Self Care
YOGA NIDRA/RESTORATIVE YOGA
By Samantha Warren
Yoga Nidra is a guided practice where you will come into the place between awake and sleep, also known as the theta brainwave state. In this practice, you are guided to come into a place of relaxation and restoration simply by listening and breathing.
Perinatal: In this short perinatal yoga nidra audio recording, you are guided into a state of calm and restoration that will also bring calm and restoration to your growing baby. The stress and worry from all areas of your life don’t make pregnancy easy sometimes (and the wildness of your hormones, too!),so this is a self-care moment just for you and your baby that will leave you restored, relaxed and ready for the rest of your day.
Postnatal: In this quick postnatal yoga nidra session, you will be guided into a state of relaxation that will help you throughout your day. We know you’re tired and have so much going on, so this is a little treat for you so that you can be more present and relaxed with your baby as well as a beautiful act of self-care for yourself.
Restorative Yoga
Perinatal: Join me in this recording as we find beautifully supportive poses and shapes for our growing belly’s and a gentle release in our pelvic bowl. Use as many or as little props as feels appropriate and as always listen to your body’s needs and comfort - we’re here to find the ultimate comfort and relaxation during this session.
Props You’ll Need:
-2 blocks (or sub 3-4 blankets)
-2-3 blankets
-1 bolster (or sub 2-3 pillows)
-eye pillow optional
Postnatal: In this video, we begin with a gentle breathwork exercise followed by a few ultra relaxing and supportive shapes while also targeting some areas for a gentle stretch including the hips, the hip flexors and the back. Use as many or as little props as feels appropriate and as always listen to your body’s needs and comfort - we’re here to find the ultimate comfort and relaxation during this session.
Prop You’ll Need:
-2-3 blankets
-1 bolster (or sub 2-3 pillows)
-eye pillow optional
10 Mins: Sometimes we just need 10 minutes to just be. Whether you feel like resting, crying, screaming, just breathing, or even gentle stretches on your back, this is the video that will give you that.
Props You’ll Need:
-Whatever will make you comfortable: blankets, pillows, blocks, eye pillow. I love a bolster or pillow under my knees, a blanket or pillow under my head and a blanket on my chest. Sometimes I like an eye pillow to block out the light.
