Ally, that was so incredibly beautiful and deeply, deeply restful. A multilayered masterpiece. I absolutely love your palm to heart breathing .. so gentle & powerful at the same time. My sankalpa changed from surrender to surrender to self trust. Thank you a thousand times for sharing your magnificent gift. A light, bright, happy, healthy and abundant 2023 to you. Love always 🙏🏻🙏🏻💖💖🌟
Susan!!! I'm so grateful that our paths have crossed in this life. I feel it is such a blessing to know you and you've been one of the blessings in my life this past year. It's been an honour to connect with you over this year, it makes me smile just to think about it. It's amazing to me that we might never have met without the internet, RU-vid and this channel... so much to be thankful for 💜 I'm wishing you a happy, healthy and peaceful New Year sweet soul 💜
Oh my goodness, Ally! What a beautiful, generous thing to say. Thank you so much. You are a divine and precious gift in my life too and I’m profoundly grateful to have found you and your magnificent work. Love always, dear friend 💕💕🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you, Ally, for activating the wisdom of our hearts. I wish you and your family a loving 2023! (My sankalpa is ‘I step into my essence. I live my life fully’)
Thank you Ally! Beginning from a place of deep rest and a balanced nervous system is a good starting point in 2023. To new beginnings! 🙋♀️💝🔥🕊🦢💍🦋🐞🐬🐳🌱☘️🌼🪷🌞🌑💫🌏💥✨⚡️ You are a gift to the world . Your voice and heart ❤️ have supported my healing enormously! 🙏🏻
Relinquishing self-criticism and embracing self-trust. This is the song of my heart for this practice. Thank you for this offering, Ally. Happy New Year to you and to everyone in the community here 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hello I 'found' your channel last night whilst scrolling YT.I listened to the deep rest Yoga Nidra video it had shown me - first time I have ever tried Yoga Nidra. It was so soothing.My body & mind & heart are in need of healing from what feels like a prolonged period of sadness & difficulties.I have just practiced the 5min morning meditation & watched your video on Sankalpa. Is there a particular programme of meditations on your channel you would recommend please as I very much would like to continue this practice.I am so thankful I was guided here.Namaste
Welcome Christina. I would recommend this one for the beginning of the year if you like. A 5 day restorative immersion - ru-vid.com/group/PL19-3B-OVYod441MqovsvrrPkD1DLf9dW. (there's lots to explore though when you look through my Playlists!)
@@SarovaraYoga Thank you so much for taking the time to reply & pointing me in the right direction. Wishing you a New Year filled with Love & Light from a very wet South Wales UK!🧡
Dear Ally, Thank you-so very much for sharing this practice with us and blessing us with your beautifully calming voice. I love you! Also, you're guidance has helped me heal my vagus nerve from a major trauma. Happy New Year
Dearest Ally thank you so much for providing us all with your incredibly beautiful yoga nidras especially this new year video. You truly are a magnificent blessing to the world. I’m deeply grateful for you being there.❤ Happy new year to you and your family ❤❤❤xxxx
Rita!!!! I'm so excited to read your comment love... I'm so grateful our paths have crossed. I'm sending you so much love dear one 😊 Thank you for sharing with me. And wishing you a happy, healthy and peaceful New Year 💜
Thank you so much Ally 🙏 I have been struggling with chronic illness and your yoga nidras have been a lifeline. The thought of a new year is daunting to me so this one was an emotional one, reminding myself I am still loved and needed here. And my sankalpa that "I am healing". Thank you so much ❤️
A beautiful Sankalpa and a courageous way to show up in the world. Sending you lots of love and healing 💜 You are most definitely loved and the world needs you.
Thank you Ally 🏴 I follow your channel for my regular practice you’re the best , glad I found you , Yoga Nidra has changed my life I’m more calm and peaceful within myself . I recommend your channel to friends and people I meet. Namaste ❤
Wonderful Kim, Awe, thank you for letting me know. It's my dream that this channel might help many people create peace within themselves. Thank you for sharing with me. And wishing you a happy, healthy and peaceful New Year 💜
Wow - that was amazing. I discovered yoga nidra a few months ago and have been gradually developing my practice via your videos Ally. This is a total revelation for me. I have had a horrible year. It took a long time to find the strength to exit a toxic relationship. I've never meditated or done anything yoga before. Trail running was my only way to find space and peace. But the yoga nidra are opening up a whole new whole to me. I started with the 10 minutes and then 15 and just this week have tried a couple of longer 30 minute sessions. Excited to continue to develop the practice this year and learn more about it too with you as my guide. Thank you
Amazing Charlie, thank you for sharing with me... yes, it truly can be a life-changing and transformative experience in the most beneficial and life-enhancing ways. I'm excited that your journey with Yoga Nidra has begun! 💜😊
Thank you kindly for your beautiful Yoga Nidras. 3:57 They are such an important part of my life. I live in beauty and peace. I am creative and in excellent health❤❤❤
I agree that this practice is a blessing for the world! And you are a gifted teacher. My sankalpa taking shape is: I move through the day with love and trust, operating from my best (or highest, or wisest) self 🙏🏽💚🌟
Ally, You have enhanced my life through your yoga nidra. I have been practicing with you for a year and look forward to my yoga nidra practice with you every day. Thank you for generously sharing your gifts and for making life better. I hope your 2023 will be fulfilling and deeply meaningful for you.
