In dieser Episode lade ich dich ganz herzlich ein mit mir auf eine Yoga Nidra Reise zu gehen.

Yoga Nidra ist eine Praxis, die dir hilft deinen Körper zu entspannen und deinen Geist zu nähren um nachhaltige Transformation auf allen Ebenen deines Seins zu erfahren. Die yogische Technik wirkt Stress, innerer Imbalance und Unruhe entgegen und unterstützt dich dabei in nur kurzer Zeit wieder in deine Mitte zu finden- 30 Minuten Yoga Nidra wirken wie 3-4 Stunden Schlaf.

Ich persönlich empfehle Yoga Nidra mindestens 3x die Woche zu praktizieren. Für Menschen mit viel Stress: TÄGLICH.
