​March is National Nutrition Month, and this year, you're invited to consider nourishment beyond food—and the role of rest, breath, and nervous system regulation in supporting digestion, metabolism, and overall well-being. Non-Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR) is a restorative practice that supports the body’s ability to digest, absorb, and integrate not only nutrients, but also daily experiences and stress. When the nervous system shifts out of fight-or-flight and into a state of deep rest, the body is better able to support digestive function, blood sugar balance, and metabolic health. NSDR is rooted in the ancient tradition of yoga nidra (“nidra” meaning sleep) and combines mindful breathing, a guided body scan, and visualization to bring the body into a deeply relaxed yet aware state. This practice offers a powerful complement to nutrition and lifestyle habits by creating the internal conditions necessary for true nourishment.​
