SE4: EP6 How Deep Yogic Rest in Menopause Helps You Unlock Your Feminine Power Clarissa Kristjansson 32:39

In Menopause, we can feel like life is falling apart. Deep rest can provide us with an anchor when we are going through change and the world feels uncertain.

Studies have shown that yoga nidra, a form of sleep meditation, can help us to manage many of the common symptoms of perimenopause like anxiety, depression, insomnia and more.

This week join Clarissa and her guest Karen Brody a women’s well-being and leadership expert who helps women journey from worn out to well rested and then dream big in their work and lives. A certified yoga nidra instructor, she is the founder of Daring to Rest™, a yoga nidra-based self-empowerment program for women..

We dive deep into:

What yoga nidra encompasses
Why it can be emotionally challenging and even frightening to surrender to deep rest
How Menopause calls us to step into the truest version of who we are and how deep yogic rest will help you find that true self
How starting with rest as our foundation supports us to make and sustains changes to our diet, exercise and more
How the wisdom that is unlocked during deep rest helps us to be a better advocate of our own help with our healthcare providers
