40. Yoga Nidra Meditation with Adrienne

In this week's episode, Adrienne guides you through a Yoga Nidra Meditation inspired by last week's guest, Amanda. If you haven't listened to episode 39 yet, what are you waiting for?!Yoga Nidra or "yogic sleep" is a state of consciousness between waking and sleeping. Clinical studies have shown that Yoga Nidra meditation is associated with positive physiological changes, including improvements in several hematological variables, red blood cell counts, blood glucose levels, and hormonal status. In fact, one hour of Yoga Nidra equates to roughly 4 hours of deep REM sleep! Last week, Amanda opened up about how her "hot tears" in savasana had her coming back to her mat over and over again.  Now, Amanda is a beloved, full time Yoga teacher, where she specializes in serving people in various rehabilitation and mental health facilities throughout SATX.
