    Full Moon Yoga Nidra | November Beaver Moon | YWM 712

    Revive & Thrive Incubator http://bit.ly/ywmmembership  Get My Yin Yoga Book Here https://melissawest.com/book/  1:1 Abundance Code Readings https://melissawest.com/abundance/  Join me for a soothing Full Moon Yoga Nidra as we honor the luminous Full Beaver Moon, the final supermoon of the year, shining larger and brighter in the sky. This unique full moon calls us to gather our inner resources and prepare for the darker winter months, a time of deep rest and gentle reflection. Just as the beaver diligently constructs its lodge in preparation for the cold, we, too, can use this time to clear emotional and mental tension, creating spaciousness within ourselves. By releasing what we no longer need, we open up space for true rest, inviting peace and stillness into our hearts and minds. In this Full Beaver Moon Yoga Nidra, we’ll explore the symbolism of the beaver’s cozy, protective lodge as a source of inspiration for creating safe, supportive environments around and within us. Winter invites us to slow down, conserve energy, and embrace the quiet transformation that comes with inward reflection. As we transition from autumn’s dynamic, transformative energy into the introspective stillness of winter, this practice will guide you to settle into your own inner sanctuary—a place where rest, renewal, and gentle growth can unfold. Let this yoga nidra be your time to pause, to connect with your natural rhythms, and to prepare for the season of quiet introspection ahead.

    Restorative Yoga for Back Pain Relief | Yoga with Melissa 710

    Restorative Yoga for Back Pain Relief | Yoga with Melissa 710 Revive & Thrive Incubator http://bit.ly/ywmmembership  Get My Yin Yoga Book Here https://melissawest.com/book/  1:1 Abundance Code Readings https://melissawest.com/abundance/  In this restorative yoga class, we’ll gently explore ways to relieve back pain by cultivating patience, compassion, and self-kindness. Using restorative yoga poses for back pain, we’ll focus on accepting our current experience without forcing change, inviting a sense of openness and ease into the body.  This practice is about creating space—both physically and emotionally—to release the layers of tension that often accompany chronic back pain. As we breathe deeply, we’ll calm the mind, activate the vagus nerve, and transition from a state of stress to relaxation. Healing back pain is a journey, not a quick fix. I encourage you to celebrate each small victory, whether it’s finding comfort in a pose, feeling a subtle shift in pain, or noticing an increase in your emotional resilience. Restorative yoga gives us the space to be still, to release stored emotions, and to acknowledge that healing is not linear. Take this time to slow down, breathe deeply, and restore balance, as we allow the body to soften and open to its natural healing. Legs up the Wall  Keyhole  Supported Bridge Pose  Hand to Big Toe Pose  Supported Bridge Pose  Reclined Twist  Child’s Pose in Center Reclined Twist  Savasana  Props Needed: Wall, Block, Bolster, Yoga Strap

    Yoga Nidra Rest as Remedy for Nervous System Exhaustion | Navigate Your Nervous System #6 | YWM 709

    Navigate Your Nervous System Cheat Sheet https://melissawest.com/navigate/   In this yoga nidra practice, we will explore the deep restorative power of rest to heal from the exhaustion that comes from chronic stress and overwhelm. This session is designed to address dorsal vagal shutdown, a response in the nervous system where the body "shuts down" to conserve energy after prolonged periods of stress. This shutdown can manifest as profound fatigue, emotional numbness, and a need to withdraw from daily life. Many of us, especially those who habitually overwork, over-give, and push past boundaries, experience this kind of depletion. When our nervous system is constantly activated, it can lead to a state of collapse, where both body and mind feel deeply drained. Yoga nidra offers a pathway back to balance. Through this practice, we will create space for deep rest, allowing the nervous system to reset and recover. You will be guided through gentle body awareness, breathwork, and sensory relaxation, inviting your body to move from exhaustion into a state of healing. This practice is a powerful antidote to overdoing, helping you reconnect with your inner reserves and nourish yourself from within. Rest as  remedy is central to this yoga nidra, emphasizing the importance of self-care and boundaries as essential tools in preventing further shutdown. Allow yourself the time and space to experience true rest, replenishing your energy and restoring your body’s natural rhythm.

