Guided Relaxation With Global Family Yoga

We wanted to create something to support your family feeling well, in your own home at your own time. These guided relaxations are just like what we use and teach for children's Yoga classes. They are based on the principals of Yoga nidra - a very effective technique for inducing deep states of rest and renewal.

Although they are geared toward children, older kids, teens and adults will enjoy them as well. Several tracks are "universal" in that everyone can relate and they are not too "childish." At the same time, children will delight in wriggling like a Dead Bug, meeting the Worry Witch and going on a Magic Carpet Ride.

Learning to relax and calm yourself is a valuable life skill. A relaxed body is healthy, vibrant and feels great. A relaxed mind is creative, powerful and unlimited.

These seven soothing tracks can be enjoyed one at a time or as many as you like. They can be used as a way to transition from school (or work) to home, before homework or before bed - any time you want to unwind and relax the mind.

You'll get -

1. Welcome - practice notes to help you get the most out of these guided journeys.
2. Dead Bug - physically shake the limbs to release tension from the body.
3. Shining Star - feel a point of light touch, warm and relax each part of your body.
4. A Visit With the Worry Witch - leave all your worries and concerns with the Worry Witch who will stitch them into her beautiful quilt, leaving you free to explore a very special place.
5. Waterfall of White Light - feel white energy pouring down into the top of your head and through your body, washing away any tension or bad feelings held in the body.
6. Magic Carpet Ride - take an inspiring journey to a place where you feel peaceful, relaxed, safe and protected.
7. True Nature - feel all the elements of nature around you and within you.
8. Good Night - listen in bed to help your mind and body prepare for sleep and drift off into dreams.
