Our guest, yoga teacher Kelly Smith, was a Savasana-skipper before discovering the subtler aspects of yoga. Now, she teaches meditation and Yoga Nidra almost exclusively! Today she shares her personal story as well as tons of fantastic tips. We cover: What to do if your mind is racing during Savasana or meditation. The pros and cons of guided versus non-guided meditations. Are “guided” meditations a crutch? We end with her shortlist on how to create (and teach fantastic!) guided meditations for your students, family or friends. If you want to create meditations or start meditating, this episode will inspire you!
