you are the eye of the storm
An online Yoga Nidra Ceremony series to connect with your rooted self in uncertain times
This seasonal offering includes
3 VIRTUAL Small Group Yoga Nidra Ceremony Journeys (September-November)
1 VIRTUAL or IN-PERSON LA 1:1 Integrate + Nourish Session with Abby (December)
What is Yoga Nidra?
Yoga Nidra is both a guided meditation technique and the state of total peace that the practice brings you to.
“Ni” can be roughly translated from Sanskrit to “Void” with “Dru” meaning “to draw forth from”. This practice is a deep trip to the Void & back. This ceremony itself takes place entirely laying down.
As your physical body is guided into rejuvenating rest, you remain awake + aware: Your brain waves slow, your body opens, and you descend down and into your subconscious. This gives you the opportunity to connect with your True self + unmasked energy, and that still, unchanging part of you that you can lean on amidst the storms of change.
This is
for you if…
It’s a challenge for you to carve out time to slow down + connect with yourself
You are feeling overwhelmed by the changing state of societal structures
You want to connect to a deeper reserve of nourishment + resource inside of yourself
You want to give your body the gift of rest + care this season
You are open to believing in rest as resistance, as your birthright
You want to experience a greater trust in yourself and your life

Session 1
TRUST YOUR DESCENT
(September 28, 12-2pmPST)
You start to notice it: How the days are shorter, the nights are longer. Maybe you feel it, the call to go down + in. You might resist it - or you might follow it. We’re going to follow it.
In the eye of the storm, the air is heavier, creating the effect of clearer skies. In a culture addicted to fast paced growth & ascension, many of us carry quiet fears of darkness, distrusting the weighty Yin energy that guides us deep within, when that is precisely the energy needed to sustain us. We will open by exploring a greater trust in this energy that can support our unfolding all season long through a long, dark + quiet Yoga Nidra into your depths and low + slow embodied movement.
session 2
you are supported
(November 2, 12-2pmPST)
Trees with deeper root systems are much more likely to withstand storms because their foundation anchors them even when winds rage in the eye wall.
Here we take a sensory deep dive into Your Team (your body, the earth, plant allies, ancestors, any higher power you are connected to) during a time of year when some spiritual traditions believe the veil between our world and the spirit one is thin to feel into your deep support system. You will receive a dream-like Yoga Nidra, a practice to continue to explore the relationship with your team, and educational resources to deepen your journey.
SESSION 3
NEUTRALITY NAP
(November 23rd 12-2pmpst)
Our final session will be simple, but potent. This session will focus on unhooking from drama + dopamine and learning to lean on the nourishment of Neutrality + Nothingness. Many of us are dependent or even addicted to cortisol, where the thing we actually turn to for energy hits (scrolling, spinning on drama in our lives) is the very thing depleting us.
We often identify with the storm, with the highs and lows, instead of allowing the weather to pass through. Restorative practices become practices of sobriety, of resting in the calm center. This can be particularly useful as holiday season unfolds around us, which carries charge for many of us. This will include restorative shapes, our final quiet Yoga Nidra and send off.

Why now,
why Nidra
The practice of Yoga Nidra, of journeying to the Void + back (particularly when I’m caught up in a storm), has completely rooted me in my life in a way I didn’t even think was possible. I didn’t know I could feel as safe & still within myself as I do these days - a direct result of devotion to this practice and place of Yoga Nidra (Void, Eye of the Storm, whatever you call it).
I have been facilitating Yoga Nidra journeys for quite some time, but I am interested in this one being a bit different: Intimately online, with you at home, oriented towards exploring trust in this still, descended place of rest for myself while following the framework of teachings I have studied and experienced over the years.
My intention is to go deep, with very little effort from you (in fact, that’s the whole point) but a whole lot of reward (deep system nourishment, daily practices to explore, art to be made, etc).
It feels more important than ever as the disorienting storms of uncertainty on a micro level (in our lives) and on a macro level (on the global stage) rage, to carve out a pocket, an oasis, a retreat of rest once a month can send a bat signal to your system that you are here, even in the craziest moments. And trust me, human - we need you here, grounded, embodied, and connected to deep Truth.
Do you feel it?