This was so wonderful to read, I absolutely love that you are benefitting from the channel. Thank you for sharing with me. May you have a peaceful, happy, healthy new year and I so appreciate this message 💜
Happy new year beloved teacher, i feel so blessed to have you and your team in my life. So many positive changes in my personal being and life. Thank you so much. Love Tiziana ytt
Tiziana!!! I got so excited to see your lovely name pop up. We feel very blessed that you have chosen to deepen your journey with yoga with us. You are a shining gemstone and it's wonderful to hear that you are seeing the benefits of your study and practice love. :)
Thank you Ally for this creation! I was very agitated and couldn't relax well, but I liked creating the intention. Any recommendations if the agitating feeling presents during yoga nidra session?
You can do progressive muscle relaxation, physiological sighs (Viloma pranayama), alternate nostril breathing, or some gentle asanas like child pose, or even camel pose, before you start to help to still the body and allow the mind to become more silent.
Excellent suggestions. There are some pranayama and gentle yoga/asana videos on my channel and I do highly suggest doing some shorter 10-30 minute practices if you have time first and then a shorter Nidra practice and see how that goes 😊
Ally, Thank you for sharing this beautiful gift. Grateful to receive this Yoga Nidra journey. It’s so appropriate for this day, time and as I begin Module 5 in your program. 1/1/23@5pm Many blessings for love & light in 2023! 🪷
Awe, I love that Marcy. It's exciting that you are embarking on the Module 5 journey! I'm excited to check in about this on your next live mentor call :) Wishing you a happy, healthy, peaceful 2023 💜😊
Aweeeeeee JESS!!! So heartwarming to see your name come up and know that you've joined me in this practice. May you have a peaceful, happy, healthy new year 💜 Sending you all the love dear soul.
Thank you Ally. That was gorgeous. Hope you have a lovely 2023. It has been lovely to study with you and your lovely team in 2022 and I look forward to more in 2023. Bernadette xxx
Bernadette! It's been so wonderful having you in our wonderful community. Thank you for sharing with me. May you have a peaceful, happy, healthy new year and see you on a call soon 💜
Happy New Year Ally. Thank you for this gift. I am starting to practice more frequently again and look forward to a more regular schedule in the course this month. Namaste.
Dearest dearest Ally. Wishing you all the love and gratitude for sharing your Beauty with the world in this way . I am benefitting sure much from the Transformational Sleep YTT and keep pausing to repeat .. I think it may take a whole year to complete as I deepen my awareness and release many of the patterns that unconsciously have been holding me back . The process is gentle and slow and yet radical and free-ing! Thank you and happy new year 🎉❤
Wonderful Emma!!! Yes, slow and radical and free-ing is the way to go 😊 take as much time as you need. Even if you take pauses, just keep coming back to it and keep going! You've got this 💜💜😊
I found you on youtube.. and now I am so happy with your voice so close to me.. I am a veteran seeking peace of mind.. and I love your voice.. plc keep up your work and have a perfekt new year. Best of love 🙏 from Denmark.
Hello Ally - I stumbled across your meditations after googling yoga nidra. I just wanted to say thank you so much for bringing peace and calm into a time in my life where I had been feeling stressed and helpless. My sleep has improved too. Thank you. Wishing you a happy and healthy and peaceful New Year.
Dear Ally, thanks for guiding me throughout 2022 with much needed restorative moments! Congrats on this great work you do!! Mariana from São Paulo, Brazil
Ally thank you so much for your videos they really help me when my energy is off and I need to release any negative energy I may be caring. I work in peoples homes and noticed a 8 year old girl that was deregulated because of her mother and environment. I gave her your video to listen to and saw the impact it had on her. Seeing what your mediation did for her touched my soul that I was looking into going to your retreat because I want to be more of service.
What a beautiful story Travis, thank you for sharing this with me. I hope she is able to come back to these resources when she needs them. You are always welcome to check out our online trainings as well if you would like to guide this practice for others. 🙏🏼

Happy New Year to you and your family Ally and thank you for being such a kind and generous channel for the healing wisdom of life. Thank you for pointing the way to true north.
