  • Yoga Nidra for Deep Rest — An 10-Minute Guided Practice to Calm the Nervous System
    Jan 13 2026

    Feeling calm? Have a question? Send me a text:)

    A gentle 1o-minute yoga nidra practice to help you soften, rest deeply, and feel supported.

    Welcome. I’m Kassandra with The Calm Lab, and this is a short Yoga Nidra practice for deep rest and nervous system calming.

    This 11-minute guided Yoga Nidra is designed to help you soften your body, quiet the mind, and settle into a state of deep relaxation. You’ll be gently guided through body awareness, breath observation, and calming imagery — inviting your nervous system to release effort and rest.

    This practice is especially supportive if you’re:
    • feeling overstimulated or exhausted
    • struggling to slow down at night
    • carrying tension in your body or mind
    • looking for a safe, grounding way to rest

    There’s nothing to fix or achieve here. You’re invited to lie down, get comfortable, and simply listen. If sleep arrives, allow it. Your nervous system knows how to rest.

    If you’d like continued, gentle support, you’re warmly invited to join my Nervous System Reset — a soft, multi-day experience designed to help you calm your nervous system, restore rhythm, and reconnect with rest. This is not a challenge or a push, but a steady place to land.
    You can learn more at thecalmlab.org.

    This practice is best enjoyed lying down, in the evening, before sleep, or anytime your body is asking for stillness and care.

  • Why You Can't Sleep and What to Do About It
    Jan 6 2026

    Feeling calm? Have a question? Send me a text:)

    In this supportive episode, Kassandra explores why you may be struggling to sleep — whether it’s racing thoughts, physical tension, nighttime anxiety, or an overstimulated nervous system — and what you can gently do about it.

    You’ll learn:
    • what’s happening in your nervous system when sleep won’t come
    • why “trying harder” often makes rest more difficult
    • simple, nervous-system-informed tools using breath, awareness, and gentle movement
    • how to make bedtime feel safer, softer, and more supportive

    This episode blends education with gentle guidance, helping you understand your sleep patterns without judgment while offering practical steps you can use the same night.

    If you’ve been feeling stuck in cycles of poor sleep, anxiety, or exhaustion, you’re not broken — your nervous system may simply be asking for a different kind of support.

    🌿 Want deeper, ongoing support?
    You’re warmly invited to join my Nervous System Reset, a gentle multi-day experience designed to help you calm your nervous system, restore rhythm, and rebuild a more supportive relationship with rest. This is not a challenge or a push — it’s a soft place to land.
