10 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, your breath to soften, and your awareness to settle into calm. 🌿 Ready to go deeper into rest, renewal, and nervous system nourishment? Join us for our month-long REST incubator inside the membership, where you'll be supported with daily restorative practices and a space to truly exhale.

Restorative 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 rhythm. 💛 Want more support for your digestive health? We have a whole section in our video library for members dedicated to digestion — including myofascial release, pranayama, self-massage, restorative yoga, and more. 🧘‍♀️ 13 classes in total to help you regulate, release, and receive. 🔗 Members, access the full digestion series here: https://www.members.melissawest.com/courses/yoga-for-digestion-constipation/ 🌿 Not a member yet?
