The Practices

Each season of Collective Practice features new practices to tap into growth, inner wisdom, and liberation.

You’re invited to choose what practice works for you based on where you’re at in life right now — your body’s needs often change with the seasons.

All levels of experience are welcome.

All practices are less than 20 minutes, on-demand, and available for offline listening - so you can practice at home or on the go.

This journey is designed for everyone. Collective Practice serves to reignite or add to an existing practice, or to help you start a new one.

Each cohort features practices curated for the season.
Together, we will learn from the rhythm of nature.

  • The Practice //

    This meditative practice brings you to a state of complete relaxation. Somewhere between waking and sleeping, Yoga Nidra helps balance the hemispheres of the brain while providing a rich landscape to cultivate intuition, connect with authentic self, rest in deep, undisturbed peace, and release unhealthy mental patterns. It also allows the body to go into a restorative state that can support healing and rejuvenation. Scientifically proven to support delta brain waves (the most restorative of deep sleep stages) Yoga Nidra is beneficial for anyone suffering from insomnia, stress, anxiety, depletion or lack of focus. 

    Set your intention, support inner reprogramming and rest in your true self.
