Non-Sleep Deep Rest Yoga Nidra (NSDR) is a Tool for De-Stress and Relaxation. This non sleep deep rest protocol is a technique recommended by Dr. Andrew Huberman. He talks about the evidence-based science that this tool for relaxation & wellness will help de-stress and calm the nervous system. Yoga Nidra is an effortless guided meditation that some would even call a sleep meditation that helps you go into the deepest states of rest and calms the mind while putting you into a deep state of relaxation.
Yoga Nidra is a guided meditation that uses a systematic method of inducing complete physical, mental and emotional relaxation. Dr. Huberman’s research from Stanford shows that this particular NSDR technique calms the nervous system and activates the parasympathetic (relaxation, rest & digest) response.
In this yoga Nidra guided meditation to relax you will be guided through a body scan to calm the nervous system, It’s a 30-minute yoga Nidra guided relaxation for stress relief. It’s a 30min yoga nidra script led by Ally Boothroyd of Sarovara Yoga that is perfect for stress management. Lay down, relax, rest, and meditate all at the same time!
This 30-minute yoga nidra with voice only aids in deep relaxation through the effortless guided meditation of nidra (sleep). When listening to the gentle female voice, let yourself relax and be guided into a deep state of effortless meditation. This meditation is designed to untangle and reduce stress and anxiety and calm the nerves over time.
This is a yoga Nidra style body scan to soothe the nerves. This yog nidra is a form of meditation that helps with insomnia, anxiety, stress, adrenal fatigue, PTSD and so much more.

You have probably saved my life Ally. Was left disabled and brain damaged from a hit and run few years ago. Found you by complete accident but maybe it was fate cos without you I wouldn’t still be here. After years of just operations and hospitals and homelessness and abuse post accident and a body full of morphine and every other pain killer known to man your Yoga Nidra and your calming voice is the only thing that takes everything away for a while. Takes me away from this prison I’m stuck in. I don’t have to be this person for a short while. I can escape. I apologise cos I’m not good at writing or anything much anymore but I will never be able to find the words to thank you and how much listening to you each day means to me and the impact it’s made on my life. Thank you doesn’t come close. Whatever day your having or whatever you may do in the future you can go to sleep at night knowing that you have done something truly remarkable for someone and something not many others can ever say and I mean that from the bottom of my heart. Wishing you all the health, happiness and success in the world. Thank you Ally

[@skyedawson6492]

I have 3 chronic illnesses. Yoga nidra has changed my life. Its the only practise that releases tense muscles, calms my brain and helps me sleep. It's a miracle

[@SarovaraYoga]

I feel you Skye!! It really is transformative.

[@user-xp1wq4gk7l]

I thought Andrew brought it up because he heard it from her. Lol

[@indiaameye1417]

Now I just press the "thumbs up" or like button, before I press play and rest. Thank you :)

[@SarovaraYoga]

Aweeee I really appreciate it. It helps more people find these videos and spreads the peace more widely throughout the world, therefore helping my mission :)

[@devilmansanchez]

Thank you kindly for this guided NSDR. I've replaced my nap for this and it's worked wonders for me. Whenever I need recovery from a bad night sleep, or just to recover from the afternoon, I do this. Your voice is better than Andre Huberman's!

[@chri5topher]

This knocks me the f out every time. I have had insomnia since I can remember so its so nice. Thanks!!! Namaste.

[@benchoate4347]

This is quickly becoming one of my FAVORITE yoga nidras on your channel. I will NEVER stop saying how IMPACTFUL and LIFE-CHANGING these yoga nidras have been for my overall MIND, BODY and SPIRIT. The amount of GRATITUDE that I feel for you and all that you do for this WONDERFUL community here is endless. Namasté, Ally. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@johnmurphy-tr8cb]

[@Aquedita]

it's fabulous & fascinating that science is finally catching up to ancient wisdom :) thank you Ally for these nourishing videos, they are very soothing for my body & soul.

[@SarovaraYoga]

Isn't it so cool? I love it too :) So glad your enjoying the practices!

[@rolfzartner7267]

I am a new joiner in Yoga Nidra . It rests my nervous system which is important after I suffered 4strokes . It’s magic and I am much calmer throughout the day

[@susansantoriello3833]

Namaste, Ally! Thank you.

[@4WithPeach]

Absolutely love that it is without music and just your soothing voice. Big props for using the physiological sigh and welcoming the new umbrella term NSDR. This is my favourite one on the internet now.

