In this episode, Tessa and Julia discussed the technique of Yoga Nidra relaxations within circle time: (see links to FREE yoga nidra tracks below)

- Useful settling technique in circle

- Can be used for all different audiences (e.g. pregnancy, kids, perimenopause, fatigue

- The participants can lie down or sit for this technique and should be as comfortable as possible

- The facilitator stays sitting and alert to deliver the nidra - for the training you do not need to be a yoga teacher

- There are different components in a nidra including body mapping, opposite qualities, setting an intention and themes can run throughout, including visualisations.

- You can find scripts to read out, but this does not have the same effect as a nidra you have created yourself and are delivering without reading (bullet points are fine as a reminder)

- Yoga nidras can vary in length and provide a boost to energy

- Circle facilitation can also support your movement / meditation classes: to check-in without the talking taking over the session, build connections, get feedback about practices and check out before the end of the session
