You’ve probably tried to relax before and found your body just wouldn’t cooperate.

This practice is different.

We’re not asking you to relax.
We’re giving your nervous system something it actually understands —
direct physiological signals of safety.

Through vagal toning, body rotation, and extended exhale breathing
woven into a 20-minute yoga nidra —
your nervous system receives what it’s been waiting for.

All you have to do is lie down and receive.

Let’s figure this out together.

─────────────────────────────

IN THIS PRACTICE:
→ Humming for vagal tone — directly stimulates your vagus nerve
→ Extended exhale breathing — shifts you from fight or flight into rest
→ Full body rotation — grounds your nervous system through awareness
→ Sankalpa — plant a seed intention at the deepest level of rest
→ Visualization — gentle imagery to dissolve mental chatter
→ Guided return — emerge feeling restored, not groggy

⏰ TIMESTAMPS:
0:00 Introduction & how to settle
2:00 Settling — arriving in the body
4:00 Vagal toning — humming practice
7:30 Body rotation — nervous system grounding
13:00 Sankalpa — seed intention
15:00 Visualization
17:30 Extended exhale return
19:00 Gentle return to waking
