Sound & Yoga Nidra

There’s a difference between sleeping… and truly resting.

Sound & Yoga Nidra is a 75-minute immersive experience designed to guide your nervous system into profound stillness and support deeper, more restorative sleep. This collaboration blends the science-backed practice of Yoga Nidra with live sound healing to create a space where your body can release tension and your mind can finally soften.

This session is perfect if:

• You struggle with falling asleep
• You wake up during the night
• Your mind stays active even when your body is tired
• You crave intentional, structured rest

Yoga Nidra, often called “yogic sleep,” is a guided meditation practice that brings you into a state between wakefulness and sleep. You remain comfortably lying down while being verbally guided through specific stages of awareness.

Scientific research has shown that Yoga Nidra:

• Activates the parasympathetic nervous system (your “rest and digest” state)
• Reduces cortisol and stress markers
• Encourages alpha and theta brainwave activity (associated with deep relaxation and creativity)
• Improves sleep quality and reduces symptoms of insomnia
• Enhances emotional regulation and nervous system resilience

Unlike regular sleep, Yoga Nidra trains your brain to consciously enter deep rest. Many practitioners report that 30–45 minutes of Yoga Nidra can feel as restorative as several hours of conventional sleep.

Now imagine adding intentional live sound frequencies to that state.

This 75-minute session unfolds gently and intentionally:

Before we begin, tea and cacao will be served. This is completely optional.

You’re welcome to sip slowly, settle into the space, and allow your body to transition out of your busy day.

Grisel will guide you through a structured Yoga Nidra meditation specifically focused on improving sleep quality. Expect:

• A gentle body scan
• Breath awareness
• Nervous system regulation
• Subconscious relaxation techniques
• Intention setting for deep rest

Her guidance will help your brain shift toward slower frequencies while maintaining a thread of awareness.

As the body enters deeper states of stillness, live sound will weave through the experience. Instruments may include:

• Singing bowls
• Gongs
• Soft tonal layers
• Subtle harmonic textures

Sound frequencies can influence brainwave patterns through a process known as entrainment, encouraging the mind to synchronize with calming rhythmic vibrations. When paired with Yoga Nidra, this can amplify relaxation and deepen the experience of restorative rest.

This is not a performance.

It is an environment of vibration designed to hold you.

The space will be fully prepared for your comfort:

• Mats
• Blankets
• Pillows
• Eye masks

You don’t need to bring anything.

If you feel more comfortable with your own blanket, you’re welcome to bring it. Comfort supports nervous system safety — and safety supports deep rest.

This session is ideal for:

• Light sleepers
• Overthinkers
• Sensitive nervous systems
• Highly creative or high-performing minds
• Anyone who feels tired but wired

You do not need prior meditation experience.

You do not need flexibility.

You do not need to “be good at relaxing.”

You just need to lie down and allow yourself to receive.

Quality sleep impacts everything:

• Memory consolidation
• Hormonal balance
• Emotional processing
• Immune function
• Creativity and decision-making

When the nervous system never fully powers down, sleep becomes shallow. Practices like Yoga Nidra retrain the body to remember how to rest deeply.

This isn’t just about feeling calm for one evening.

It’s about teaching your body a new baseline.
