015: Chandra Bhedana Pranayama and Yoga Nidra for Restful Sleep

This is a seated to lying down practice that includes Chandra Bhedana pranayama, or moon-piercing breath. It is intended to connect with the lunar channel in the body, known in the subtle anatomy of yoga as Iḍā nāḍi.

We begin in a seat and explore this deeply soothing breath, and follow with a gentle yoga nidra to invoke sleep and rest. This is made with love and deep care for our collective nervous systems, hearts, and minds that are so often overwhelmed by the noise of modern living.

May your practice be blessed, and may it be for the benefit of all beings.

Much love,

Phoebe