[@navinthehouse4710]

Not a fan of the term NSDR, removes the cultural elements in Yoga Nidra. Even religious christians will try to remove Hindu aspects but still call it "christian yoga". I hate to say, low-key cultural appropriation, and I am not a fan of that term

[@the9thof13]

@@navinthehouse4710 well thanks to the term NSDR I could find it , Discovering the one I was looking for is called Yoga Nidra is a nice extra on top of learning to feel the entire body and mind. I'm an Atheist but hindu stuff like this and stuff like karma really fascinate me. and I will tell my sister about this as Yoga Nidra I also like to use the correct term, but umbrella terms help things being found

[@elindeurell8615]

Wow. I think no practice has ever gotten me so deep into the body. Thank you for making this available to me Ally.

[@heatherbrooke506]

Yes Elin, same with me

[@cheryldelong7571]

I just don’t like how they go into a loud commercial as soon as the session is over I kind of startles you.

[@ferdihhh]

You can watch it over the KZbin website on the opera browser instead of the KZbin app. Than you won't get commercials

[@raquelchavez9252]

Three weeks now and lowered my bp meds by 1/2. Thank you.

[@SarovaraYoga]

Wonderful! Keep it up Raquel!!!

[@antonwimmer1316]

That was the quickest 30 minutes of my life! After months of panic anxiety without knowing what to do about it, videos like this have finally started to make a difference in my life. This is definitely a video I’ll come back to often. Thank you so much for making it! 😊

[@dissyymmm7671]

Thankyou Ally you are an angel ❤ Thankyou for your wisdom ,you truly are an inspiration❤

[@MarkIlless.]

How are you doing now ?

[@antonwimmer1316]

@@MarkIlless. Thanks for asking! I'm doing really great actually. I finished University, got the job I've been hoping for and moved to a really nice town. Been more or less panic free since I wrote this comment, with a few smaller relapses. Normal anxiety going down as well. I'm actually doing better now than before the panic, because now I take better care of my health and know how to deal with stress and negativity better. You learn so much from tough periods like this. I really hope you're doing good too AUGUST OCTOBER!

[@jennyk1626]

Wow great burner! When you said your got your second wind at the end I was thinking “No please stop!” 😂 I love the constant reminders to keep our knee straight because I’ve noticed I always have a slight bend. Thanks for another great workout Linda!

[@taravornkahl2497]

Woke with a chatty mind this morning. Took a rest with this practice and entering the afternoon with the intention of calm and one moment at a time. Namaste, Ally 🙏🏼

[@hivesteel]

Dear Ally, I’ve been enjoying your Yoga Nidra videos and blog for the past few months and it’s been tremendously beneficial for my nervous system. The first few weeks I could feel my body screaming from the lack of stimulus and it made me realize how overworked it was. Now I go through longer videos and deeply relax and it’s amazing. If I could make one small request (maybe for upcoming videos or editing a few popular videos in and putting them in a separate playlist) is making some “no outro” videos. Sometimes after the body scan and breathing exercise, when there’s “nothing to do” I feel like I’m floating and it’s a wonderful state. I’d like to keep that going in silence for a while, until I feel ready without having to pause the video. I’m not sure but I suspect others might enjoy too, at least once in a while when I have time for a longer session like this video Thank you again and all the best.

[@kristyshepherd166]

Absolutely agree 🙏namaste Ally💗

[@leecapatina-ye1gh]

I second this request!

[@aviana3841]

I’m so grateful for the internet and apps. We have this amazing content for free. I will come back every day for now and see if this will help with my anxiety disorder I’ve suffered for long time. Love your voice

[@thereseguettlersergeant6915]

Thank you again Ally. This time I really felt that my body was sleeping while I was awake and alert. A special sensation ! I love to to this, and tend to want more and more and more!!!

[@khabatsaid7095]

Million thanks from kurdstan north of Iraq

[@stephenhastie7014]

Very helpful. Suffering from energy drain because of certain people and situations. This really helps because it re-established my balance and centring. Thanks so much for that. Gratitude has helped too, positive response. Just had Arcturian Reiki attunement. This helped too. Like the idea of a yoga Nidra nest. A refuge for me. "A place where no evil comes!." in fact.

[@rammohanv]

Namaste, I am grateful that the ancient wisdom of India and Hinduism ( yoga and meditation) is being appreciated and adapted all over the world now...

[@kellyr3816]

Wow ally, ive listened to many of your recordings by now, but this one is special ❤. Thank you so much for everything you do for us. Sending love

[@nathanjiggens3859]

Your voice is perfect for what you do. Thank you so much. Helping me in my sobriety and anxiety and anger

[@mikedesi5513]

Excellent just like going fishing which is also very relaxing for me

[@johnathan.matthew6003]

I’m a Theravadan Buddhist and not particularly interested in Yoga, but I find these extremely useful to do before breath meditation. Thank you 🙏🏼🏆.

