This special 1 hour Yoga Nidra meditation and video was filmed on the first day of the Soul Nectar retreat with my beloved teachers Ally Boothroyd and Kristyn Rose. They lovingly facilitated a 5-day immersive and restorative transformation with daily Yoga Nidra, meditation, and mindful practices, all set against the lush background of the coastal rainforest in the peaceful haven of Bowen Island, British Columbia, Canada. This sunset was captured near the Cape Roger Curtis Lighthouse at the end of a hike along the Sea Walk Trail. A 25 minute sleep talk down with a guided meditation is followed by 35 minutes of soothing soft waves and peaceful music that is specifically designed to calm anxiety and promote deep unconscious sleep. This particular guided meditation is inspired by Sarovara Yoga with Ally Boothroyd, incorporating a modified Yoga Nidra technique to induce deep sleep and alleviating insomnia. This technique differs slightly from standard Non-Sleep Deep Rest forms of Yoga Nidra, since there is no intention to maintain trace awareness. Instead, use this meditation if you want to drift off to sleep with peace and ease.
