End of Day Yoga Nidra Meditation

About This Class

This 37-minute Yoga Nidra practice with Kate Kuss is a guided meditation in conscious relaxation designed to be done lying in Shavasana (or seated if needed). The class opens with setting a personal Sankalpa (positive affirmation), then moves through a systematic rotation of consciousness — a detailed mental body scan from fingertips to toes — to invite full physical and emotional release. Students then count the breath from 27 down to one, review their day hour by hour to cultivate present-moment awareness, and experience paired opposites (heaviness/lightness, fast/slow walking) to stimulate both brain hemispheres. A rich park visualization using multi-sensory imagery and rapid mental images deepens the inward journey, followed by observation of the Chittakash (mental space) and a closing repetition of the Sankalpa. The instructor closes with a recap of each practice limb, framing Yoga Nidra as a portable stress-management tool that activates the parasympathetic nervous system, quiets the monkey mind, and leaves practitioners feeling relaxed, grounded, and more present.
