N.118 Release All Negative Energy | Yoga Nidra for DEEP REST | 55 Minutes Jan 11, 2026

Show notes

Journey to Deep Rest Series | The Ruler | Capricorn Yoga Nidra for Deep Rest | Nervous System Regulation
Enter this grounded space of rest with Ayla Nova and allow this Yoga Nidra practice to guide you into deep relaxation, nervous system regulation, and restorative rest. This session is designed to calm the body, quiet the mind, and support a gentle reset of the nervous system.
Inspired by the energy of Capricorn, this Yoga Nidra focuses on reassessing life, releasing burnout, and returning to inner stability and self-trust. Capricorn represents wisdom, responsibility, and sovereignty, offering a powerful container for letting go of what no longer serves and reconnecting with what brings you life and joy again.
This practice supports deep sleep, emotional regulation, and stress relief by helping you soften effort, release survival-based control, and rest in presence. As the nervous system settles, you are invited to remember who you are beneath roles, expectations, and constant doing.
A grounding Yoga Nidra for deep rest, nervous system healing, and returning home to yourself.

This Yoga Nidra is a deep restorative practice for calming the nervous system, releasing burnout, and reassessing what truly brings you life and joy again.

• Releasing what no longer belongs to you
• Letting go of survival-based control

“Nothing ever goes away until it teaches us what we need to know.”

I am brave
I trust
I am
