YOGA NIDRA
guided by Abby M. Geyer

Yoga Nidra is a state of conscious deep relaxation where the mind stays awake but the body goes into a very deep relaxation. Yoga Nidra is one of the deepest of all meditations, allowing one to experience a state of supreme stillness and insight, calmness and sense of clarity.
Yoga Nidra is very profound – you do not want to miss this!

(It is suggested you not drink any liquids for at least one hour before experiencing yoga nidra)
