In this live recording of our Lammas Gathering, I guide a gentle yoga nidra practice to align with the energy of this season - the midway point between Summer and Autumn.

Lammas is a time of gathering, reflection and gratitude - honouring what has grown in our lives over the Summer season.

So go ahead and set yourself up in your yoga nidra cocoon, using as many props and supports as you need to feel cozy and comfortable (cushions, blankets, eye pillow etc), put on your favourite relaxation music and allow the sound of my voice to guide you.

Some optional questions for reflection/journaling:

• What has come into fruition in my life so far this year?

• What currently nourishes me the most?

• What abundance already exists in my life that I may have overlooked?

• What simple pleasures ground me right now?

During this 25-minute yoga nidra journey, you’ll be guided to relax fully and create space for clarity and calm, aligning with Virgo’s grounded and nurturing energy.

Duration: 25 minutes
Setting the space: Yoga mat (optional), blanket, pillow or bolster, eye pillow (optional)

This Yoga Nidra practice draws inspiration from the night sky, using star constellations as symbolic anchors to guide you through layers of deep rest, inner awareness, and elemental connection. Each constellation becomes a point of focus, inviting stillness, spaciousness, and a sense of wonder as you journey inward.

Rooted in the sacred practice of ‘Tara’s Yoga Nidra of Elemental Integration’ from Yoni Shakti by Uma Dinsmore-Tuli, this guided meditation honors the cyclical, feminine rhythms of nature and the cosmos. Through visualization, body awareness, and the subtle breath, we open a pathway to profound relaxation and inner harmony.

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.

Welcome to this winter-inspired Yoga Nidra practice, a gentle invitation to slow down, soften, and tune into the quiet, nurturing energy of this season. Winter calls us inward, offering the perfect space for deep rest, reflection, and restoration.

As you prepare for this practice, take a few moments to create a cozy, supportive space, perhaps with warm blankets, cushions, or soft lighting. Allow yourself to be fully held and comfortable, so you can truly surrender into rest.

In this guided journey, we’ll explore the magic of winter’s stillness, inviting deep relaxation, inner warmth, and a sense of quiet renewal.

No effort is needed, just lie back, listen, and allow yourself to receive.

Welcome to this Yoga Nidra practice, where we will gently journey through the Five Koshas, the ancient yogic model describing the five layers or “sheaths” that make up our human experience.

Originating in Indian philosophy, the Koshas provide a beautiful framework to explore and understand ourselves on multiple levels, from the physical body to the deepest sense of joy and bliss.

During this practice, you will be guided to connect with each Kosha in turn:

1. Annamaya Kosha - The Physical Sheath, our tangible body

2. Pranamaya Kosha - The Vital Energy Sheath, the breath and life force

3. Manomaya Kosha - The Mental Sheath, thoughts and emotions

4. Vijnanamaya Kosha - The Wisdom Sheath, intuition and insight

5. Anandamaya Kosha - The Bliss Sheath, the core of our joy and peace

Allow yourself to relax fully as we explore these layers, nurturing a deeper connection to your whole self - body, mind, and spirit.

This Yoga Nidra practice is designed to guide you into a state of conscious awareness during deep relaxation, helping to ease both physical tension and mental restlessness that can interfere with restful sleep.

Through gentle guidance, you will cultivate calmness, release stress, and invite a peaceful state of mind that supports restorative rest.

Perfect for anyone looking to wind down and reset, this practice encourages patience and kindness towards yourself on your journey to better sleep.
