52: YOGA NIDRA FOR SLEEP:
A Guided Journey Into Deep Rest

Posted by Christina Zipperlen on September 16, 2025

Discover how to drift gently into nourishing sleep with this calming Yoga Nidra practice designed to help your body, mind, and nervous system deeply restore.

In this guided Yoga Nidra session, Christina Zipperlen invites you into a state of conscious relaxation, often called Yogic Sleep. You’ll be led into stillness, softening, and surrender, allowing sleep to come naturally. This practice creates a safe, nurturing container where your body and mind can rest, your nervous system can reset, and your spirit can reconnect to its essence.

No prior experience is needed, only a quiet space where you can lie down and let go. Christina reminds us: “You are exactly where you need to be.”
