What is “deep rest yoga nidra”?
Yoga nidra is a fusion of Eastern and Western practices which take the brain into a deep rest state, between being awake and asleep. As many people don’t know this, I call it “deep rest” to make it more accessible. The process takes the mind into a state of consciousness where we can be free from the frazzle of daily stresses and can rest and relax our bodies and minds deeply. Deep rest yoga nidra in my classes has no religious elements and no chanting or physical yoga poses. This is guided deep, nourishing rest. It is similar to meditation but most people find it easier to access than traditional meditation. You don’t need any special clothes or to sit in a particular way. There is no “performance”, right or wrong way to practise, just the opportunity for your own experience to connect with yourself. Clients report feeling deeply replenished and as though they have been on holiday  – see testimonials page and instagram (search Katie Wheater Wellbeing).

Benefits of deep rest yoga nidra:

• Improved sleep
• Improved clarity, creativity and flow state 
• Awareness of your body and your own needs
• Feeling of calm and stillness, sense of perspective from daily stresses

What to expect in my in-person classes:
A warm welcome to our beautiful gently lit space. A few minutes to arrive in body and mind, with some guided journalling questions to help you get out of your head and into your body and really become aware of your own needs. Once we’ve noted down as much as we can to clear our minds, we get even cosier with blankets, pillows and cushions supporting your body to begin to let go of physical tension. The session can be experienced siting or lying down. We then begin the guided experience where I will talk you through a carefully curated session, suitable for beginners and experienced practitioners alike. Each session has a different theme, written by me, tailored to the group attending. It will include breathwork, visualisations, body scans and relaxation techniques. As we come back into a wakeful state, I will offer you a cup of tea and additional notes to help you get even more from your experience. You take home all your notes (we don’t share these) and afterwards receive a recording to listen to at your leisure.
