    Ally there is no way to thank you enough for all you do! I tuned in this morning to find a yoga nidra that would help settle my racing and judging mind and found this brand new one and it couldn’t have been more perfect! Your yoga nidras have been a major part of my healing journey the past three years as I deal with long covid, dysautonomia, and past trauma. You have made a major difference in my quality of life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤️

    Wow wow wow! This one is beyond everything I've ever experienced! The way you're using your voice, the words and affirmations you're saying, the very very gentle background sound, I am absolutely astonished. Your guidance has helped me over the last year to really make huge improvements on my journey to healing from severe burn out/chronic fatigue/complex ptsd, I can't thank you enough. Hope I'm able to carve out some time within the next few years to attend one of your teachings, id be truly blessed and honoured. Until then, I will continue focusing on being the best one-parent household I can possibly be for my precious daughter as well as healing my own little gigantic almost no longer broken heart. Danke, as I'd say in my native language. ❤ May you be forever blessed, supported and protected.

    You are a poet. I adore your healing incantations. Every time I return, I am moved to try to express how impressed I am by your words. I do think of it as poetry. One of your Gratitude Nidras I would take to a desert island. Thank you for your service.

    This nidra popped up on my phone just as I was getting ready to find one for my morning practice - 40 minutes also happens to be my preferred length. I'm going through an extremely stressful time at the moment. Sending my attention to the buzzing 🐝 bee breath, buzzing along with you and doing it for 10 breaths, felt like a relief, immersing myself into it, being able to put the worrying off to the side for a bit. The following nidra felt like a safe space, an island of letting go. Thank you so much, Ally, for tirelessly providing these refuges for us. 💜☮️🔆

    Thank you for this wonderful opportunity for my peace and joy. At this moment I am thinking of my disabled son Ryan who is dying as I type this. He is in the hospital and I will be visiting with him today. I pray for him always and forever be in my thoughts and prayers. Life is tough right now and I need your yoga practice to help me get through the next days. Love for Ryan and myself❤

  • @restfulstillness2274
    @restfulstillness2274 6 днів тому

    Namaste! I practiced at 5 P.M. on May 27, 2024. Bhramari was a bit challenging as I had a lot of things on my mind and was trying to repeat my lengthy Sankalpa, lol. I absolutely loved the guidance of observing the stillness of the muscle of the tongue and of both eyes. That was a reminder to give myself permission to let all thoughts cease. It allowed me to deeply relax and to remember that it is in stillness that all else that has troubled me fades away. What I am going to do to support myself at this time is to remember to combine daily long walks in nature with daily yoga nidras for myself, independent of others and my guidance of others. I feel calmer and clearer now and know to tackle one thing at a time.

  • @PaulineBro100

    Love the Bhramari pranayama at the start! So great to settle in with, I'm at 10 months after donating my left kidney to my husband, and this really helped vagus nerve recovery just now. As well as the stiffness in my knees I've been experiencing. This is my first time trying your Yoga Nidra and have found exactly what I needed to help me through this part of recovery. Thank you❤🙏❤ Namaste

You are clearly inspired from within and I couldn’t be more grateful to have found you when I needed your guidance. I’ve been doing a handful of previous practices and just tried this one for the first time today - I’m totally rewarded for my venture into newness. This is now joining the other favorites. A million thanks and kudos.

    Ally, thank you so much for this nidra. I didn't sleep well last night - and while yoga nidra provides so much more than catching up from poor sleep, it's reassuring to know that when those nights occur that yoga nidra provides the deep rest that I need. I hope yesterday went as well as possible for you. senidnng love.

    I like how you offer wonderful variations of the Yoga Nidra practice.
    In this one, I loved the background, natural soothing sound of the rain.
    I think it's more effective when the practice has a longer prelude, introduction. Now, it was through the "bhramari" technique. There must be sufficient prior time to enter this NSDR deep state. I guess it depends on personal preferences, but rotating from the one side, each part, then to the other, and then finally to the whole body, is the way.
    I also noticed that at the end you added the "double inhale" type of breath. Perhaps, in a future session, in another variation, you might like to explore more on this type of breath.
    Greetings 🙏.

I did really enjoy the humming pranayama before hand (although I didn't do all of them personally as I was too tired!). Thanks so much for your wonderful recordings ❤
    P.s: I'd love to do the training sometime although unsure that I would get to teach it that much.
