SMYL- A Skillful Mindful Yoga Life Practice

Hello and welcome. My name is Shana Marie, and this is a Yoga Nidra meditation for SMYL—Skillful Meditative Yoga Life. Today’s practice is inspired by the teachings of Swami Satyananda Saraswati and the timeless wisdom of the Dalai Lama. Together, we will journey through the subtle layers of the body and mind, nurturing a profound connection to inner peace, balance, and compassion. The Dalai Lama teaches us that true peace begins within, and this practice offers an opportunity to access the stillness and clarity that reside at the core of your being. Let us begin this journey inward with openness and curiosity.

Today, we will journey into the art of transformational rest, where deep relaxation meets the potential for personal growth. This practice is about surrendering into the present moment and allowing the power of rest to renew your mind, body, and spirit. Let’s explore the wisdom of stillness together - Shana Marie Stitzel
