Postpartum Yoga Nidra
Yoga Nidra also known as Yogic Sleep is a deeply restorative practice. Tending to your nervous system during early postpartum is so vitally important, as it supports regulation of a number of other systems and bodily functions. This practice is designed to help you slow down, process feelings of overwhelm and be more present in your parenting.
