[@gillianholland1589]

Transformational sleep. Thankyou Ally..I'm finding these yoga nidras with water element so cleansing especially at the dark of the Moon. One to replay frequently. In gratitude ❤

[@gillianholland1589]

As above. I'm come back to this after a break, and this in.particulars so healing after loss of a friend. It helps to put into context that she too isn't lost, but lives on in my heart and has changed form into a higher state of being❤😅 any chance you can edit the end. It cuts out suddenly moving into an add, very abrasive after the beautiful healing space you took us into.

[@jessicamusicandyoga]

Thank you Ally! In module 3. Woke too early today and did this one before starting my day ❤

[@clewisize]

Thank you for the nourishing deep rest.

[@leilaSuzara]

Namaste for the the deep rest and peacefulness of this practice .Love the ocean wave sounds ebbing and flowing through me,

[@Nickynidra]

Checking in for my afternoon practice for module 3. I enjoy working with the water element and the ocean waves are probably my favourite background sound. Thank you. 🙏🏼

[@roots2wingsyoga885]

Namaste, Ally. This practice was a unique way to observe the water element in various states, its qualities, how we can learn from it, and that we are water! It was a powerful reminder that it "travels the path of least resistance" and that "without change, there is no growth," both of which continue to resonate within me. Thank you. 10/13/23 2pm. 🌊

Thursday 25th August 2022. " Lokah samastah sukhino bhavantu- May all beings everywhere be happy and free, and may the thoughts, words, and actions of my own life contribute in some way to that happiness and to that freedom for all.”. Namaste! 🙏

[@alicebiggs4226]

❤️

[@Feelittohealit22]

Thank you for this amazing flowing experience Ally @SarovaraYoga, love this practice from Module 3 and often return to it. It brings me such a deep feeling of calmness and peace, just letting myself freely flow with the natural slow pace of my breath and following the ebbs and flows of the lights created by the breathing. Grateful for this beautiful experience 🙏🏼

[@Antoinette-nsdr]

Thank you Ally🙏💝. The moon connection was perfect. Also I’ve a dentist’s appointment in an hour and hadn’t realised just how much I needed this. I now feel calm, ready, grounded, light, and peace filled🪷. (M3 August 2nd @06:58)

[@AdriennePapermaster]

Namaste 🙏. I loved the sounds of the waves. I have Pisces sun and moon, and water meditations are very soothing and rejuvenating for me. I kept getting in my head in the earlier parts of the practice (which has never happened to me before in YN) that felt more conceptual, then I dropped more into my body while sensing all of my cells. This is the 11th anniversary (birthday!) of my bone marrow transplant for acute leukemia, which made communing with my blood and cells especially meaningful. ❤ I’ve added “we” to me she/they pronouns in part because of my experiences of the multiplicity of beings who make up “me” in YN, both in the body and deeply feeling “my” connection with all beings everywhere. The breathing from toes to crown was so cleansing and energizing! Thank you ❤

[@catherinebalazic326]

It mid afternoon 3:30 Ally , just peaceful practice. I love the water element. Thank you for a beautiful nidra.

[@Victoria_Viriam_Yoga]

loka samastha sukhinau bhavantu... thank you for closing with this... quite a different nidra practice - very poetic - but the ultimate effect was very expansive - the felt-sense of Prana... feeling energised... thank you (I'm in Transformational Sleep Training Module 2) peace...

[@Seearacc7799]

The combination of the oceanic white noise and the soothing whispering is so relaxing, I practised yesterday and today afternoon after a very early start, and both times went into deep unconscious in the early stages, came back as it ended and then let my phone flow through the next yoga nidra on my playlist by you Ally, drifting in and out of dreams feeling very happy and got up and felt totally replenished. So this is perfect for easing into sleep, thank you as ever ❤

[@TativonYoga]

I started my day with a yoga nidra (straight out of bed), and am ending my day with the practice (having just done a short dirga breath practice to unwind after a stressful day at work). Felt like I was being carried by the ocean in this one 🌊 Thank you!

[@anjalimalaney1062]

Thank you 🙏. I’m healing from anxiety and your yoga Nidra sessions are really helping me.

[@SarahTimmartworldwide]

Thank you Ally for a great evening rest and restore after a long teaching day. So healing. ❤

[@allysnead340]

So many reminders that my mind needed to hear and my nervous system was craving a practice like this. I have been facing some extreme jet lag and this practice was a reminder that yoga nidra truly is a medicine 🙏

[@leilaSuzara]

@500am grounded and calmed by the soothing sound of waves of peacefulness washing over me. Namaste

[@krtheis]

Oh, forgot to say how I feel. I feel very rested and very grateful for that rest. I don’t know what will break me of this insomnia. It’s an addiction to being awake during the quiet hours. It’s the utter solitude. And probably some caffeine.

