The Afterglow Yogic Sleep Podcast
Welcome to Afterglow — a platform for Yoga Nidra informed by the concepts of Carl Jung and Internal Family Systems. This podcast is a space for you to discover the richness of your inner world and to find comfort in the face of life’s many changes.
My name is Ella. I am a qualified Yoga Nidra teacher and I created this space to offer an accessible resource to all who are seeking some inner light and who are looking for tools to deepen their experience of joy and resilience in life.
Together we will add more light and more whole-heartedness to the world as we gain increased insight into who we are and how we move through our lives. Join me and occasional guests as we discover hidden depths and supreme joys.
May the afterglow be as bright as the journey is deep.
Each week we will work on a different theme as I guide you through your internal landscape during a Yoga Nidra podcast episode. This gentle, meditation-like practice is a way to discover deep relaxation and build a habit of inner work.
Before I share each week’s Yoga Nidra episode, I will upload a special companion episode in which I will discuss psychoanalytical concepts and applications, and offer you prompts to prepare you for the Yoga Nidra practice to come.
Themes to expect — I move through a rhythm of: — forward reaching Nidras that let you reflect, prepare, dream, create; — healing Nidras that cover specific concerns such as nervous-system resets, bereavement, chronic illnesses, miscarriages, and depression; — curiosity episodes that give you the opportunity to play with no outcome in mind; and — inner child check-ins as this is a vital and under-addressed element of inner work.
Yoga for the Inner World.
“You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait, be quiet, still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.”
―Franz Kafka

Jonah and the Whale
Episode 2
The Jonah and the Whale story is much more than an imaginative adventure, it is a Jungian's dream. Rich with symbolism and the call to transcend — this week’s theme will give you the chance to assess a life choice, possibly a vocation or even a relationship, and give you the time and space to return to an inner knowing.
