Yoga Nidra ​

Deep Relaxation for Positive Change 

What is Yoga Nidra?
Yoga Nidra is an ancient meditation that is performed entirely while resting in a reclined, supported, posture. You are systematically guided from fight-or-flight response into relaxation response where healing and restoration in both the body and mind can occur. Also known as "Yogic Sleep", Yoga Nidra can take you to the restful state between wakefulness and sleep, the alpha-theta threshold, where deep relaxation and rejuvenation take place. 

How does it work?
While comfortably resting, you are systematically guided by Melinda's voice on a journey through different stages of relaxation including body sensory, breath awareness and guided visualization.

​     Not many years ago, I found myself depleted by the circumstances of my life; I was physically and mentally exhausted from the debilitating effects of situational depression and anxiety. 

     After trying Western healing methods including; talk therapy and medication, I found myself being drawn towards a more holistic approach to healing. This led me to numerous years of self-study which included the research and self-experimentation of holistic healing approaches for managing anxiety, depression and codependency. Additionally, my studies and expertise expand into the areas of mindfulness, positive psychology, happiness and law of attraction.

     During this time of self-study, I experimented with many healing modalities, one of which was Yoga Nidra. In a very short time my whole life began to transform, seemingly effortlessly, right before my eyes. Disruptive patterns and habits began to fall away and were replaced with more constructive ones, and positive, lasting, change began to take place. It is through my own journey of healing  and transformation that  I felt the call to share this practice, and others, with my students.     

     It is my passion and purpose to draw upon my own personal experiences and knowledge as I aid individuals in the process of embracing their own journey of healing. With a background in psychology, yoga and meditation, I have successfully molded my interests into a unique experience that is designed to assist individuals on their path of transformation and healing, while bringing about positive changes and improving the quality of their life.
