Inspired by Litha, the Summer Solstice, this yoga nidra practice invites you to rest in the fullness of light, warmth, and expansion. Rooted in the energy of the longest day of the year, this practice honors vitality, abundance, and the quiet power of stillness beneath the sun’s peak.

Through guided relaxation and visualization, you are gently led into a state between waking and sleep, where the body softens and the mind becomes receptive. Themes of solar energy, growth, and balance are woven throughout, encouraging you to absorb the nourishing qualities of summer while releasing excess effort, tension, or burnout.

This practice offers a space to reflect on what is flourishing in your life, to reconnect with inner radiance, and to ground expansive energy into a sense of steadiness and calm. As light reaches its height, yoga nidra provides a reminder that rest is not the opposite of productivity, but an essential partner to it.

Suitable for all levels, this Litha-inspired yoga nidra is ideal for times of transition, intention-setting, or simply reconnecting with warmth, clarity, and inner abundance.

• Please note if you are over 30 weeks pregnant, when practicing yoga nidra it is advised that you lie on your left side, supporting your head and knees with cushions or a bolster.
