Winter Solstice - Light of the Full Moon Yoga Nidra

The winter solstice is a reminder to honour our connection to the rhythm of nature. We can celebrate the change in seasons by honouring winter through rituals and self-care practices like Yoga Nidra.

Yoga Nidra is a guided relaxation practice that means ‘yogic sleep.’ The idea is that your body rests completely but your mind remains quietly alert. It’s a powerfully healing practice that can help relieve stress, anxiety, depression, fatigue and depletion.

Deep relaxation practices can help rest your nervous system on a profound level by engaging the rest, digest and repair response, which places you in a more receptive framework, balancing your stress response and therefore bringing your body-mind back into balance, allowing for deep healing and regeneration.

This full moon session includes a moonlight visualization to nourish some of the key glands of the hormonal system in order to promote optimal menstrual health, peri-menopausal and post-menopausal balance and vitality. Within this meditation, we’re softening into the feminine, feeling or imagining the connection between the heart-space and womb-space, awakening our feminine energy.

Join me as I guide you through this healing practice, celebrating winter solstice under the light of the full cold moon!

Prop Suggestions

For this practice, you can choose to lie down on the floor or in your bed. If you’re practicing on the floor, place a blanket or pillow underneath your head; a bolster (rolled blanket, bath or beach towel) underneath your knees; and a smaller roll underneath your ankles. Cover your body with a blanket for warmth, and place an eye cover (eye pillow, eye mask or hand towel) over your eyes.
