rest is the back-to-school supply you didn’t know you needed.

Hi Mama — this bundle was designed with you in mind, too.

What is Yoga Nidra?
Yoga Nidra (sometimes called “sleep yoga”) is a restful, guided practice that helps the brain slow down, the nervous system settle, and the body fully relax. Your child will listen to a soothing story while lying down in a cozy spot—and their mind and body will do the rest.

You can listen with your child—in fact, we highly recommend it. You’ll both benefit from the nervous system regulation, emotional balance, and deep calm it brings (without needing to “do” anything).

🌟 3 Benefits You’ll Both Feel:

  • Better sleep (especially during the back-to-school transition)

  • Improved focus + emotional regulation during the day

  • A gentle way to bond and calm together—without screen time or extra pressure

🎧 How to Use the Recordings:

  • Once you’ve listened to “ONE-FOUR” , use them in any order.

  • We suggest starting with the Ready to Rest (short) tracks and working your way up to the longer practices.

  • Or—let your child choose what feels best for them that day.

  • Headphones or not— up to you and your child.

  • All your child needs is to feel safe and comfortable—whether that’s lying in bed, snuggled on the couch, or resting with a favorite stuffed animal.

You know your child best. Follow their rhythm—and yours.

✨ Start small. Rest often. Connect deeply.

Help your child transition into a new season of learning with ease, calm, and clarity. Whether they’re heading to a classroom, learning under the trees, or exploring from home, this bundle is designed to support their nervous system—and yours.

This digital download includes kid-friendly Yoga Nidra audio sessions to meet your child wherever they are—before learning, after a meltdown, or as a wind-down ritual. These restful stories help children feel safe in their bodies and tap into the magic of stillness.

✨ Welcome Audio for Parents/Educators
Start here: a short, heartfelt message from me, Amy, to help you get the most out of the bundle.

Q: What is Yoga Nidra, anyway?
A: Yoga Nidra (aka “sleep yoga”) is a deeply restful audio experience where your child simply lies down, gets cozy, and listens. There are no poses to hold or instructions to follow — just rest, imagination, and gentle guidance. It’s like a calming bedtime story for the nervous system.

Q: How does it help?
A: Research shows that just 20 minutes of Yoga Nidra can offer the brain the same benefits as 2–3 hours of deep sleep. That means:

  • Better focus and smoother transitions

  • More calm energy, less overwhelm

  • Support for emotional regulation

  • Healthier, more restorative sleep

Yoga Nidra is also showing promise for children with:

  • Autism spectrum disorder (ASD)

  • ADHD

  • Sensory sensitivity

  • Sleep challenges

  • Anxiety and stress-related issues

Q: Is it accessible for my child?

A: Yes. Yoga Nidra is 100% inclusive — it meets children exactly where they are. Whether your child is neurodivergent, high-energy, sensitive, or has mobility, language or cognitive differences, they can listen, rest, and receive. There’s no way to do it wrong.

Q: Can we listen together?
A: Absolutely. Many parents find it just as beneficial for themselves. You can press play during quiet time at home, as part of your bedtime routine, or anytime your child needs a moment to reset. (We recommend headphones if listening in the car.)

Q: Where should we start?
A: I suggest beginning with “RHYME: and the “READY TO REST” tracks — short and sweet — and work your way up to longer sessions if and when it feels good. Kids love choosing for themselves, and this practice grows with them.

Q: How should we use the recordings?

A: You can follow the order—starting with the shortest tracks and building up—or choose based on your child’s immediate need. The list mirrors the flow of a full Yoga Nidra, broken into bite-sized rest moments. There’s no right or wrong way—just let it feel good and be easy.

Q: When is the best time to listen to these recordings?

A: These recordings are best enjoyed in the morning or afternoon, when your child needs a reset, boost in focus, or emotional balance. Yoga Nidra isn’t just rest—it helps kids feel more calm, clear-headed, focused, and less reactive. Research shows it supports nervous system regulation, improves attention, and builds emotional resilience—without making kids groggy.

Think of it like charging up their inner battery with peaceful energy. Listening too close to bedtime might actually make them feel more alert instead of sleepy.

✨ Looking for something to help your child fall asleep?
You may love the Lil Nidra Babes Sleep Bundle, which includes cozy recordings that trail off into sweet dreams—no chime at the end, just peaceful sleep.

Q: Are these recordings trauma-informed?

A: Yes. These Yoga Nidra experiences are created to be gentle, invitational, and accessible to all children—regardless of ability level, attention span, or mood that day. There’s no pressure to be still, no “right” way to listen, and no expectation for a child to stay quiet or lie down in any particular position. Comfort is key. Your child can keep their eyes open, closed, or somewhere in between. This is a safe space for rest, not performance.

Q: Does my child need to listen to the entire recording for it to work?
A: Not at all. Even a few minutes of Yoga Nidra can shift the nervous system and offer real benefits. These recordings range in length to support different needs, but the most important thing is your child’s sense of safety and comfort. Let them lead. Some days they may want the full experience, other days just a minute or two. It’s all perfect.

Q: When is the best time for my child to listen to a recording?
A: It depends on your child’s energy, rhythm, and needs. The Quick Calm and Focused Flow recordings are great for morning routines, midday transitions, or post-activity grounding. The Deep Dive Rest tracks are best earlier in the day—using them too close to bedtime might bring on calm but alert focus, not sleepiness.

A full-length Yoga Nidra recording is also a powerful tool before or after learning something challenging, helping your child integrate new information and return to balance with greater clarity.

If you're looking for a recording to help your child fall asleep, stay tuned—sleep-specific recordings are in the works! Those will be designed to support bedtime routines and deeper overnight rest.

Q: What age is this bundle appropriate for?

A: These recordings are recommended for ages 5–12. However, every child is unique, and you know your little one best. Some younger children may love to listen along, especially when snuggled up beside you, while older kids may enjoy them more independently. These practices are designed to support focus, calm, and creativity—universal needs for all ages.

Q: Can my younger child or bilingual/multilingual child benefit from these sessions?

A: Yes. While younger children or children learning English may not follow every prompt, you can help them engage by listening together, offering a favorite blanket, or letting them hold a cozy toy during the session. Many enjoy listening to the sound of the voice, the rhythm of the words, and the music of the breath. Studies show that listening to guided meditation in a non-native language effectively lowers stress and anxiety. The same applies to very young listeners—even if they don’t understand every word, their nervous systems still receive the benefits.

For example, see: Kimble, B., McGeown, S. P., & Barac, R. (2021). Bilingual guided meditation (BGM) as a tool for stress reduction in second language learners. Results showed significant calming effects—even when students didn’t fully understand the language—highlighting the power of tone, rhythm, and presence.

Q: Are these for adults too?

A: Absolutely. While designed with children in mind, many adults find these sessions calming, centering, and even joyful to share with their child. Parents and caregivers are welcome (and encouraged!) to rest alongside their children. You might be surprised how much you enjoy it too.

Q: How do I know if this is the right fit for my child?

A: Try one recording together and notice how it feels. If your child becomes more relaxed, focused, or even sleepy—that’s a sign it’s working. Trust your child (and your intuition)—there’s absolutely room in this practice for everyone who needs calm, including grown-ups! These sessions can be a beautiful moment of shared stillness and benefit for both children and adults alike.
