessions. One day I will travel to Canada (from Australia) and hopefully attend your classes in person. Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou, from the bottom of my heart. Fiona
I love the nature sounds in this video ! Perfect 😊🍃🌼🌷
You have a lovely calming voice, great Yoga Nidra. Thankyou
Namaste. Loved the feel of the forest in this one.
Thank you for creating these, they are wonderful.
A delightful pause in my day 😊 Namaste!
Deep gratitude for this one and all you’re delivering to the world: your knowledge, voice and sensitivity ❤
Namaste. Thank you for sharing this peaceful Yoga Nidra🙏🏾
Perfect for Sunday morning. Thank you!
Namaste
This is such an awesome yoga nidra! Perfect to quiet the mind and body and let go of any stress or anxiety weighing you down. Thank you!
#Namaste Ally.Janeyb Module 2. I adored this one, such a beautiful way to wake up after years of saying No to life in the mornings. It really is medicine for the mind body&soul you are offering us here. So so many blessings ❤❤❤
i feel so energized and rested! beautiful practice thank you so much! namaste
Thank you, Ally. ✨🌱✨
Feeling so peaceful and grounded, yet clear and elevated. I think I’m still on the ground in the forest bathing, can you check? Tensions and anxieties from the day gone. A most welcome coming home tonight. Yoga Nidra DID Me, yup it DID. Pure Bliss. Namaste Jojo ☮️🙏💜
I love that... Reminds me of our Kripalu training together :) :) :)
As someone w a history of TBI that caused bipolar, which in no longer medicate for, this is my gone to if I am feeling like I need some grounding. I have many favourites of yours now for specific needs and situations. Always so grateful to have been steered in your direction. Namaste Ally 🙏
I 💚 this one.
Thank you Ally and all the little birds in the background.
Your meditations are simply amazing, Ally. Your voice is so soothing. I truly do appreciate you taking the time to do these for us.
When I started with your 10 minute yoga nidra meditations a few weeks ago, not only did I find myself getting much better rest, but I wake up in a much more positive mood afterwards.
This was my first time with this video, and first time doing one in the morning, and I can’t even describe how at peace I feel right now. The meditation felt like it went by so quick (in a good way) because of how peaceful it made me feel.
Wonderful practice! I've been doing Yoga Nidra (almost) every morning and it's been so healing for me. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world❤
Feeling liberated.Thank you
I do feel refreshed, reenergised and reinspired to know that I can handle whatever comes to me kindly and gently today.
Thanks Ally 🙏
Thanks again
Thank you, Ally 🤍
So wonderful and relaxing 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️
Loved the bird sounds. So grounding. Thank you!
This was so beautiful; I will be coming back to it more often. Love the reference to a tree on the forest floor! Thank you so very much for all you give!
I feel very relaxed, thank you
Can’t thank you enough so soothing for whole body
Thank you. Your Yoga Nidra videos are helping me so much.
This was amazing, I went away and came back on cue, feeling reborn.
So peaceful 🌟 Thank you
