Yoga Nidra & Beyond | Ayla Nova

Yoga Nidra for healing and better sleep: a guided practice to meet what you have been carrying with honesty instead of blame, and let the body soften into rest.

This New Moon practice is an invitation to make peace with what has been left unfinished. The words never said, the choices you would unmake, the part of it that was yours. There is nothing here to repair. Through a rotation of consciousness, breath awareness, and a Ho'oponopono journey of the heart — I'm sorry, please forgive me, thank you, I love you — you're welcome to loosen the grip of self-blame and simply witness what is here.

If your heart feels heavy or sleep has felt far away, this is a place to rest. You may drift to sleep... you'll still receive many of the benefits.

✨ Sankalpa suggestions for this practice
For Loving Acceptance: I am kind. I am loving awareness. I am true to my heart.
For Harmony: I am calm to my core. I am at peace. I am in harmony.
For Release: I am free. I am whole. I am caring.

Yoga Nidra for burnout and nervous system regulation: a guided practice to put down what has become too heavy to carry and let the body remember how to rest.

This Full Moon practice is an invitation to recognize what has reached completion. The cycles you've moved through, the weight you've been holding, the emotions asking to be felt. There is nothing here to solve. Through a rotation of consciousness, breath awareness, and a kaleidoscope journey of mind, heart and soul, you're welcome to soften the harshness you may have brought into your own thoughts and simply witness what is here.

If you've been pushing beyond your capacity, this is a place to rest. You may drift to sleep — you'll still receive many of the benefits.

✨ Sankalpa suggestions for this practice
*For Complete Rest:* I am rested. I am whole. I am enough.
*For Dissolution:* I soften. I release. I surrender.
*For Integration:* I am present. I am complete. I am home.

New Moon Yoga Nidra for Trust & Manifestation | a deeply restful guided practice to calm the nervous system and meet the version of you who already became.

The new moon offers a night without reflected light, and in that darkness, the stars become easier to see. In this Yoga Nidra, you're invited to rest beyond who you are becoming and sense the one who crossed the threshold:
the future you who learned what you are still learning, and who looks back at this moment with knowing.

Together we move through the koshas, settling the physical body, breath, beliefs and emotions, before a gentle visualization where you may recognize the qualities of your future self already alive within you. You're welcome to drift into sleep and still receive the benefits of this practice.

Full Moon Yoga Nidra 🌕 | A Ritual in Rest for Release, Renewal & Nervous System Calm

This Full Moon Yoga Nidra is a ritual in rest... a guided practice for slowing down, listening inward, and meeting whatever feels illuminated beneath the light of the full moon.

If you notice yourself feeling more emotionally full, restless, energized, sensitive, or pulled between calm and chaos during this part of the lunar cycle, this practice offers a place to land it all.

🌙 5 States of Rest: https://www.skool.com/novanidracommunity/about
🎓 Nova Nidra Teacher Training — apply today: https://www.aylanova.com/peaceinrestprogram/teach

Guided by Ayla Nova, this Yoga Nidra and Non-Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR) practice moves through breath, body, awareness, and the emotional polarity of calm and chaos — inviting you to experience both without needing to fix, suppress, or hold onto either.

The full moon has long been used as a symbolic moment for reflection, culmination, release, and renewal. Rather than asking you to do more, this ritual invites you to lie down.

To rest. To notice what has become clear. To feel what is ready to be acknowledged.

And perhaps, to release what no longer needs to travel with you into the next cycle.

🌕 Let rest become the ritual.

You do not need to force yourself into calm. You do not need to eliminate the chaos.
Yoga Nidra invites you to witness both and discover the awareness spacious enough to hold them.

50:28 Closing Words & Return

✦ What to expect:
— A Full Moon ritual experienced entirely through rest
— Full-body rotation of consciousness for deep relaxation
— Breath awareness to settle into the energetic body
— Emotional polarity practice exploring calm and chaos
— Space for reflection, release, and renewal
— Guided visualization beneath the light of the full moon
— Sankalpa, your heartfelt intention, woven into the practice
— A gentle return into the next phase of your lunar cycle

✧☽ Mental Emotional Body: Calm & Chaos

Can you feel calm without needing to hold onto it?
Can you experience chaos without becoming consumed by it?
Within Yoga Nidra, opposites can be experienced as changing states rather than permanent truths. You are invited to witness the movement between them and rest in the awareness beneath both.

✧☽ After the Practice
Before getting up, notice what remains.

What has become illuminated?
What feels complete?
What are you ready to release?
And what would you like to carry intentionally into the cycle ahead?

There is nothing you need to resolve tonight. Let the practice continue unfolding in its own time.
If something became clear to you during your Full Moon Yoga Nidra, share your reflection below.

Your words may help someone else recognize something within themselves.

This practice is offered as a space for rest, meditation, and gentle self-inquiry and is not a substitute for medical or mental health care. Everything within the practice is an invitation.

Move at your own pace and leave out anything that does not feel supportive today.

Perfect for a Full Moon meditation, Full Moon ritual, Yoga Nidra for release, emotional release, nervous system regulation, intention setting, deep rest, Sankalpa practice, lunar meditation, and NSDR.

Yoga Nidra for Sleep, Grief & Anxiety | NSDR to calm insomnia, racing thoughts, and a broken heart.

This 52-minute Yoga Nidra is for insomnia, for waking in the dark and not settling back down, and for the stress and dread that hits before you're even out of bed. It's for grief... a breakup, a divorce, losing someone you loved... and for the anxiety that won't let go. Guided by Ayla Nova, this Non-Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR) practice moves through breath, body, and heart to calm your nervous system and guide you back toward rest.

This is a space to soothe the heart and quiet the mind. Calm has two doors: sometimes you return through one small action, sometimes by letting things unfold in their own time. You only need to rest... the door will show itself.

If this practice carries you back to sleep, that's the deepest wish behind it.
