Hi! I'm Kit.

Join me virtually over the course of four days for prerecorded practices. Over the course of our time together you’ll experience three rejuvenating yoga nidra sessions. 

When you sign up, you’ll receive a free  loving kindness meditation and access to all four videos for a whole week! Each video lasts 20 minutes so you’ll have plenty of time to enjoy the experience.

Yoga Nidra, known as “yogic sleep”, is a practice that has been used to reduce stress, sharpen focus, and refresh the mind and body. This practice is the halfway point between active yoga and meditation. It’s perfect for those who feel like they can’t “turn off their mind” because the active focus of yoga nidra keeps you mentally alert and active while still gaining the restorative effects of a meditative practice. 

I’m a certified yoga and meditation teacher passionate about helping neurodivergent, queer, chronically ill, and/or disabled individuals tune into their bodies and reclaim not just the mental health and physical benefits of these practices, but also the spiritual side that will help you connect with your true, divine nature. Liberation isn’t something to hope for; it’s something to embody right now, and I’d love to guide you along this path.

Video 1

Our first session will be an introduction to yoga nidra. I’ll share a bit about the practice to make sure that you’re prepared for the next few days. We’ll set our sankalpa, which is a Sanskrit term that means “heartfelt desire” for the remaining three days of the retreat. And I’ll share a loving kindness meditation that incorporates your sankalpa so you’ll begin to focus on it right away. Not sure what you’ll want to set as a sankalpa? Don’t worry. I’ll include a free worksheet with examples and thoughtful questions designed to guide you before we begin.

Each day you’ll experience a yoga nidra session focusing on your sankalpa. We’ll also spend a few minutes at the end of each session talking about how to incorporate your sankalpa into your daily activities to help keep the benefits going in between yoga nidra sessions.

Benefits of Yoga Nidra

Why should you participate in this retreat? Because yoga nidra has many great benefits.

  1. First, because you spend your time in a comfortable, relaxed pose, it’s great for those who may experience chronic pain, joint issues, or mobility issues. No bending or stretching required!
  2. Reduces stress and activates your parasympathetic nervous system (rest & digest system) to help create calm.
  3. Improves sleep quality.
  4. Boosts creativity.
  5. Improves memory and focus.
And if that’s not enough, then during this busy time of year, you owe it to yourself to take this time to relax and care for yourself. Recordings will be available so if you can’t make the live sessions

 

What will I need for the retreat?

Yoga nidra is most commonly done on a yoga mat. You’ll lay in savasana (corpse pose – on your back, arms and legs relaxed), so a pillow or cushion for your head is good. You may wish to have a blanket handy in case you get chilly, and you are welcome to use a rolled up blanket or bolster for your lower back or under your knees for comfort. You can also lay on a bed or sit in a recliner/comfortable chair, though some people report that doing so makes it easier for them to fall asleep during the practice.

Will I need any special technology?

Not at all. If you can view this webpage, you can “attend” the retreat.
