Animals & Yoga Nidra: I want to hear your experiences!! Do your pets seem to LOVE yoga Nidra? Have wildlife come to you while you are practicing Yoga Nidra in nature? I would love to hear about this in the comments below (and what is it that you think attracts animals to this practice so much?) 😆🐱🐶🐰🐹🦜

Ally, I have been using your guidance for meditation for about 3 weeks. I mostly tune in to your sessions to restore my nervous system. I usually nap afterwards and wake up refreshed. I am 73 years old and a cancer survivor of 10 years. who has neuropathy in hands and lower legs and feet.

My rescue doggie loves to settle in for a YN nap. I put your guidance on the TV me on sofa, him in his bed & I can hear his gentle breathing as you sooth his cares away (& mine too of course!!) It’s soooo wonderful ❤🙏

My cat loves yoga nidra!! She makes biscuits on my belly while I'm taking deep breaths at the beginning, and then lays on me for the entire practice. She actually reminds me when it's time for practice 😊

My Dog will always find a spot close by and settles with me. Quite often when the session finishes I will find the cat has joined us too and the family feels connected and complete 🐶

Ally, I was introduced to Yoga Nigra through your work about 8 months ago. My two dogs and kitten have been engaging almost daily since that time and we are all fans. I work from home and find it’s a wonderful reset when I get bogged down or stressed. It helps my large senior dog with his storm anxiety too!

My youngest dog, who is shy and has anxiety, snuggles up with her head by my cheek when I’m doing it and co-regulates with my breathing. It’s absolutely lovely.

A friend of mine has a baby who loves your voice! He falls right asleep on her while she’s listening to your tracks (out loud rather than on headphones). Sadly it doesn’t work on my cat. He’ll jump on me and meow for dinner when I’m mid practice and startle me right out of the blissful state you put me in. 😂

Yes! I did it lying down on my living room floor and my pet rat pickles climbed on me and went to sleep on my chest. It was beautiful ❤️ 🐀

Can't help...have two wild turtles...I think the only thing they do is soak in the sun whenever they feel like it. 🌞🌞

Our beautiful Swiss Shepherd is obsessed with joining me for your YouTube videos. He is highly attuned to signs that I am off to curl up in a yoga nidra nest. He recognises your voice even if I have ear buds in. We have a joke in the family that <cue self sacrificing tone> ‘I am going for a lie down, for Wolf’s mental health’ 😆

I have been using your videos for about a year and right from the beginning my ginger girl cat Olive joins me. She settles down on my chest for the duration. She doesn't do this at any other time! 😺😻 she's an empath, so I think it is the calm and respite that she enjoys. Thank you for your guidance and support through your calming instruction. 😊

@angeliquevanhee7505

Our cat Joan loves it. We usually do yoga nidra each afternoon. We start out with cuddles, then she lays between my feet as i listen to you, Ally. And then we rest about an hour more after enjoying the rest and peace we created. ❤️😍

@kimberlyperillo9990

Funny, I was just telling a client that I even use your Yoga Nidras with my dog and he loves them! Out like a light and snoring like a baby until you say it is time to start bringing awareness back to the room and to start wiggling your toes! Lol!

@bargleboy

Yes! My dog will come and lay by my feet sometimes when I practice, which I absolutely love. But if he doesn’t, he usually falls into a serene nap on his bed— I can tell by the way he snores 🥰

Hi Ally my beautiful Jinny is a very happy & excitable young dog. When I settle down to do your yoga nidra twice a day she watches my preparations & when she hears your voice she hops up beside me & chills for the duration, be it the 30 min gratitude YN or the 60 YN. Thank you so much 🙏