[@Kinsman19]

Just tried this for the first time and the results are honestly remarkable. Thank you so much. This truly saved my day.

[@cherylsmithwinberry7705]

Deeply nourishing exploration of the inner landscape of my body. As I follow the rotation of consciousness through my body, I imagine offering love and gratitude to each part, honoring her contribution to my health and well-being. What a gift to take this sense of deep inner connection into my day. Much gratitude to you Ally 🙏🏽

[@SarovaraYoga]

This makes me SO HAPPY Cheryl. Thank you for sharing with me :)

[@byfaith8911]

So grateful for you Ally!!! Namaste 🙏🏻🕊️🙏🏻

[@sueschneider7722]

Always peaceful and relaxing, thank you so much.

[@eva-w]

I really enjoyed the focus on deep breathing in the beginning, helped me to relax a lot. And the variety during the body scan kept me engaged and focused. In the end I felt like my body was smiling a very relaxed and happy smile. Thank you, Ally! Namaste.

[@SarovaraYoga]

Love that Eva... Yes we went on quite the body scan in this one didn't we? :) As always you are so welcome!

[@terryunwin1710]

You are so welcome Terry! So glad you enjoyed, I love that "inner soul relaxation spa" :) Thanks for sharing!

[@user-ot9dr3ot9e]

You are so sweet. It refresh me. Thank you.

[@selietawilliamson5630]

BEWARE! I did this lovely meditation and was so relaxed at the end I was ready for sleep. But immediately after it ended it was followed by an ad with loud raucous music. My nervous system got jacked up and then it took a long time to get to sleep plus it was an unpleasant state to be in.

[@HerbertG]

Thanks for bringing clarity to Sankalpa.🙏🏾

[@paulaamero]

The stillness was supreme.

[@JennyGriffin888]

Thank you so much, Ally 😊 It's always a pleasure to practice with you - a great way to start my day 🙏🫶

[@AseemDixit]

I'm a practicing yogi. I Normally would do Shavasana and that's when the self guided body scanning is actually done. But since I live in Manhattan, NY and the big city is not exactly peaceful even in the early mornings I decided to use body scanning from KZbin. Yours is truly one of the best I've heard and experienced. It's like a yoga guru guiding his student during shavasana. Please make video in which you're consciously scanning the systems , like you've done with the nervous system. If you could make one for say the cardiovascular renal system or the digestive system or the integumentary system, you get the idea. Really appreciate it 🙏🏻. Keep up this wonderful work. Namashkaar

[@lesleyannsavage4996]

Life changing and you are amazing Ally, thank you 🙏 so much I have gone through years of poor health and trauma from a young age. Every day I practice with you and my life has been transformed into a more peaceful journey ❤ Forever in your gratitude 🙏 namaste

[@mohamedseraj4198]

9 min in and her voice has me bricked up. I think it’s starting to work! 😂🥰

[@Happytrace13]

No background sounds or music & she DOESN'T breathe into mic or stress/loud her "P" & "T" ❤ I know that sounds strange, but I totally lose focus when there is an audible gasp for air...for the next sentence 😮 Also certain letters, like P & T, usually get through w/ a louder PUNCH & wake me out of trance. Love Ally's gentle flow! Thank you

[@gemmadidit4118]

This one is so delicious...my soul feels fully nourished. My body feels light and free. Thank you dear one. Namaste...

Yesterday morning I awakened early with the worst tension headache of my life (pain down the back of my head to my shoulders). It made me cry-never had anything like this before. Took 2 aspirin (haven't had aspirin in decades). Listened to this nsdr video and it put me back to sleep for 2 hours. Woke up ready to go to work. Thank you Ally. Amazing stuff. You have a unique gift. Never got this result from any other nsdr video except yours.🌸🌿🌸

[@PCollins-wx4hn]

This was possibly the best Nidra I have practised so far. Thank you again Ally. All the pain was absent - what unbelievable bliss!!

Could you add this to the sessions offered on your website for sale (downloadable)? I love this NSDR session-use it every night. The problem is that immediately after it finishes-often when I’ve fallen wonderfully asleep-a loud KZbin ad automatically plays which wakes me up (abruptly). I would love to purchase an ad-less version. ❤️❤️❤️

Your voice is entrancing and gives the focus needed to help calm or help distract to enable relaxation and then sleep. I tell everyone about your channel. I think the world would be a healthier place if schools could incorporate this into their timetables. It would give children a great tool to use in life. Namaste
