Yoga nidra with Lexa

Lying still, almost asleep, awake just enough to hear yourself. That is yoga nidra as Lexa leads it: her voice walks your attention through the body while you rest on the edge of sleep.

What it is

What is yoga nidra

Yoga nidra is a guided practice done lying down. A voice leads your attention through the body and the breath, and you stay on the edge between waking and sleep. There is nothing to hold and nothing to achieve, you simply follow the voice.

In the language of this practice it is a sleep in which awareness stays awake. In that state you can hear what usually hides under the noise of the day.

With Lexa

Yoga nidra meditation with Lexa

Lexa led yoga nidra for a group of women in Miami in March 2026, in a house by the water, alongside sound meditation, breathwork and hypno-meditation.

Her voice is the instrument. To hear it before a retreat, listen to her free meditations on this site, the one for deep sleep among them.

What does Yoga Nidra do?

It lets you rest without falling asleep and hear yourself without effort. Lexa puts it in one line: almost asleep, awake just enough to hear yourself.

Tell Lexa about your health before the session. Contraindications are talked through in advance, and you can open your eyes and stop at any moment.
