FAQ
What is a Sankalpa and why should I use it?

Sankalpa can be used as a way to liberate limiting beliefs we may have about ourselves. It is a short and sweet affirmation. In fact, I would say the simpler, the more potent. My recordings will suggest some to choose from, but if you have one you are already working with, feel free to use it. Some Sankalpa examples are: I am healing. I am valid, I am whole, or I am loved.
Feel into what you need the most, work with it for a while, and notice how it evolves within you.
We use it twice in practice. In the beginning and hen again towards the end of the practice to integrate it with your subconscious while in the state of Yoga Nidra.
Do I need any special gear to practice?

No need to go out and buy any fancy props or gear. Some of us may want to use a blanket, an eye covering, and a pillow under the knees. These are all things you may already have at home.
Some may need extra support to find comfort, like carefully placed blocks or bolsters. They can be wonderful to use for those who are pregnant, or working with other physical requirements that make lying on your back difficult.
What if I fall asleep?

It is said that you will get whatever it is you need from the practice. If you tend to fall asleep, it might mean that you need more sleep. If you want to try to stay aware in the practice, try setting up a dedicated space for yoga nidra that is not where or when you usually sleep. Lying on a mat on the floor instead of your bed may help in staying awake.
Likewise, you may find the practice opens up once you get more rest on a regular basis.
Is there a recommended time of day to practice?

You can practice at any time of day, some of us may only be able to at certain times and that is OK. Remain open and curious of trying different times to see how they may change how you experience the magic of yoga nidra. So, if you tend to practice in the evening, try switching it up and practice in the morning or afternoon.
Because Yoga Nidra is an awareness while transitioning into sleep, a potent time to practice can be during times of transition during the day. Like dawn, dusk, midday, or midnight.
When you have downloaded a recording you can experiment and practice whenever and as often as works best for you. Remain open and curious.
