Discover the transformative power of Yoga Nidra with Anne Douglas, a trailblazer of this deeply restorative practice long before it was recently popularized through scientific research on non-sleep deep rest (NSDR). Anne has been practicing yoga and meditation for over three decades and teaching since 1989, having studied many hatha yoga approaches as well as Yogic and Buddhist Philosophy. Learn how the strategic guidance in this "sleep meditation" practice acts as a therapeutic tool for stress, anxiety and trauma by guiding individuals into deeply restorative brainwave states, helping to build vital energy and prana by skilfully directing our attention inward. Anne explores the five koshas (yogic energy sheaths or subtle bodies) from the gross physical to the more subtle realms of breath, energy and consciousness. We discuss how engaging these layers through Yoga Nidra enhances sensitivity and awareness, providing a roadmap for emotional balance and personal growth. Anne also examines the philosophical underpinnings of non-duality and how Yoga Nidra practice can guide us to directly realize our true essence on the path to enlightenment. Additionally, we consider the intriguing connections between Yoga Nidra and astral projection practices, and how to contextualize intention (sankalpa) in a Yoga Nidra meditation. Anne's sensitivity and compassion create a strong, safe container to nurture one’s ground of well-being. This episode invites you to embrace the stillness and quietude that Yoga Nidra can bring to your daily life, offering a window into the transformative potential of this ancient practice.

Anne Douglas is certified senior level yoga instructor (Kripalu RYT 500 and YAA 1000), C-IAYT Yoga Therapist, Holistic Lifestyle Coach, Yoga Nidra & Meditation Trainer and Retreat Leader. She offers advanced level studies for several yoga and meditation schools alongside private sessions, workshops and retreats.
