Release Trapped Tension: 30 Min Somatics + 30 Min Yoga Nidra

Welcome to this 60-minute restorative reset designed to calm the nervous system, release deeply held physical tension, and return you to pure bodily ease.

We begin with 30 minutes of gentle somatics and intuitive yoga stretching—starting with intricate neck and shoulder unwinding, flowing into playful Sufi circles, hip openings, and spinal twists. In the second half, we transition completely onto the back for a 30-minute guided Yoga Nidra, planting a heartfelt sankalpa and moving through a complete rotation of consciousness to guide body and mind into effortless stillness.

In this practice:

- Gentle somatic neck & shoulder release

- Fluid Sufi spirals & gentle hip opening

- Mindful spinal twists & restorative postures

- Setting your Sankalpa (heartfelt intention)

- Full-body 61-point rotation of consciousness

- Root and branch breath visualization

- Resting in the still, dark pool of presence

Grab a yoga mat, a cushion or bolster if you like extra support under the hips, and a blanket to stay warm during the Nidra.

Enjoy the practice.
