Yogic Sleep: The Magic of Yoga Nidra with Kelly Smith

This month on Yoga Magic, we're talking about the magic of the brain. Kelly Smith is an expert in restoring the mind, body and spirit through restful practices like meditation, restorative yoga and Yoga Nidra.  Kelly is an E-RYT 500, YACEP, founder of Yoga For You, and host of the iTunes chart topping podcast, Mindful in Minutes. Kelly believes that there is not a one-size-fits-all approach to yoga and meditation and cultivates an environment that empowers her students to listen to their bodies, explore their personal practice through more than just yoga poses, and to find joy and gratitude for the life they have by connecting with the true self. Kelly specializes in one-on-one yoga and meditation teaching/training and unique workshops and retreats for students of all levels, and mentors yoga teachers who are ready to grow their practice and thrive in their teaching.
