I’m excited to embark on this journey of deep relaxation and inner peace with you. Here's everything you need to know to make the most of your experience.

Preparation:
#1 Set Up Your Comfort Zone:
Find a quiet, clean, and well-ventilated space where you won't be disturbed.
#2 Dress Comfortably:
Wear loose, breathable clothing, and consider layering for warmth.
#3 Gather Supportive Props:
Grab a yoga mat, a soft blanket, a cushion for your head and knees, and an eye mask to block out any light.
#4 Time Your Meals:
Try not to eat at least two hours before your session to avoid discomfort.
#5 Silence Distractions:
Set your phone to silent mode or move it to another room to avoid interruptions.
#6 Maintain a Cozy Room Temperature:
Extreme temperatures can be distracting, so keep it comfortable.
What to Expect:
Introduction: The coach will explain what Yoga Nidra is and what you can anticipate from the practice.
Comfortable Setup: You'll be guided to a quiet and cozy environment, where you can lie down and prepare for relaxation.
During the Practice:
Mindful Positioning: You'll lie on your back, with your arms at your sides, palms mostly facing up. Adjust your props and clothing for maximum comfort.
Listen Mindfully: Pay close attention to the coach's voice and follow their guidance. Let go of the need to control or analyze the process.
Stay Open-Minded: Be open to any experiences that arise, whether they are memories, emotions, or sensations.
Gradual Awakening: As the practice ends, the coach will guide you back to a state of wakefulness.
After the Practice:
Transition Slowly: Take your time to transition back into your daily routine — stretch, wiggle your fingers and toes, and when you're ready, sit up slowly.
Journal Your Experience: Consider keeping a journal to record your experiences and insights. It's a great way to track your progress and get to know yourself better.
Enjoy your session and the journey of Yoga Nidra.
Stay well and centered.
