10 minute Yoga Nidra Full Body Scan | Yoga with Melissa 734
20/06/2025 Duração: 13min10 minute Yoga Nidra Full Body Scan | Yoga with Melissa 734 Membership ➡️ https://www.melissawest.com/membership This 10 minute yoga nidra is a short guided practice that will take you through a full body scan. In this 10-minute Yoga Nidra, I’ll guide you through a deeply restorative body scan to help you feel both grounded and renewed. Yoga Nidra is a guided meditation that supports your nervous system and offers profound rest. It can be especially helpful for insomnia, anxiety, stress, adrenal fatigue, and more. In this practice, you’ll be invited into a state of conscious rest physically relaxed, mentally calm, and emotionally at ease, while staying awake and aware. You’ll gently move through waking, dreaming, and deep sleep states, all while anchored in the present moment. This guided meditation often brings clarity, stillness, and spacious insight. Research suggests that an hour of Yoga Nidra may be as restorative as four hours of deep sleep. In just ten minutes, allow your body to release tension

Restorative Yoga for Digestion & Deep Nervous System Reset | YWM 730
17/05/2025 Duração: 57minRestorative Yoga for Digestion & Deep Nervous System Reset | YWM 730 This class is a gentle invitation to return to your body’s natural intelligence. When life feels too fast, too demanding, or too much to process, your digestion often reflects it — through tightness, bloating, or sluggishness. In this practice, we soften the nervous system’s need to control, brace, or push through. You’ll be guided to shift from sympathetic overdrive into the parasympathetic “rest and digest” state — where healing, nourishment, and true integration become possible. This class supports both physical digestion and emotional release, using restorative shapes, energetic cues, and frequency alignment to remind your system: you are safe to receive. You don’t need to earn rest. You don’t have to fix or force anything. Let sensation move through without labeling it. Let your breath and presence do the digesting. In this space of allowing, regulation becomes your boundary, trust becomes your medicine, and love becomes your inner r

30 minuteYoga for Flexibility Slow Flow | Yoga with Melissa 724
24/03/2025 Duração: 25minIn this slow flow yoga class, we explore the connection between physical flexibility and nervous system adaptability—a key to staying steady in times of change. You’ll move through standing postures that mirror the grounding qualities of lying-down poses, bringing a sense of ease and release into your flexibility practice. This dynamic yet soft sequence includes hip openers, shoulder releases, and flowing movements that encourage a free and easy flow in both body and mind. By embracing flexibility on the mat, we practice meeting life with openness and resilience. We are also in wood element season, the time of spring renewal and growth. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, the liver meridian governs flexibility—not just in our muscles, but in our ability to adapt and flow with life’s transitions. If you want to dive deeper into seasonal wisdom and meridian-based yoga, check out my book on 5 Element Yin Yoga!