Thankyou Ally, this was perfect timing...I did a Cleansing and Release ceremony to create space for New Intentions as the New Year clicked over and then found this on You tube, was aligned with my ceremony 🥰🌟🙏🙌⭐💞🌈 Happy New Year , Namaste 🙏 love and light to you Shelley Maree 🙌 🧚♀️
That sounds wonderful Shelley, I love that you do these beautiful rituals for yourself. So caring and compassionate. I wish more people would take this time and care with themselves! The world would be so much better off. 💜
@@SarovaraYoga Thankyou so much Ally 🙌 I have strong indigenous spirit connection and felt i needed to just be with myself and spirit to allow myself to release all that no longer serves my purpose.. I recently purchased and moved into an old run down 100 year old home in a gorgeous country town, i cleansed the home too 💞 I have been following my heart and intuition to restore, renovate and planning to build a Wellness Retreat here, to Practise Reiki Healing , Teach Yin Yoga, Meditation and Workshops to support others to create space for healing and self-love, overcome trauma, build resilience and live their happiest life xo I love what you do and your way....I would love to learn more from you. I am in Australia NSW so hopefully we can connect online, for a start 🙏 🧡
Beautiful Debi, I absolutely love that. Thank you for sharing with me. May you have a peaceful, happy, healthy new year 💜 See you on a live call soon 😊
Thank you for this beautiful new year guided meditation and all of the resources you provide. I trust in my life circumstances and accept and love myself just as I am. Namaste.
Happy new year Emily Love!! This is such a beautiful Sankalpa, I love love love reading this. Thank you for sharing with me 😊💜 sending you all the love for this new year and thank you for being such a wonderful part of our community. Xo
Thank - you Ally! I have been using the sankalpa 'I Am Healing Now' for 20 months and practising with you for all of this time. I am healing from a C5, C6 medial nerve neck and finger injury. I can say your yoga nidras have helped me so much, listening to your voice, I feel my body healing, thank you and blessings of abundance for 2023 ♡♡♡ Ps. and your yoga nidras also helped balance me soo much during covid, forever greatful to your dedication to service for the planet ♡☆♡☆♡☆
Thank you again from the Netherlands! I have developed a sankalpa the past couple of days which I wish to take with me into the new year. The last 9 months I have been suffering from Long Covid symptoms, similar to ME/CFS. With help from your video's, I've come to accept my situation and hope to move forward with this heart's intention: "I am calm and strong, assertive and kind. I am in control of, give in to, and stand up for what I need." I wish you a happy and healthy 2023! 🙏
Thank you so much dearest Ally for this precious gift!! The right and helpful practice to begin. I wish you all the best for you and your family. Namasté 🙏🏼🤗🌈
Hi Ally~ As we're getting closer to 2024, I thought I'd listen to this Yoga Nidra practice you did in 2022 and the setting of a Sankalpa -- an intention. So enjoyed and will add it to my "Homework Log Sheet". Namaste~
Absolutely wonderful. Struggling a bit today & I’m sure part of it is due to my nervous system. Also back doing your 5 minute breathing exercise. 🙏 thank you xx
Hi Ally (and Kristen, Tiina and Laura) On this brilliant, manic sunny day I realize i have come through a passage and even allow myself to write down reflections per your prompting Ally. I want to thank you for introducing the concept of Yoga Nidra and the encouragement to allow myself to embrace yoga nidra, the dark season and being the conduit to give me permission to embrace a retreat. I have built restorative yoga, yoga nidra into my life. What I have let go is the traditional Christmas. (still there in the meeting with friends and family form) 😊 What you have introduced is unstructured structure - a practice that has been the best wellness work I have done lately. (Don't want to ramble but want to get this down) These practices have come to me at a time in life when I am entering senior years, and winter time is endured rather than enjoyed. Thank you for giving me the structure to view the winter time as a passage, and to embrace the practice of rest and regeneration, so new year, new practices and the embrace of stillness which is formative.
Happy new, Ally and thank you for this great start for 2023. I found my Sankulpa: It is about trust, both myself and others 🥰 I am so grateful that I "found" your channel nearly 2 years ago. Your yoga nidra has helped me so much in calming my nervous system in my rehab after burn-out and my sleep is much better and relaxed. I look forward to follow you this year on my way to better health. My best wishes and thanks ❤
I‘ve been loving doing your yoga nidra. I feel so much more awaken afterwards. The only thing is, I always sleep through it. Let’s see when I finally will be able to enjoy your yoga nidra fully awaken. Thanks so much for sharing your gift with us.
