Yoga Nidra and Non-Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR).
Welcome! I’m Kate Rock, a certified Yoga Teacher specialising in Yoga Nidra (500+ hour YTT and professional voice actor).
This channel offers deeply restorative Yoga Nidra and Non-Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR) practices to support better sleep, stress and anxiety relief, nervous system regulation, burnout recovery, and emotional healing.
Yoga Nidra - yogic sleep - is a guided practice that brings you into the liminal state between waking and sleep - where the body rests deeply, the mind softens, and lasting transformation can occur. In this space, profound rest, healing, and clarity naturally arise.
I first discovered Yoga Nidra during teacher training in 2019. Since then, I’ve devoted myself to studying, embodying, and sharing this transformative practice - blending traditional wisdom with modern neuroscience, trauma-aware principles, and the art of voice.
Yoga Nidra is your secret super power!
NIDRAWORKS - Yoga Nidra & NSDR with Kate Rock
New practice available tonight - a 25-minute Non-Sleep Deep Rest designed to do one thing: reset your nervous system.
Not just rest - genuinely recover.
Combining the science-backed Non-Sleep Deep Rest protocol with a guided body scan, physiological sigh breathwork, and opponent processing techniques, this practice moves you from sympathetic overdrive into parasympathetic dominance - restoring mental clarity, dropping cortisol, and rebuilding your capacity to meet the demands of your day.
I hope you enjoy!

NIDRAWORKS - Yoga Nidra & NSDR with Kate Rock
I recently came across a fascinating paper exploring Yoga Nidra (often termed ‘Non-Sleep Deep Rest’/NSDR) in the context of sports: THE THIN LINE BETWEEN WAKING AND SLEEPING IN ATHLETES. A CALL FOR YOGA NIDRA IN THE SPORTING CONTEXT. See link below.
Yoga Nidra has shown significant benefits for athletes, including improvements in sleep quality and latency, and physiological responses like increased parasympathetic dominance and cardiac vagal control. The authors of the paper call for a greater incorporation of YN into athletic training regimens to enhance both physical performance and overall well-being.
Yoga Nidra/NSDR isn't just another relaxation technique. It's a science-backed game-changer for physical and mental recovery.
In just 30-60 minutes, it’s said Yoga Nidra can mimic the effects of 4 hours of sleep. (“Indeed, 1 h of practice is judged as restorative and rejuvenating as 4 h of ordinary sleep (Saraswati, 2009).”
It enhances heart rate variability, reduces cortisol, and promotes deep brainwave activity for restorative rest.
Athletes benefit with better sleep, reduced stress, improved performance, and faster recovery.
Practicing Yoga Nidra/NSDR regularly boosts emotional regulation and mental clarity - vital in high-pressure situations.
Whether you're an athlete, student, or just fatigued, this guided practice can be your secret weapon to balance and renewal. 💥
