Today find some relaxation in whatever you are doing.  Last Monday we had Julie Murphy @yogaressa on The Yogi Show and she gave an amazing Yoga Nidra session.  If you haven't tried Yoga Nidra I recommend you check it out.  Focusing on the breath, coming back to the body, and then allowing the mind to relax. Find Julie Murphy on the Insight Timer app or on Instagram at @yogaressa.   **This episode is not sponsored by Insight Timer.  I use it myself so I wanted to share my meditation and Yoga Nidra practice. It is one of my favorite apps for meditation. Thank you DJ Taz Rashid for the music today.  Find him at www.djtazrashid.com Intro Song:  Your and I Outro Song:  Gold Flow
