Envision that emoji on your smart phone where the person's eyes are open wide, looking frantic. That was 71-year-old certified Daring to Rest facilitator Barbara without yoga nidra. After retirement she received a diagnosis of an auto immune disease. As a young teenager she was ill with golf-ball sized lymph glands and no one knew what the root cause was. As a child, while Barbara was given positive rest messages, she also received a lot of pressure to get As in school. "I always felt pressure to do more," Barbara says. The Daring to Rest Academy influenced her to do less and has made a huge a difference in how she sees the world and in being less reactive to everyday life. Today Barbara offers yoga nidra to women in their older years at the end of the yoga classes she teaches. Truthfully, she does not feel well-rested all the time. "I'm a work in progress and feeling emotionally way better than before practicing yoga nidra." Listen to Barbara's story to learn how she went from frantic emoji to the one that's smiling with three hearts.
