YOUR NICHE
I began practicing yoga nidra in my early 30s following diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis. It became a form of escapism from the daily pain, swelling, inflammation and exhausting fatigue and has since become a regular feature in my daily practice. Having experienced first hand how transformative this practice is, I was inspired to learn more so I could support others. Since training with Uma Dinsmore Tuli and Nirlipta Tuli of Total Yoga Nidra, I have had the honour of witnessing incredible changes in people from many walks of life. My yoga nidra work has supported people with a range of issues including recovery from cancer, PTSD, anxiety, insomnia, lowering blood pressure, supporting women on their fertility journey, during pregnancy, postnatally, as well as with children. The power of this practice never fails to amaze me.
