Or is it characteristic of yoga nidra? (And maybe other activities as well?) 00:13:50 Anna: Thank you 00:15:41 Erin Ipjian: modern 00:15:42 Dorota Czyz-Paterlini: Modern 00:15:42 Olga Kay (she/her): Modern 00:15:44 Marie Hurley Blair: modern 00:16:01 Sarah Montross: East and asian traditions 00:16:06 Olga Kay (she/her): Relaxation techniques? 00:16:09 Sarah Montross: East asian 00:16:09 Kimberly Turner: Western relaxations 00:16:10 Manuela Donati: Upanishadas 00:16:13 Manuela Donati: ? 00:18:15 Daniela Vesela: Thank you so much!!! 00:18:20 Daniela Vesela: :-) 00:20:39 - Tiffany: I love that you're speaking into that Caroline. I do GI research for my "day job" but work with yoga clients and the anecdotal results are so powerful even though it isn't peer reviewed and published (Yet!!) 🙂 🙂 00:20:39 Stephanie Morton: Not exactly a replacement for sleep deprivation 00:20:41 Marie Hurley Blair: rejuvenating 00:20:44 Sarah Montross: Yoga Nidra in the mornings has a profound effect on my entire day and how I respond to challenges throughout that day. It impacts my sleep positively too. 00:20:48 Evelyne Hertrich: very sensitive to voices 00:20:49 heathergagnon: The practice helps me quiet down the ruminating thoughts in my mind. 00:20:49 Kimberly Turner: More effective for me in the morning - can’t get all the way thru in evening - fall asleep 00:20:57 Olga Kay (she/her): Autogenic training (think thats what its called) to replace visuals in aphantasia or low imagination 00:20:58 maya odeh: Its an amazing tool to deal with stress and pain 00:21:02 Elise Breth: Calming. Reduced anxiety with grief. 00:21:07 Daniela Vesela: I feel so great when being in a yoga nidra state.. so calm.. 00:21:11 iPad lily: I am able to focus energy, relaxation to minute areas of. My body 00:21:14 michele: I have been using “contract/release” more and I feel a really impactful change. 00:21:32 rebecca podlipec: Helps me transition between work and home, helps release tension or stress so I can reset or clear my slate. 00:21:40 heathergagnon: Reacted to "Helps me transition ..." with ❤️ 00:21:42 Tiff: It’s challenging - my mind chatter has exploded 00:21:47 Theresa Seitz: I find that I am not always able to settle in and find calm due to my mind wandering. 00:21:48 heathergagnon: Reacted to "Calming. Reduced anx..." with 👍 00:21:48 iPad lily: Calming soft feeling 00:21:49 michele: There is research showing that “Contract/release” can really help with grief. I have found this to be true 00:22:00 Manuela Donati: It’s really centering & grounding - like coming home to myself 00:22:13 Katja Bartsch: I would also like to underline the importance of subjective/ personal experience - you may find one of Tiffany’s and my recent podcast episodes interesting also - “Yoga as personalised medicine” : https://open.spotify.com/episode/513t1kjqHaP6sWBDR0qWzH 00:22:21 Melanie S: I’m recognizing through this specific night yoga nidra… it’s been asking us to set a positive intention about our sleep, which has shined a little light on my negative view of my own rest (or lack thereof). It’s been a very positive experience so far! 00:22:22 Daniela Vesela: Surprised how fast the practice goes.. thirty minutes are over so fast.. 00:22:48 Evelyne Hertrich: difficuties to comit to the practice as someone with ADHD even if I like it and feel it does me good 00:24:27 Anna: It works well for me anytime I can’t focus well, especially when I want to get on the mat for an asana practice but lack energy. Like a reset of energy 00:25:03 Evelyne Hertrich: what's your insight about the polyvagal theory ? 00:30:32 michele: Which page is this chart on? 00:31:23 Katja Bartsch: This one Is not in your manual - you can take a screenshot or look up the source in the bottom 00:37:37 Valerie Knopik (she/her): 🙂 00:40:17 michele: Reacted to "This one Is not in y…" with 👌 00:42:33 Evelyne Hertrich: I thought cold water or cold imersion was activating the sympathic system. 00:43:39 rebecca podlipec: I love doing my Yoga Nidra practice in the Suana. 🙂 00:45:01 Katja Bartsch: @Evelyne: That’s right - it would first activate the sympathetic nervous system, followed by enabling the parasympathetic response more easily/ strongly (in the left column of the table this is described as “parasympathetic nervous system rebound”) 00:45:46 Evelyne Hertrich: thank you 00:46:37 Sarah Montross: I have been really impressed by your short practices of 10-15 minutes and how much that short of a practice can impact what you’re talking about for me 00:47:12 Evelyne Hertrich: is the frequency of the practice important in the studies? 00:48:42 Theresa Seitz: Thank You, I’m so sorry, I have to drop for a meeting. 00:48:49 iPad lily: A thought - we are born able to switch easily from Sym to para through innate senses eg. crying baby immediately Calmed by touch, smell , voice of mother 00:49:09 Kimberly Turner: Reacted to "A thought - we are b..." with ❤️ 00:50:24 Nicole Berger: I experienced that the shorter practices are especially beneficial in the mornings for energy level and the longer ones (30 min) I love to practice later in the day/evening to prepare for sleep. 00:50:32 Katja Bartsch: @Evelyn in the majority of studies the effects of frequency and duration of the practice on respective outcomes (called “dose-response relationship” in the research) is not yet taken into consideration. That’s quite typical in a young research field like Yoga Nidra - first, the presence of effects is studied; later, the dose-response relationships are being determined. That being said, some recent ones explore for example different lengths of yoga Nidra practices. 00:50:58 Evelyne Hertrich: Reacted to "@Evelyn in the major..." with 👍 00:51:59 Katja Bartsch: This graph is also not in the manual - feel free to take a screenshot. 01:03:02 iPad lily: Reacted to "A thought - we are b…" with ❤️ 01:14:21 Manuela Donati: I’m not sure if I got this right, is the first reaction always the social engagement? 01:18:19 Evelyne Hertrich: so interesting !

Without music is actually quite nice! 01:52:41 Manuela Donati: Did u leave out the arms on purpose in the body scan or did I just miss them? 01:53:12 Mohamed El Dakkak: I had a headache and now it's gone 01:53:13 iPad lily: I missed the visualization!

Is it recommended? 01:58:36 Elise Breth: Can we incorporate this into a yin practice? Do self face massage and breathing at the beginning of practice then body scan and visualization to help guide students into a deeper relaxation state during Savasana? 01:58:46 Yoga Medicine Teachers: Absolutely!!! 01:58:52 Elise Breth: Reacted to "Absolutely!!!" with ❤️ 01:59:44 Evelyne Hertrich: i guess it also dépends on the kind of yoga practiced? 01:59:59 Evelyne Hertrich: yoga nidra 02:01:05 Sarah Montross: Ive definitely already incorporated things I’ve learned into my savanna for my alignment classes! 02:01:20 Stephanie Morton: Thanks! So interesting. 02:01:25 Valerie Knopik (she/her): Thank you!
