Yoga Nidra at Omega - Self-Compassion - Nicole Sachs Freedom from Chronic Pain Retreat (NSDR) 

The recording of the live-streamed Yoga Nidra (or NSDR No Sleep Deep Rest) class lead by Dani Fagan for Nicole Sachs' Freedom from Chronic Pain retreat on 4th August 2021 at the Omega Institute for Holistic Studies in Rhinebeck New York.
Yoga Nidra is part of my regular live classes schedule in my Yoga for TMS program for the chronic pain community: mytmsjourney.com/yoga/ - If you've never tried it before, it's basically a long immersive style of meditation, involving visualisation, awareness techniques, embodiment and intention setting affirmation called a 'Sankalpa'.
I thought it would be a nice idea to share this as a taster of what goes on in my Nidra classes. This class is considered a Level 0 class, where there is no sitting, standing or significant movement going on at all, just lie comfortably and enjoy.
This class is for fully surrendering the body and mind, for winding down, and taking a deep dive into a dreamlike state, yet still conscious and aware to absorb the healing benefits of the practice, allowing the nervous system to settle gently into full-on rest and repair (if you can stay awake that is!) Ideal for anyone experiencing problems moving, sitting or just wants a fully immersive meditation experience.
Grab your headphones, find a warm and comfortable spot to lie down, prop some pillows under your knees and head and just listen. Perfect to practice in bed.
To find out more about the yoga classes I offer to the chronic pain/TMS community, focusing on deeply relaxing the nervous system, getting back to gentle movement without fear (one of Dr Sarno's main TMS recovery principles) and cultivating self-compassion in a safe space - go to mytmsjourney.com/yoga/book-a-... to check out the live schedule and on-demand videos available.
A Deeply Healing Practice for TMS
My students are reporting big shifts in their mindset, their ability to cultivate patience and self-compassion, reduction in symptoms and anxiety. And an overall renewed sense of hope and strength from the community we're building around this practice. Check out some of the reviews here, this is not a work out class, it's so much more than movement! mytmsjourney.com/yoga/reviews/
