Yoga Nidra

A Sanctuary of Deep Rest for Body & Soul

 (Online)

Yoga Nidra is a meditative practice that not only produces a profound state of relaxation in the mind and body, but at a deeper level is a practice of slowly transforming the beliefs and feelings that keep us stuck in negative patterns of self-doubt, anxiety, and fear.   

Rest, Restore and Dream

Yoga Nidra at its essence is a practice of deep and conscious rest, where we are invited to slow down and turn inwards away from our constant need to do and achieve. We take time to lie down, to rest, and extend loving kindness to our bodies, allowing energy to naturally flow to areas of the body most in need of rejuvenation and healing, helping to shed layers of tension, fatigue, and pain. 


Yoga Nidra means “yogic sleep.”  It is “sleep with a trace of awareness.” 
When we practice Yoga Nidra, we enter a state where the body is so relaxed it receives the benefits of deep sleep, yet the mind remains awake in a state of calm clear awareness between wakefulness and dreaming. In this relaxed state, we’re able to dip down beneath the surface of our thoughts, and listen to the glimmers of insight or “soul whispers” that arise. 


Ultimately, Yoga Nidra is a practice of remembering who we truly are, so we can live and act from this place of loving awareness

“When we allow ourselves to rest and relax, healing becomes possible.  There is no true healing, without true rest.”

---Thich Nhat Hanh

    “When I was trying to conceive, I turned to Vickie for private sessions. After several failed attempts, Vickie’s spiritual counselling, deep presence, and tailored approach made a significant impact. Her guidance, tools, and practices helped me tremendously. Now, as I go through my pregnancy, she is continuing to offer support, with breathing, gentle stretching, and emotional and spiritual guidance. I truly believe Vickie’s support is playing a key role in this transformative and challenging journey to become a mother.”

    "Before starting Yoga Nidra and Spiritual Direction with Vickie, I was struggling but couldn’t seem to get to the bottom of it. In the face of depression, anxiety, grieving, and the unknown, I kept trying to distract myself with work, my kids, my parents, etc. Of course, keeping myself too busy didn’t work. It wasn’t until I discovered the deep rest and relaxation of Yoga Nidra, that I finally began to feel better. Now I find myself wanting to conquer the world to make up for lost time!"