[@denisemacdonald1634]

Peaceful. Especially visualizing ice to water to mist to air. Thank you.

[@carolinelawrie7142]

Namaste Ally 18/06. 18.20. WOW... Stonking water element practice. I loved everything about it... The whooshy wave sounds were perfect, I was floating totally supported on the sea surface. 40 minutes of observing the rhythms of the body and breath, with no effort to do anything, were so soporific. I drifted between relaxation, hypnogogic sleep and ?REM sleep but always aware of your voice. Occasionally I observed myself from about a foot above my body, to the right of my head, above, not an OBE but a gentle elevation of my attention. I feel so relaxed and cleansed now💕💕💕

[@chan3711]

Gentle & cleansing. Very relaxed now. Thank you. (7:50 am GMT)

[@susansantoriello3833]

Namaste, Ally! Good Morning. Thank you. It was wonderful to be able to be here with you this morning. ❤

[@CristinaMonti-wq7ql]

5 March at 17:00 - Many thanks for this practice which I felt as a purification of my energetic body.

[@clambert1318]

Namaste Ally, and thank you sharing your beautiful yoga nidra practices with us. You enrich my life.

[@adrianakundaliniyoga]

The most restorative yoga Indra O have ever done. Thank you Ally

[@jocelynbates238]

I really enjoy the Yoga Nidras that center around waves and water. This is lovely and relaxing and at one point in time I actually felt like my body was floating ... Namaste

[@eliakanakrajah]

Here for my module 3 practice today. It felt like a deeply nourishing yoga nidra and at one point, I felt like my whole body was floating on water 🙏🏼

[@LauraRamirez-mo8fm]

Circling back to this again, this time for yoga teacher training and the element of water. So nourishing. You are such a blessing. EWYTT 11/11/22

[@YogaWithShelagh]

Namaste Ally - lovely to be guided by your soothing voice and sounds of the water - just what I needed. Shelagh

[@taravornkahl2497]

Absolutely loved the soothing sound of the waves. I am a big fan of the background sounds with a Yoga Nidra practice. It helps add another layer of relaxation :)

[@katrinabesner7324]

Thank you ✨✨✨ I am in module 3 and found that it took longer for me to settle in this beautiful Yoga Nidra as I was more analyzing … once I dove deep into this session, I felt like I experienced a gentle energetic treatment, resembling reiki. This was powerful & gentle, I feel purified and rejuvenated. I loved the mantra at the end, one of my favorites!!! Gratitude to you 🙏

[@natijackson5840]

I love the sound of the water 🙏

[@Jenni_Kallie]

What a beautiful start into the day! I cannot wait to dive deeper into module 3 of the training now💖

[@maryjomatsumoto2323]

I loved this water yoga nidra Ally. It was so calming and I loved the sound of the water.Thank you!

[@jennahansen6885]

Namaste Ally, I forgot to comment the first time I did this one and I’m so glad I came back to this. I do feel like I get more and more out of each nidra the more I practice. With gratitude ❤❤❤

[@eco_alli]

Thank you, Ally. I realize the more I practice yoga nidra the more I am able to stay awake and drift into this conscious sleep state. (Module 3 practice 2)

[@naturegirl4074]

Love this so much. I was so stressed about my physical ailments and pain, I actually fell asleep for a short time this afternoon. Going to listen again tonight before bed. Thank you as always Ally ❤

[@treesongyoga_wellness]

10:30p.m. practice - Drifted in and out with the beautiful sounds of water crashing in the background 💙🙏

[@restfulstillness2274]

Namaste! 🙏 That was sublime. I practiced at 4:20 P.M. on Oct. 4, 2023. I felt so much tension being released. My body was falling asleep, and my mind was not far behind.

[@MindfulHarborTherapy]

I’m loving these module 3 meditations. Thank you for this healing with the water element ❤ Tani

[@billynou]

I have been trying to make a conscious connection with water every day at the moment so this was perfect. I was completely drained and exhausted going into this practice and I definitely drifted in and out of awareness. It just always feels like such a gift to practice with you. Love ceilidh 13.30 💜

[@tobiasoliver488]

Namaste. It was raining heavily as I listened to this which added to the depth and intensity of the practice.

[@spiritflower6640]

Namaste 🙏🌞 am finding this nidras especially helpful in my journey to nourish my kidneys at this time... thank you for this nidra 🙂🙏💗

[@fernandolspptagr7463]

Everyday I do any of these yoga nidra, this, in particular, is another great class to feel good with Ally. Namaste.

