Yoga Nidra meditation uses breathwork, relaxation techniques, rapid imagery, creative visualization, and sacred sound to help yogins explore their potential, their hopes and their dreams for positive transformation. Kristin's Yoga Nidra Meditation is enhanced with sound healing and ends with a sound bath  of antique Tibetan bowls, airy chimes, Crystal bowls and Pyramids, flowing percussive rhythm, traditional harmonium, and the deep tonal vibrations of a Gong to balance all of the chakras and elements of the body.
