  Yoga Nidra for Deep Sleep: 20-Minute Script . At YOGA COTSWOLD , we often hear the same quiet confession after class: “I’m exhausted, but I can’t switch off.” Modern life pulls the nervous system in every direction. Screens glow late into the evening, thoughts loop endlessly, and sleep becomes shallow or broken. However, there is a practice that gently leads you back to deep, nourishing rest. That practice is Yoga Nidra for deep sleep . Guided by NAZUNA YEO , this 20-minute approach does not demand flexibility, strength, or even prior yoga experience. Instead, it invites you to lie down, stay still, and listen. And yet, within that simplicity lies profound transformation. What Is Yoga Nidra? Yoga Nidra , often called yogic sleep, is a guided meditation technique designed to bring the body into deep relaxation while keeping the mind softly aware. Unlike traditional sleep, where awareness disappears, Yoga Nidra allows you to hover between waking and dreaming. As a result, th...

 Yoga for Grief: Gentle Restorative Practice . Grief arrives quietly for some and crashes in like a storm for others. It may follow the loss of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a change in health, or even a shift in identity. However it appears, it reshapes daily life. At YOGA COTSWOLD , I, NAZUNA YEO , hold space for those walking through sorrow. Through Yoga for Grief , we use a gentle restorative practice to support the body and soothe the heart. While nothing can remove loss, the right practice can help you breathe again. Moreover, it can steady your nervous system, soften physical tension, and gradually restore trust in your body. Understanding Grief in the Body Grief does not live only in the mind. Instead, it settles in the chest, tightens the throat, and weighs heavily on the shoulders. Many people notice shallow breathing, fatigue, headaches, or digestive changes. Therefore, when we address grief, we must include the body. Restorative yoga for grief focuses o...

  Yoga for Men Over 40: Mobility for Hips, Hamstrings, and Back . For many men, turning 40 feels like a quiet turning point. You might still feel strong, capable, and active, yet your body starts giving subtle warnings. Perhaps your lower back feels tighter after sitting too long. Maybe your hamstrings complain when you bend down to tie your shoes. Or your hips simply don’t move like they used to. However, ageing doesn’t have to mean stiffness, discomfort, or a gradual loss of mobility. In fact, with the right approach, your 40s can be the beginning of better movement, better posture, and better long-term health. At YOGA COTSWOLD , yoga teacher NAZUNA YEO specialises in helping people reconnect with their bodies through practical and accessible movement. Her focus is not about perfect poses. Instead, it’s about improving everyday function, reducing pain, and building resilience through yoga for men over 40 . So, if you want healthier hips, looser hamstrings, and a stronger back,...

  Hatha vs Vinyasa vs Yin: Which Yoga Style Is Best for You? . If you have ever searched for a yoga class in the Cotswolds, you have probably noticed how many styles are available. One timetable might offer Hatha Yoga , Vinyasa Yoga , and Yin Yoga all in the same week. Naturally, you may wonder: Which one should I choose? More importantly, which yoga style will actually suit my body, lifestyle, and energy levels? Although all yoga styles share the same roots, they can feel completely different in practice. Some classes are strong and sweaty, while others are slow and meditative. Some focus on movement, whereas others encourage stillness.
