A pre-recorded collection of yoga nidra practices for city-dwelling humans craving the connection & wisdom that the spirits of nature bring to life.
To my fellow urbanites & urbanistas…
Do you also sometimes feel like the slow & lazy vibe is something you’ve left behind? Like life is this wild and wakeful experience? (And it’s EXCITING!)
But at the same time, life today comes in a package with long hours spent with technology that somehow make you a liiiiiiiitle bit impatient when the humans (both yourself + those in the world around you) don’t move with the pace of your phone when it has a “LTE” sign in the upper corner?
How would it be to take a step back from sensory-overwhelm?
It may feel counterintuitive to slow-down, do a quick check-in with your heart, and bring attention to yourself to attune to your (actual) needs. It’s normal to feel uneasy—after all, we are trying to function in a society that’s reliant on unnecessary urgency.
May this be your very own permission slip to honor yourself in the moment. ✨
While I love the idea, #slowliving & being in-tune with the inner world EVERY SECOND OF MY LIFE is simply not doable for me.
I like to fantasize about the mindful life I will live once I get rid of my smartphone and move to a cottage next to the lake, with goats and a herb garden. Maybe then, my head would feel lighter and there wouldn’t be 103975 thoughts running through my mind like headless chickens. It would be easier to ground if I was living in nature where I could just let the heaviness of everything I carry drop down into the earth.
But for now, I continue inhabiting a dwelling under the city lights. It is not always pretty, the traffic feels violent, the political correctness is sucking the sassines out of my soul and I feel like I am running out of time—all the time.
THAT BEING SAID—While there will always (or at least until further notice) be times when we rush and live in our head, and situations that require us to move fast & consider more than just our own wellbeing, what we can do is always remember what’s truly important.
I want you to always remember that:
🧡 you are worthy and enough, just as you are.
🧡 you deserve larger margins in your day + space between things.
🧡 there are challenges within listening to your body, but (like Glennon Doyle says) “we can do hard things.”
When you keep remembering, you slowly begin getting better at resisting the tendency to override the tiny little voice inside your heart–call it discernment, inner wisdom or intuition.
Now, you get to remember yourself, feel supported and take care of you with
WILD YOGA NIDRA BUNDLE
a pre-recorded collection of nature-oriented yoga nidra practices for city-dwelling humans craving the connection & wisdom that the spirits of nature bring to life🐍
Yoga nidra is a form of meditation where just laying there, like a cozy burrito in a fluff tortilla, is already enough. 
And a wild yoga nidra is a nidra, co-created with the sounds & spirits of nature. 
I made all of the recordings in the Neretva river valley in 
and you will hear the waves of the Adriatic sea, the Neretva river, the wind, the crickets, the cicadas, and occasionally even the children’s laugh and the sound of a tractor. All of the sounds, together with my voice, co-create the unique soundscape that will hold the hope for you 
My wish is that these sounds will bring you closer to remembering that you are also a part of nature and no matter how far the nature’s wisdom seems, it is always present in your body for you to unplug & recharge.
Inside the WILD YOGA NIDRA BUNDLE, you will find 4 different nidras, each 20-30 minutes long:
EARTH NIDRA
for grounding in your inner being by
- devoting to the wisdom & the imagination within you,
- being completely nourished by the mantra Lam, and
- rooting into knowing you have always been enough.
SHORE NIDRA
for coming home to your inner shores by
- getting cozy with the feeling of receiving,
- connecting to the life-giving boundaries within your body, and
- recentering, rejuvenating and resourcing yourself for the rest of your day.
.
RIVER NIDRA
to surrender to the currents of your inner visions by
- effortlessly relaxing your whole body,
- feeling the inner rivers of creativity, delight & abundance, and
- practicing surrendering to the clarity of your own inner knowing.
MAGICAL GARDEN NIDRA
to celebrate the multitude of worlds by
- coming home to yourself w/ gladness & gratitude,
- cherishing the outer & inner worlds you encounter, and
- tending to your very own inner garden.
Each one is recorded twice–both in 🇸🇮 and 🇬🇧/🇺🇸 (so you get 8 nidras altogether).
I want you to know that you can engage with the recordings in any way you decide—your choices are always celebrated here!
That means that you can:
settle however you find comfortable–lying on your back, your front or on your side,
change your position of rest anytime you wish,
close your eyes or keep them open,
follow my voice or let your mind wander for a spell, and/or
fall asleep if you desire.
Even though pre-recorded, it is still your practice. You cannot do it wrong because there’s nothing to do here.
My biggest wish for you is that the practices make you feel empowered to:
trust yourself and your body,
rely on your intuition as the ultimate authority, and
learn how to decode what the body is saying.
Hey hey hey—I’m Nastja, your trauma-informed BFF and (also) a lyrical yoga nidra teacher.
I’ve always been a sucker for learning new ways on how to improve myself, my relationships, and the world around me. (What I really don’t like in new age spirituality is how oblivious it is to the world’s actual issues. I am big on “personal is political”!)
After some time of ~working on myself~, I began to feel burnt out & fatigued from my own spiritual practice: the very thing that was supposed to make me feel better left me in a frantic state of mind, always wanting to do more–more meditation, more yoga, more training and believing being uncomfortable is the only way to grow (probably because I have spent my whole very short life completely alienated from a sense of ease and safety).
While the spiritual journey is supposed to make you question everything you thought you knew (so much fun, am I right😅), what I noticed with myself & my clients is that it’s important to also incorporate some ease, comfort and solace into the journey of bridging the gap between your outer & inner worlds—because the world is frustrating enough as it is. You deserve to turn the effort mode off sometimes.
I truly believe that being human is about creating. Both yoga nidra and the spirits of nature can help bring the wisdom & the creative processes to life. That is why the wild yoga nidra bundle was co-created with nature herself—to make attuning to your own inner rhythms a little more seamless.
Even if as a city-dwelling human, you don’t have the capacity to visit the spirits of nature in person everyday, with wild yoga nidra, you can still connect to the wisdom they bring to life.
With this being a pre-recorded bundle w/o 1:1 attention from me, I want you to feel fully supported, wherever you currently are on your yoga nidra journey. That is why this offer comes in package with some sick bonuses:
Bonus #1 - YOGA NIDRA NEST GUIDE
Learn about the concept of yoga nidra nest and different ways to prep yourself & your space for the practice. Only practical info that you can incorporate right away (aka you will not have to go buy different new things for your altar). (22€ value)
Bonus #2 - ESSENTIAL SANSKRIT
So you never have to be like “what does this even mean” ever again when hearing a sanskrit word & you finally get to understand the story behind the mantras chanted in the practices. Sanskrit is such a powerful language and as a total language nerd, I am so excited about this bonus!! (45€ value)
Bonus #3 - SANKALPA MINI TRAINING
This bonus is for you if you’ve ever gotten the heebie-jeebies when asked to set an intention for your yoga practice. I break down the concept of sankalpa–a heart’s prayer (you will learn more about the word itself in bonus #2) and how to engage with it to feel supported & comfortable. (22€ value)
All of the bonuses are also recorded in Slovenian as well as in English.