    Yoga Nidra for Burnout | Navigate Your Nervous System Series #5 | YWM 708

    Yoga Nidra for Burnout Navigate Your Nervous System Cheat Sheet https://melissawest.com/navigate/   Welcome to the second month of our Navigate Your Nervous System Series. This is the fifth class in the series.   Burnout occurs when our body gets stuck in the dorsal shutdown freeze response of the nervous system, triggered by prolonged periods of stress and activation. It arises when we push past our limits, exhausting our physical, mental, emotional, and energetic bodies beyond their capacity to rest and restore. Burnout is more than just physical fatigue—it's a deep soul exhaustion, a sign that the nervous system is in need of regulation. This isn’t your fault. We live in a world that constantly pressures us to be productive, with financial and personal responsibilities pulling us in different directions. It's no wonder we don’t always take the time to recover fully, which only deepens the cycle of depletion. We often override our natural rhythms, pushing through stress and fatigue without proper recovery. But there is hope. By tuning into the body’s natural rhythms of repair and restoration, we can heal from burnout. This yoga nidra practice will not only help you recover from burnout but also prevent future episodes. Yoga nidra goes beyond simple rest—it restores your nervous system, reconnecting you with your body’s innate wisdom. The more we embrace slowness and moments of stillness in our lives, the more we heal and build resilience.

This is the fourth class in the series.   This Yoga Nidra for Depression is a compassionate practice designed to support those navigating the weight of depression by fostering gentle connection, self-compassion, and a sense of safety. Drawing from the teachings of Deb Dana and Polyvagal Theory, this guided journey helps you tune into your body’s natural intelligence, acknowledging the protective role of the nervous system.  Through mindful awareness, you will be invited to explore the dorsal vagal response, which can manifest as disconnection or numbness, and gradually shift toward states of connection and ease. With each step, you'll be guided to honor your body’s responses with kindness, without rushing or forcing change. In this practice, we use tools like mindful breathing, awareness of opposites, and a compassionate body scan to gently reconnect with yourself. As you move through the practice, you will be invited to hold space for yourself with compassion, curiosity and non-judgment. The practice encourages a deep sense of self-compassion, allowing you to return from the experience with a renewed sense of connection and safety, both within your body and in your external world.

    12 Yoga Poses for Positive STRESS Response | Navigate Your Nervous System Series #3 | YWM 706

    12 Yoga Poses for Positive STRESS Response | Navigate Your Nervous System Series #3 | YWM 706 Navigate Your Nervous System Cheat Sheet https://melissawest.com/navigate/   In the third class of the navigating your nervous system series, we will explore sympathetic activation. Over the last two weeks we have explored the “negative” sides of the “fight and flight” responses of your sympathetic activation. However, in this class we will explore how sympathetic activation can often be employed for positive outcomes in our bodies and throughout our day.  In this class, we explore the concept of navigating the nervous system through mindful movement and breath, embracing the sympathetic nervous system’s activation as a natural and necessary part of life. Stress, when managed with care, can become a source of growth, learning, and resilience. By working through postures that activate and release stress, we practice balancing sympathetic arousal with relaxation, recognizing that stress signals engagement in meaningful aspects of our lives. Throughout this practice, we cultivate compassion, allowing ourselves to move through stress with kindness and a deeper understanding of its role in our personal evolution. 12 Yoga Poses for Positive Stress Response Sequence * Spinal Warm Up * Kapalabhati Breath * Frog Pose * Lunge * Pyramid * Knocking on the Door of Life * Knocking on Meridians * Breath of Joy * Uttanasana * Camel * Child's Pose * Reclined Twist Props Needed: Yoga blocks, bolster, meditation cushion  Go to https://melissawest.com/navigate/   to download your Navigate Your Nervous System Cheat sheet
