In this episode, Ari is joined by Dr. Uma Dinsmore-Tuli where they dive into the ancient and resurgent practice of Yoga Nidra. This is one of Ari’s all-time favourite practices to help regulate the nervous system and today they explore the origins, the neuroscience, the benefits, how and when to practice, the imbalance between feminine and masculine energetics, and why now is a more important time than ever to prioritize rest.

She is a yoga therapist with special expertise in yoga therapy for women’s health, Uma is a mother of three, and has written four books on yoga for women, including the massive Yoni Shakti and two books on Yoga Nidra, including Nidra Shakti, An Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Yoga Nidra.
