The place for high-quality scripts

What makes these yoga nidra scripts different

Invitational phrasing

Invitational and permissive phrasing instead of commands.

Choice and real consent

Choice-based language that prioritizes autonomy. Falling asleep, staying alert, or feeling nothing in particular are all valid.

Two kinds of scripts

Trauma-sensitive scripts for general classes and private clients, and trauma-informed scripts for clinical and trauma-specific settings.

A complete class structure

Guidance for before, during, and after the practice, with flexible timing cues and (pause) markers.

Hi, I'm Audrey

My biggest teachers have been my private clients. Over nearly 10 years of one-on-one sessions, I could see when a direct instruction made someone tense up instead of let go. So I stopped telling people what to do and started inviting them to choose.

That's why I write these scripts. They're the kind I wish I'd had when I started.
