Hi,

I'm Fiona from Blue Rin Yoga and I'm going to guide you through a relaxing yoga nidra.

Firstly,

Find a comfortable,

Quiet spot.

You can lay down,

Find a comfortable seat,

Whatever feels good for you.

As I guide you through the body awareness,

I want you to bring awareness to the parts of your body as I speak.

Just gently relax them.

Okay,

Let's get started.

Let your shoulders,

Let the muscles in your face relax.

There's nothing else to do for just a few minutes.

There's nothing else to be,

Nowhere else to be.

So gently bring awareness to the right side of your body,

Your right thumb,

Your forefinger,

Your middle finger,

Your ring finger and your small finger.

Palm of the hand,

Back of the hand,

Your wrist,

Lower arm,

Elbow,

Upper arm,

Shoulder,

Right side body,

Your waist,

Your right thigh,

Your knee,

Half,

Your right foot,

Big toe,

Second toe,

Third toe,

Fourth,

And your finger.

Gently bring awareness to the whole right hand,

Breathe.

The left side of your body,

Your left thumb,

Your forefinger,

Your middle finger,

Your ring finger and small finger.

Palm of the hand,

Back of the hand,

Your wrist,

Your left lower arm,

Your elbow,

Your upper arm,

Your shoulder,

Your waist,

Your left side body,

Your left thigh,

Your left knee,

Your left calf,

Your left foot,

Your big toe,

Your second toe,

Third toe,

Fourth toe and your fifth toe.

Bring awareness to the whole left side of the body and breathe here.

Bring your awareness to the back of your body,

Heel,

Backs of the legs,

Pull back,

Back of the hand,

You're feeling grounded and supported,

Breathe,

Hold that.

Bring your awareness to your head,

Crown of the head,

Forehead,

Eyes,

Nose,

Eyebrows,

Space between the eyebrows,

Your lips,

Your chin,

Bring awareness to the small muscles of your face,

Letting them go,

Breathe here.

Bring your awareness to your throat,

Your chest,

Your heart,

Pausing here,

And love to yourself,

Your stomach,

Tops of the legs,

The feet,

Gently bring awareness to all front body,

Breathe here.

Bring your awareness to your whole body,

Gently breathe whole body,

Bring your awareness back to your breath,

Stay here for a minute and sun as you gently bring awareness back to your fingers,

Back to your toes,

Slowly rolling over to the right when you're ready and sitting up when you're ready or being present in your room.

Hands come together in prayer to finish,

Kind thoughts,

Kind words,

Kind heart.

Namaste.