Hi Ally, that was really beautiful! That was my first time ever doing a yoga nidra with you and I loved it. I don't know what a Sankalpa is but when you asked for us to feel it in my heart, I heard my 3 year old sons voice, calling "Mummy" I then had a visualisation of 7 oval disks in front of me with a triangle in the middle of them?? Looking forward to experiencing more Yoga Nidra with you xx
Thank you Ally🙏❤️ I lost my son 2019. I am doing at least one of your yoga nidra practices per day the past 1,5 years. It has helped me so much in my pain and grief. You are a lifesaver Alley❤️
Thank you Ally for helping me to reset for 2023 with this beautiful sankalpa practice. I always welcome the beauty of your guides and the encouragement for rest and stillness in my life❤
So glad I found you. There are no coincidences. I have nervous system dysfunction. And I was experiencing tachycardia and wanted to find a meditation on RU-vid and on the homepage your yoga Nidra meditation was recommended! I did this meditation and my heart rate slowed down I feel more relaxed and I'm going to make this a regular practice. I sense your energy, it is pure and full of love. I'm excited to explore your entire channel. Lots of love. ❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️
Thank you so much Ally for this beautiful gift of a nidra to start 2023 💖🙏🏻 so peaceful and powerful to reconnect and refresh my sankalpa of bringing loving kindness from within myself and rippling towards humanity. Sending you much love 💖
Thank you so much for your mediations! Is there a chance you could make mediations targeting a chronic illness? Migraines, vulvodynia, different conditions that people struggle with…. I love the nidras when you focus more on the pelvic floor etc so thought to ask if it was possible to focus on body parts for those of us who really struggle each day with unexplained pain. Thank you!
Beautiful practice , love the palm heart breath. So beautiful. I fell back to sleep after it ! My sankalpa is to examine my beliefs at the root of all of my actions and realise that some are imposed by others society family dynamic etc and are not true. This Year I am True. I believe in Myself , I am proud of myself I am enough ! Thanks Ally , you’re amazing 😊
Amazing, as always! Thank you thank you thank you for the continued free best medicine on the planet! You are an angel to us all. Love, light, aloha, and coherence to you and yours and all things in the world 🌎 ♥️ 🌟
i'm new to yoga nidra, but i wanted to just say thank you for cultivating such a beautiful practice! what a wonderful start to the new year 💖 this year, I'm trying to call in material abundance. but the main reason i want this is so i have the means to get out of a situation that is no longer aligned with my soul, find my community, and live each day as my fullest expression of love. so my sankalpa is that every action i take is aligned with creation and love, i attract all that i need to take care of myself and others. 🦋 thank you for such a moving and restful session, ally! sending lots of love your way 🌙
Thank you Ally! Feeling so blessed to have Yoga Nidra in my life and to be guided by your kindness and wisdom. Namaste and "may blessings fall like blossoms around you" ( Rumi) 🙏
Clare, I can't believe I've never heard this Rumi quote... I LOVE IT. Thank you for being here and practicing with me. I appreciate you being a part of our Nidra community very much 😊💜
Thank you for joining me Jamie! And I appreciate your generosity so much. These contributions allow me to spend more time creating resources like this one, I have a little family to support so sometimes I am focused on other income-generating activities, it's donations like this that make a huge difference to being able to create and put more energy into this channel. It's extremely helpful so thank you from the bottom of my heart. 💜
@@SarovaraYoga you are most welcome! I know it is small and youtube is often see as "free." But I know the investment of time and energy that you put into these practices. I am so grateful for all it. I am happy to continue to support you and show my gratitude. Happy New Year to you and yours!
My sankalpa for this year is "I refuse to flee from the present moment" - I can choose to leave the present moment but it will be my decision, not a habit. Thank you
12/31/22 I am radiating peace from within myself. Thank you for sharing your gift with us over and over again. Practising with you has become a necessity in my every day. I am beyond grateful to have found you. Happy new year! Namaste 🙏
Happy New Year to you and your family Ally. This is a beautiful and deeply moving practice, my heart is full of joy and peace which I take forward into the new year to cultivate for myself and radiate out into the world 🌎 May everyone experience the life-changing blessings of Yoga Nidra 🙏💗💗
Caroline!!! So happy to see your name here in the comments. Thank you for this heartwarming shaer. May you have a peaceful, happy, healthy new year 💜 see you on a live call soon!
❤ so relaxing and deeply restful. Loved the palm to palm breathing - I could sense and see this happening in my mind. Sending peace and light to you for 2023 🙏 YTT
Sue!!! So excited to see your name come up here in the comments. Excited to connect with you on a live call soon as we dive into the heart centre this month! Wishing you a happy, healthy, peaceful 2023 💜😊
Thank you for this video. I've started my New Years' Eve morning fully relaxed and focused thanks to your video. Mine is "I am healed in all ways so that I can be here fully for myself and my family"