[@clarestephen5488]

9.30 am , Sunday 21st August 2022.. My overall feeling after this profound and beautiful practice is of heartfelt appreciation and deep embodied gratitude! I'm just starting the breath and Pranamaya Kosha module of Transformational Sleep, Yoga Nidra Teacher Training with Ally and beginning to truly understand the potential for profound healing , insight , wisdom and heart opening to manifest for all who embrace Yoga Nidra! What a gift! I absolutely love this Water element Yoga Nidra practice Ally...the way you gently and skilfully guide us into the subtle energy body with your poetic use of language and imagery. I felt I went deeper than ever before. Feeling so inspired.Thank you! Namaste! 🙏

[@rossiemaceachern5718]

Beautiful morning practice 💙🙏

[@cherylsmithwinberry7705]

Awakening to the day with YN allows me to bring a deep presence, clarity and calm to my day. This practice is beautiful. The flow feels like a deep, inner cleansing. I have a connection with the state of flow. Always grateful to you Ally. Your generosity touches my heart. Namaste 🙏🏽

[@katrinaluella]

So much gratitude for floating into this practice after a day on the water. Thank you Ally, thank you life 🙏 Module 3

[@joannemorris8900]

Love the visualization of ocean waves. I practiced this yoga nidra mid-morning. Thoroughly enjoyed this exploration of the water element and its connection to the Prana Maya Kosha. My nervous system is abiding in a felt sense of peace and calm. Namaste. 💜🙏☮️ Jody

[@alohayogameditationsashley684]

Wow! Thank you Ally, that was pure bliss. Near the start I could feel as if someone was brushing energy all over the top of my body 🧡🌊☯️🥰 practiced M3, 16:20pm uk time :) Love it thank you Ally, I feel so calm & centered XxX

[@storytimewithlynnie]

Module 3 student. Practiced this in the afternoon and I couldn’t stay awake, I missed the whole rotation of consciousness and came around to the breathing in from the crown to the toes. I feel very refreshed now, though. Thank you

[@clairesk6108]

Aug 27,1am Namaste. I overloaded my brain and really needed this Yoga Nidra. Thank you!

[@melaniemahan9078]

Working my way through module 3. I was listening to a longer video in the module and found I needed to relax and find a calmer frame of mind, so I decided to try this practice. Got a little too relaxed and caught myself snoring towards the end!

[@etvoilalalily]

Namasté! From Module 3. I am enjoyng thé ride though pranamayakosha. I loved the lesson about the heart intelligence & the nervous system ❤ thanks always for your beautiful guidances. ❤

[@melindasmithaltshuler9464]

Thanks!

[@lucyparsons5911]

For me, this is one of your most powerful and restful yoga nidras. It works profoundly every time. X

[@nicolebuckle1266]

Relaxing evening Yoga Nidra practice, thanks Ally 🙏

[@katie_vogel]

This was so nourishing. The anchor you provided was something I needed and really returned to throughout the practice. I was feeling some anxious feelings arise in my chest and the anchor drew me back to the present moment and to my heart. Thank you. Also the polarized breathing felt so caring.

[@carolynwaiterscarter4507]

Thank you for a beautiful restorative practice Ally. Thank you for your generosity and kindness. I’m in Module 3

[@MindYourMindful]

I am buzzing with regenerated energy levels. Feeling relaxed, yet very aware.

[@ciaparkerthecolehouse]

Thank you, I did this around 5 PM what a relaxing way to start my evening🙏💕

[@gailgrossman3557]

I relate to water so well, and it felt like the perfect nidra to pick me up mid-morning after teaching! Thank you!

[@SarovaraYoga]

Wonderful Gail. I also love the water element :)

[@audreymclaughlin5896]

6:45pm. Don't think I moved a muscle the entire time! Soft & smoothed out. Quiet found me. Thankful.

[@SuperPixie81]

Loved the water element and felt really renewed after practicing this afternoon ❤️🙏

[@saragramley6183]

The ocean qualities you choice really resonated with me. I found myself repeating them like a mantra- vast, deep, full of life

[@maxwellmaynard6636]

It's been raining a lot here recently, and this was just beautiful for a midday rest... Took me into a dreamy place 🐳💙💠

[@sofiebettens]

Namaste did this practice in the morning at 7am. Loved the healing water, thank you

[@leahmarieserna]

Namaste Ally, from the YNTT module 3. I loved this watery, ethereal practice with the ocean sounds in the background. Went deep, mid afternoon. Thank-you. Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu. 🙏

[@cravingforchocolates]

