I spent five days last week studying iRest yoga nidra with Richard Miller.

It was one of the most profoundly life changing teachings I’ve ever experienced.

The funny thing is that I used to really dislike yoga nidra.  I tried it for the first time at the satyananda ashram in Daylesford nearly 10 years ago, and, well, I did not like it one bit.  I fidgeted throughout the whole practice, and lay there (impatiently) waiting for it to be over (and my now husband slept through the whole thing).  I was practicing Ashtanga Yoga at the time, and (I see now) needed the constant movement of the vigorous Ashtanga practice to keep my mind focussed.

Now a decade older, the relaxing and soothing balm of yoga nidra, coupled with the focussed meditation on pure awareness, is just what I need.

I feel like I’ve found what I’ve been searching for, for a long time.  And it was always there.

So expect more from me about yoga nidra in the future.  I’ll be blogging more about what it is and how it rocks my world, and I’m really excited that Richard will be contributing to my online course a daily dose of bliss (stay tuned!).

Blessings,
