Ally, you’re the best! Thanks for sharing your gift for soothing my often frazzled nervous system. I have several chronic illnesses and love with so much pain. This helps! 👏🏼🫶🏻💐💐💐💗

[@judicrespo]

Ally, this was my first experience with you. Thank you. I felt as though I was hypnotized. I experienced a few visions…my sister, x-husband- both deceased, and a face I did not recognize. I felt as though I could not move until a while after you stopped speaking. I will be back for more.

[@mindfulmomentz]

You are amazing! You give me so much peace and so much energy. Your voice is my happy place!

[@eatch666]

Hi Thank you so much I feel so relaxed and calm now

[@FxiryDragonPuppet]

Ally I must let you know I'm only 10 years old and I have bad sleeping problems I get terrified when I go to sleep but you and your voice, it's just so calming and it's impossible to not be okay with your yoga nidra on. You really helped me! thank you Ally.

[@LloydRhodesBrandon]

Dear friend, when I was 10 years old I had the same problem. Now I am 22 and I want you to know it gets so much better, better than you may even be able to imagine right now! For me, friendship and Buddhism have been very important, but everyone is different and has their own path. Sending love ❤

Love this one! I am a mum of my 18 month old daughter & i do your yoga nidra sessions when she naps. It helps re centre me so i can continue to look after her for the rest of the day, being patient & relaxed for her. The stressors of motherhood can be very overwhelming, but thank you ally for was acting as the solid rock & a grounding tool through these videos! xx

[@tanya_laughton]

Thank you Ally for another beautiful session. I have been practicing with you at least once daily for 13 months now and your sessions are one of the most fundamental parts of my healing journey from ME/CFS and Endometriosis. Beyond grateful for everything you give us ❤

[@SarovaraYoga]

Thank you for sharing with me Tanya, I have endometriosis myself and it's been a difficult journey. I am doing so much better these days (Anthony Williams books, foods, herbs and supplements REALLY helped me if you are interested to check those resources out) 💜

[@haleyskye5509]

Yoga nidra has really changed my life (as long as I do it consistently). I have borderline personality disorder so I have a very difficult time, to say the least, controlling my emotions at times. This has really contributed to getting that in check and I couldn't be more grateful. I've listened for so long now that your voice has an almost Pavlovian effect on me. I hear "Hi, this is Ally" and I immediately feel my breath deepening and my heartrate slowing. Thank you so much for all that you do! P.S. I would absolutely love to see a yoga nidra session centered around addiction and recovery if ever you're looking for ideas. 😉❤

[@rzadigi]

The Amrit Yoga Institute KZbin channel has some great ones for addiction ❤

[@maureenrowcliffe5277]

Maybe your best ever? I felt lie my body was SO heavy, deep rest. Thank you.

You're so welcome! I'm very glad to hear this Maureen, thank you for sharing 💜

I have been dealing with a lot of anxiety and panic attacks lately. This has helped me calm down even if it’s for a moment. Thank you so much for these videos!!

Currently suffering from long Covid this changed my state so fast incredible work and what a voice, very talented Will be researching all your stuff immediately 🤩

[@nicksandersonmusic]

My go to for mid day naps/insomnia nights! All of your recordings bring me peace of mind and restful sleep, thank you 🙏

[@SuperL-125]

Hi Ally - I found your videos a few months ago by way of Dr. Huberman, and they quickly became a part of my daily practice. I use them occasionally for insomnia, but they're especially great for my midday nap! Lol I feel like at this point, you've brought so many of us to the front of the pack. By that I mean: if we use as an indicator the many youtube channels that have cropped up recently, we may be witnessing (in real time) yoga nidra entering the collective consciousness as an important resource for health and well-being. Very exciting! Thanks for all you do.

[@SarovaraYoga]

I love this comment so much. I enjoy Dr. Huberman's work immensely as I have a nerdy little heart myself. LOL.... I do believe you are on to something here and that there might be a revolution of learning how to rest that will be very healing for the collective. 😊

[@bluethss]

I teared up when I whispered softly and nurturingly internally "may I accept myself, just as I am". No striving. No time urgency. Just loving oneself in the now. So beautiful thank you so much Ally!

Evening Ally. I've listened to so many of your videos but this has to be my favourite. Perfect length, ambient sounds, dialogue. Ahhh! Bliss! A thousand thank yous. Keep being a shining light in so many people's lives around the world. Grateful for all that you do. ❤

[@marymccarthy7087]

I have started to listen to your meditations for the last two weeks I have chronic health but been unable to meditate for 5 yrs yet did every day for ten years before your practise is really helping me and I am mediating again and it’s really helping my chronic health todays new meditation has made me feel irritable not sure if it’s not right for me or release stuff but rest stuff brilliant so grateful thank you so much

[@SarovaraYoga]

Mary! Yes, I responded about the irritability in your other post. I'm glad to hear that it moved through and your nervous system was able to settle. Sometimes when this energy comes up, another thing that can be very helpful is some gentle yoga/restorative yoga or pranayama "pre-practices" which I have many on my channel that you can find. If you search my name and "gentle yoga" "restorative yoga" or "pranayama" these are all practices that would be very suitable and helpful for settling the nervous system down for Yoga Nidra.

[@jolovesnailart]

Thank you so much for your yoga Nidra practices, I am so grateful for them 🙏 I have ME/CFS and dealing with post-covid problems for the second time and yoga Nidra helps me through the day. So thank you very very much 💞

I've used quite a few of your yoga nidra videos for a long time now, tbh I used them cos I knew I needed to try to practice as I know it helps, but never really felt like they did it for me but still keep using them.. Anyways, this one in particular was really good for me! I dunno if it's a combination of things as I'm on holiday and in a better place atm, and yesterday had an amazing day at the beach seeing exactly what was described here with the waves and colours of the sky and a tiny bit of rain, just no forest or mountains behind, but sand dunes and lots of trees behind that, anyways just wanted to say thank you for this, I'm glad I've kept watching your videos and found this one! 🙏🏾❤