This wild yoga nidra bundle makes the spirits of nature more accessible to you at any time & any place.
Letting go and being held, feeling peaceful in playfulness and knowing that I am enough. This is the wisdom that spending time in nature brings to life for me and it is hard to describe this feeling with words other than “healing”. (as much as I hate this term and mock it with adding a ™ all the time)
I have created all of the recordings while actually being in nature, hoping to make the healing powers of mother earth feel a bit more tangible, even when you don’t have the capacity to go outside.
Not sure if this bundle is something for you?
It might be a great fit if you…
- are a city dweller,
- are craving to connect to the wisdom that the spirits of nature bring to life,
- believe that healing and growth don’t just happen when you are uncomfortable,
- enjoy lying down, and/or if you
- seek a container where you can just exist.
You might want to consider other options if you…
- desire 1:1 attention and more of a made-for-you type of practice,
- are experiencing mental-health symptoms that are making it impossible for you to function,
- have a memory of a traumatic experience related to water as there will be some watery visualizations,
- don’t enjoy listening to the sounds of nature, and/or if
- just the idea of being more or less still for 30 (ish) minutes makes you feel buzzy (in a bad way).
Because I know ya have 'em:
This is a pre-recorded bundle. You get the recordings of the nidras and of the bonus trainings. No live calls.

I go over the details of setting your space for yoga nidra in the “yoga nidra nest” bonus training.
No.
This is suitable for beginners and I cover the basics of
- setting up your space for nidra,
- sanskrit, and
- sankalpa
in the bonus trainings.
“Yoga nidra is a horizontal meditation upon the threshold of sleep, a conscious way to rest that invites you to nourish every aspect of your being.” (Uma Dinsmore-Tuli, Nirlipta Tuli: Yoga Nidra Made Easy)
“Trauma-informed care is an evidence based approach that includes the recognition of the prevalence and impact of trauma and practices to promote safety, compassion and healing.” (Katie Kurtz: CULTIVATE)
I identify as trauma-informed because:
- I have completed a trauma-informed space holding training lead by Katie Kurtz who is a a licensed independent social worker with supervision designation,
- I have learnt skills and tools BEYOND KNOWLEDGE to be actively trauma-informed,
- I am actively committed to integrating this approach into my everyday work & life,
- I have outlined my scope of practice,
- I am engaging in ongoing learning,
- I am doing the tandem work of addressing my role within systems of oppression,
- I am honoring my humanity and lived experiences acknowledging this isn’t an arrival but an evolution that evolves with me.
(This is taken from my mentor’s Katie Kurtz Instagram.)
I use poetical language and USUALLY play original music. But this offering is special, there is no music, because my voice is supported by the sounds of nature, found in the Neretva River Valley.

Included in the price are the 4 recordings of nidras and 3 bonus trainings.
