Yoga Nidra for Deep Rest and Better Sleep

Shift into Serenity

Join Kripalu faculty Jennifer Reis for this live online series entirely focused on finding deep rest and improving your sleep. Grounded in the wisdom of yoga with proven evidence-based research and adapted for modern life, Jennifer's yoga nidra guided meditation requires nothing but to lie down and listen, allowing you to experience a natural shift into parasympathetic relaxation mode.

Over the course of four weeks, Jennifer will guide you through gentle movement, self-massage techniques, learning new tools, and extended Divine Sleep® Yoga Nidra. You will:

Reduce mental, physical, and emotional stress.
Cultivate a greater sense of inner freedom and restoration.
Tap into new sources of energy.

This program is for anyone who wants to feel rested and renewed and discover a deeper sense of peace and serenity.

FAQs

Most are live on Zoom with opportunities to interact with teachers. Many also include recordings you can watch later for a set time (often 30 days), but not all—always check the program page.

If the program is recorded, you will have access to the video recording(s) for 30 days after the program ends. Recordings will be available within 72 hours of the end of each session.

A stable internet connection, Zoom access, and space to practice. For yoga/embodied programs, having a mat, props, or a chair is helpful, but not required.

Kripalu’s online programs team provides basic tech support by email before and during programs, though it’s best to test Zoom ahead of time. For additional support, please email onlinesupport@kripalu.org or you may leave a voicemail at 413.448.3495
