The Yoga Therapy Toolbox #12: Is Yoga Nidra still effective if your students fall asleep?

Do your students drift off into dreamland the moment you start Yoga Nidra or a guided relaxation? 💤✨

Ever caught yourself thinking, “Wait… are they benefiting from this… or just taking a nap!?” 😅

In this video, I respond to one of our students who was feeling frustrated because her client kept falling asleep during practice — every. single. time.

Whether you teach Yoga Nidra, mindfulness, or any juicy lie-down-and-chill meditation, this might just change how you feel about those little snooze-symphonies in your class, with a bonus tip at the end! 🎁

About the Yoga Therapy Toolbox

The Yoga Therapy Toolbox is a collection of practical, experience-led tools drawn from decades of clinical yoga therapy practice and refined through real-world use with a wide range of clients and health conditions. Alongside clear, usable applications, we sometimes share insight into where these tools come from and why they work, so they can be used immediately or returned to when needed. New Toolbox posts are published regularly – subscribe to receive email reminders whenever a new tool is added, so you never miss one.
