Into the Winter Nest: A Yoga Nidra Journey

Deb Phelps

December 11 2025

Settle into a cozy sanctuary of rest with this deeply soothing Yoga Nidra designed for the quiet, introspective energy of the winter season.

In this guided journey, you’ll be invited into your own winter nest—a warm, nurturing inner space where the body softens, the breath slows, and the heart can release the heaviness of the year.

This practice includes:
✨ A gentle solstice-themed introduction
✨ A heart-centered Sankalpa (intention)
✨ A full 61-point rotation of consciousness
✨ Calming 4–6 vagal breath guidance
✨ A warm winter-nest visualization
✨ A soft, slow return with a Winter Blessing

Perfect for:
• Deep rest + nervous system reset
• Emotional softening during winter
• Solstice reflection + renewal
• Stress and anxiety relief
• Evening grounding
• Resting after a long or difficult year

Wrap yourself in blankets, settle into your nest, and let this Yoga Nidra hold you in warmth and ease.

May this practice bring softness, ease, and the returning light of the solstice into your heart.
