yoga nidra: flowing with the current of life
During this 38-minute practice of yoga nidra, we explore sensations of body and energy. Then we settle back, allowing ourselves to simply be carried by the current of life.
yoga nidra: on being here
We begin our practice here. Here, where we have always been. Here, where we will remain. Here, where we sense body, breath, emotions and thoughts. Here, where we rest.
yoga nidra: living the mystery
Using the five elements as a frame, we explore sensorially the contradictions of life. How is it that we can feel simultaneously dense and diaphanous? Spacious and solid? Irritable and uplifted? Infinite and defined? What a mystery it is.
yoga nidra: watching the show
Watching the show of our lives as if it is being performed on a grand stage, we alternate between identifying with the various characters playing their roles and resting as wide open availability; the simultaneity of observing and acting,being both engaged and detached.
video: guided breath sensing practice
A short practice on sensing the flow of breath between the heart centre and the dvādaśānta. Wherever you may be, whatever you may be doing, cast your attention into the dvādaśānta.

yoga nidra: who am I without my story?
Following a thorough exploration of body and breath sensations, as well as those associated with emotional states, we inquire into the various identities we assume such as our age, gender, occupation, personality characteristics, etc. and that which remains when they fall away.
yoga nidra: oceanic stillness
This 30-minute practice offers a pathway for reconnecting with the oceanic stillness underlying all surface turbulence. The sound quality is not perfect. Such is life.
yoga nidra: a body inquiry
A 40-minute practice centered on exploring subtler and subtler layers of sensation in the body. It includes an investigation of a contrasting pair, one that feels pleasant or comfortable and one that does not; meeting them both with neutrality and curiosity. What if it is all OK?
yoga nidra: kindness
We approach the practice with an attitude of kindness while we explore the feeling of this “I” who grasps hold of sensations, emotions and thoughts, claiming them to be its own. We notice, as well, that this “I” feeling is often not present and, in its absence, the ground of being simply Is.
