Writing Yoga Nidra Scripts

Hello yogis,

With your Writing Yoga Nidra Scripts handout, this lengthy talk will hopefully help you shape your future scripts.

It also occurred to me that you could look at the scripts I provided you and adapt them. So you don’t need to copy and paste, but rather ask yourself the question, “What does this line do? What is its function? And then answer that question in your own words.

You are also welcome to use my scripts for delivering Yoga Nidra.

If you have any questions or shares, happy to answer them. Thank you for your patience and enthusiasm for Yoga Nidra!

Warmly,

Kathryn

Writing Yoga Nidra Scripts

Saturday 15 May

Live Workshop

On Saturday, May 15th, 2021 our live Zoom gathering runs from 9 AM - 1 PM EST. The invitation is at the bottom of this post.

Our program runs completely asynchronously (self-guided at your own pace) until this session. The emphasis of this program is on establishing a practice and making connections between structure, content and effect.

Our workshop will focus on writing Yoga Nidra scripts. Whether you decide to write your own Yoga Nidra scripts or not, this will help you synthesize the information in the course to understand the cause and effect (karma!) of practice structure and practice outcome.

The workshop will include a decent break midway through for folks to move, eat, etc.

If you are unable to attend the workshop, it will be recorded and posted for you.
