Recorded live May 1, 2024, at Blue Hot Yoga www.bluehotyoga.com
by Melissa Abbott after 26 postures and 2 breathing exercises in a Hatha Yoga class.
This Spring Renewal Yoga Nidra honors the tradition of May 1 or May Day, which is known in the Celtic Tradition as Beltane.
Beltane is a Celtic festival that marks the beginning of the warmer season, typically celebrated on May 1st. The origins of Beltane can be traced back to ancient Gaelic traditions and is one of the four Gaelic seasonal festivals, along with Imbolc, Lughnasadh, and Samhain.
Beltane is a fire festival that celebrates fertility, growth, and the blossoming of the earth. It is a time when the veil between the human world and the spirit world is believed to be thin, allowing for easier communication with the divine and the fae folk.
Traditionally, Beltane was a time for lighting bonfires, dancing around the Maypole, and performing rituals to honor the earth and encourage abundance and prosperity for the coming season.
Today, Beltane is still celebrated by modern people as a time to honor the earth, connect with the cycles of nature, and celebrate the vitality and energy of the season. It is a time for planting seeds, setting intentions, and embracing the energy of growth and renewal that comes with the warmer months.

Yoga Nidra Trainng
I am thrilled to be conducting a Three Hour Training/Presentation via zoom today on my book “Yoga Nidra Illuminated, Art of Crafting Yoga Nidra Meditation for Yoga Teachers and Students” with the Native Strength Revolution Group and Kate Herrera. This group is dedicated to training Indigenous Native Americans to become Yoga Teachers in their communities, many of which are located on Reservations throughout North America and Canada.
What makes this opportunity so special is that I have been teaching a History of Hatha Yoga Presentation to several teacher trainings for Native Strength Revolution in recent years. Last year, they expressed interest in learning about Yoga Nidra and how to practice it. With their encouragement, I wrote a book on creating yoga nidra meditations. While I typically incorporate non dual Shaiva and Buddhist Tantra meditation techniques (which align with my personal path) in many of my yoga nidras, the steps outlined in my book can be adapted to incorporate a variety of other techniques as well. For instance: you can take the same steps from my book and use any number of other spiritual styles to tailor your own Yoga Nidras. Whether your path is Intellectual, Mystical, Social, Ancestor, Mindfulness, or Service oriented to create beautiful and relevant meditations for your Yoga Community. I love this beautiful community doing incredible work and want to tell you about them and thank them for including me.
