This Full Length 60-Minute Yoga Nidra is a journey through the subtle body, inviting balance, clarity, and awakening of the seven chakras—from root to crown.

Rooted in the teachings of Swami Satyananda Saraswati, this deeply restorative practice follows the classical structure of Yoga Nidra—moving from physical stillness and breath awareness into psychic visualization, chakra attunement, and subtle energy awakening.

We’ll travel through the primary chakras, invoking their symbols, sensations, and seed sounds:

• Mooladhara (Root) – Earth – Grounding & Stability
• Swadhisthana (Sacral) – Water – Flow & Creativity
• Manipura (Solar Plexus) – Fire – Will & Power
• Anahata (Heart) – Air – Love & Compassion
• Vishuddhi (Throat) – Sound – Truth & Expression
• Ajna (Third Eye) – Light – Intuition & Clarity
• Sahasrara (Crown) – Spirit – Unity & Consciousness

You'll also connect with Bindu, the moonlike point of transcendence at the top-back of the head. Through imagery, breath, and vibration, the chakras are visualized as radiant lotus flowers and symbolic forms—each representing a portal to deeper awareness.

This practice is a form of inner alchemy. It supports energetic recalibration, emotional healing, and spiritual insight. Yoga Nidra is known for its profound effects on stress, insomnia, and nervous system regulation—offering the benefits of deep rest and meditative presence.

Yoga Nidra, or yogic sleep, is a meditative state between waking and dreaming where the body surrenders completely and the mind becomes quiet and receptive. According to scientific studies and yogic texts, one hour of Yoga Nidra can be as restorative as four hours of deep sleep.

Lie down. Let go. And listen inward.

Hari Om Tat Sat.

Unburden the body and soul in this 50-minute Yoga Nidra practice—a guided meditative journey rooted in ancient yogic wisdom and the healing language of myth and metaphor.

Created as a sanctuary for those ready to release the weight of shame—both personal and inherited—this practice invites you to gently soften the protective layers around your heart and return to the truth of your inherent worth. Inspired by the classical structure of Satyananda Saraswati, this session is an invocation of remembrance: of wholeness, of holiness, of home.

Through this richly woven nidra, you’ll be guided through:

• Physical stillness & rotation of awareness — systematically relax every part of the body, softening armor and tension held in the muscles, tissues, and bones.
• Subtle breath awareness — witness the rise and fall of your breath to restore trust in your body’s rhythms and reconnect to your inner sanctuary.
• Sankalpa planting — infuse the subconscious with a healing intention, planting seeds of compassion in the fertile soil of deep receptivity.
• Symbolic journeying — explore archetypal imagery, metaphor, and subtle storytelling that speaks directly to the wounded places, calling home the exiled parts of self with reverence.
• Closing & integration — emerge slowly and tenderly, bringing with you a deeper sense of belonging, spaciousness, and embodied peace.

This is not just a meditation—it is an alchemical rite of passage. A safe return to the body. A balm for the psyche. A remembering of who you were before the world told you otherwise.

Accessible to all levels and especially resonant for those on a path of healing and self-reclamation.

Enter the sacred threshold of inner vision with this 60-minute Yoga Nidra for Full Body Awareness, a guided practice drawn from the original teachings of Swami Satyananda Saraswati. This journey invites you to dissolve into deep stillness, attune to the subtle body, and explore the liminal space of chidakasha—the inner sky behind closed eyes—where the unconscious whispers and insight arises.

Created for those seeking refuge from mental overstimulation, emotional heaviness, or simply the longing to reconnect with the self, this practice is both deeply restorative and profoundly revealing. Let it meet you wherever you are—whether at the edge of sleep, during a midday reset, or as part of a ritual of personal healing.

Through a devotional and methodical structure rooted in traditional Yoga Nidra, you’ll be gently guided through:

• Rotation of Consciousness — a body-by-body unraveling that quiets the nervous system and anchors awareness in embodied presence.
• Breath Awareness & Mental Nadi Shodhana — a subtle balancing of inner energies through alternate nostril awareness, cultivating clarity and inner harmony.
• Chidakasha Dharana (Inner Space Meditation) — explore the space behind the eyes as a portal to your subconscious, intuition, and inner imagery.
• Mantra & Sound Vibration — including Om repetition to resonate through the subtle body and awaken inner stillness.
• Return to Presence — slowly reawakening with spacious integration, carrying the residue of rest into your waking life.

This is more than a relaxation technique—it’s an invitation into sacred perception. A place where your body becomes a temple, and the breath becomes a prayer. Here, you are not doing—you are remembering.

Whether you are new to Yoga Nidra or returning to the lineage with devotion, this journey welcomes you home.
