From exhausted, sleep-deprived mom juggling work, grad school, and family life to certified Yoga Nidra instructor—this is my personal story of discovering the transformative power of Yoga Nidra over 20 years ago. In this video, I share: How I discovered Yoga Nidra during the most demanding season of my life Why I was skeptical at first (and what changed my mind after one listen) How a 30-minute practice became equivalent to hours of deep sleep Why Yoga Nidra became my lifeline and daily refuge How I still practice regularly as "Nana" and why it matters even more now My journey to becoming a certified Yoga Nidra teacher Whether you're an overwhelmed parent, busy professional, student, or simply seeking deeper rest and peace—Yoga Nidra meets you exactly where you are.