Namaste Ally. This was so BEAUTIFUL! I’ve always feel really connected to the water element and this practice was just perfect. And it’s the very first time that I’ve managed to stay conscious throughout the whole practice whilst feeling my body in such a deep deep relaxation! Totally mind awake body asleep. All the cells in my body are now recharged with the energy of the water and I’m thrilled with my breakthrough! Thanks again for this wonderful practice, Ally. (Angela, module three) 🙏🏻🥰

[@leilaSuzara]

@1845 calming , rejuvenating practice. Namaste

[@Kardynalyoga]

Thank you, Ally! =) Had a busy weekend and wanted to tap my parasympathetic nervous system to prepare for the week ahead. The ocean waves and sound of your voice were pure magic--had the BEST sleep ever after!!

[@jondawatson890]

Thank you, Ally, for a lovely water element Nidra! Namasté. 06-23-23

[@elisasims3159]

I really connect to the sound of the ocean. Your voice was beautifully paced with the ebb and flow. Thank you for this practice.

[@JillMooney-nj7jo]

Deeply nourishing. Namaste!🙏☮

[@terrieahlers7334]

Hi Ally, this practice was so beneficial for me today. The background of water flowing made it so easy to get out of my thinking brain and just flow into a deep rest. Thank you!

[@kaceofbaseable]

So beautiful and calming with the ocean 🌊in the background and the pace of your voice. I ❣️learning and integrating information that you share during the journey~ 70,000 nadis and that our 60-70% 💧. Thank you 🙏

[@susanmartin4612]

Finished this practice at about 2.15pm, Ally. you guide it so beautifully. Thanks so much. Aware of the pain of letting go even though it will bring release and relief. Grateful for deeper awareness of this through this practice. A little piece of heaven 💕🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@natedaviesyoga1476]

Namaste 🙏 Ally, I was enjoying resting very deeply & got a very freeing self neck back & neck adjustment afterwards. The practice allows my muscles to relax to a point that it frees up my whole body. 🙏 12:54pm 6/7

[@taralee6005]

incredibly deep and led in a beautiful way. Love'd this water element and association with the practice. Namaste

[@loribeamer]

Namaste Ally, I listened to this at around 7:30 pm after a somewhat scattered day. I now feel incredibly peaceful and it is as if my nervous system has been reset. I don’t think I will be going back to Beta brainwaves this evening. I am definitely experiencing Alpha and hoping for deeper as I sleep tonight. Thank you!

[@AleksLaMac]

Thank you for the soothing practice Ally!

[@andie8248]

Enjoyed settling in for this practice first thing this morning. It was a really nice way to begin the day. Thank you!

[@emmatreharne]

I will come back again to this particular practice. Namaste Ally

[@4634dancer]

I caught myself snoring at one point! So relaxing :) practiced at 11:45am. Thanks Ally!

[@lorageorgiou388]

I’m such a water person, so this yoga nidra is definitely one I’ll repeat. I could really feel the water element. Practicing after lunch with a full, warm belly was nice! Namaste

[@karunayogastudio]

Thank you Ally for this practice once again! I loved the pranamaya exploration and the water-like quality of consciousness appearing. Second time now I have a very powerful energy coming into the CNS, feeling of vibration and buzz in the brain (towards the end of the practice, just before visualizing the breath from the soles of the feet up and then back down). I’m not too aure what it is, it’s not uncomfortable but somehow kind of a super-activation of the nervous system. The mind after is very well focused and sharp (after coming out of the nidra). Definitely wil be exploring more. The teacher training and these nidras brought whole new experiences into my practice, thank you for the wisdom and your guidance. Namaste, Veronika

[@embodiedpsychology325]

Did this during the afternoon. It was interesting because all though it was body focussed in parts I still had a wonderful flowy, dreamlike experience overall. I am LOVING the pranamaya kosha focus so so much. Thank you Ally

[@catherinecunningham57]

Very beautiful Ally thank you, from start to finish...I feel calm, centred and peaceful

[@julielazarine7261]

Namaste,Ally. Practicing at 10:54 am May 18th. I feel very cleansed and calm. Thank you.

🙏 water element practice during morning hours of an ice storm ❄️ observed tensions and stuckness throughout the physical body, allowing supports to migrate alone the spine to support settling 🌊

[@JennyGriffin888]

Thank you so much, Ally! I'll have to come back and explore this one again. It's been a big week energetically. I know I'm not alone in feeling that. 🙏

[@nikakralj2832]

Thank you Ally ❤ I really needed this today as I was feeling quite restless and anxious this morning. Now I'm feeling so much better, relaxed and focused.
