About this listen

Storytellers Grove is a podcast exploring brand, creativity, and embodiment — with conversations and practices to support how we create. I’m Amanda Grover, a brand strategist and yoga teacher. I return again and again to one guiding question: What childhood memory makes your life make sense? Early experiences often shape how we create, lead, and tell our stories. They are alive within us, quietly influencing our work, our choices, and the narratives we share with the world. On this show, we explore those threads — the stories we inherit, the ones we suppress, and the ones we consciously reclaim. Through reflective conversations with industry experts, grounding practices, and deep dives into brand storytelling, we examine how personal narrative, culture, creativity, and purpose intersect. The Grove is a place to return to: a space where storytelling, belonging, and personal evolution root us into who we’re becoming. Each episode invites you to connect more deeply with yourself, your work, and the communities you’re shaping. Tune in to nurture grounded creativity, authentic presence, and collaborative growth — and leave inspired to bring your vision into the world with intention and heart.Copyright 2025 Amanda Grover Economics Leadership Management & Leadership Self-Help Spirituality Success

  • 36. Yoga Nidra for Deep Rest & Self-Realization | Exploring the Five Koshas
    Dec 29 2025

    In this episode, Amanda Grover guides you through a deeply restorative Yoga Nidra meditation rooted in the ancient yogic framework of the five koshas — the physical body, breath, mind, wisdom, and bliss layers of being.

    This guided Yoga Nidra invites you to move inward through each kosha, not to change or transcend them, but to soften beneath them and rest in pure awareness. Through breath awareness, visualization, body sensing, and intention-setting (sankalpa), this practice supports nervous system regulation, emotional integration, and profound rest.

    This Yoga Nidra is designed to help you:

    1. Calm the nervous system and release physical tension
    2. Quiet the mind and observe thoughts without attachment
    3. Explore the five koshas as a pathway to self-realization
    4. Rest beyond identity, conditioning, and mental effort
    5. Access clarity, intuition, and inner stillness

    This practice is ideal for evening wind-down, before sleep, or anytime you need deep rest. No movement is required. You may lie down or sit comfortably and allow the practice to unfold.

    • Calm the mind and body
    • Integrate the experiences of the year
    • Feel grounded, warm, and supported
    • Access inner stillness during a busy season

    In this deeply restful Yoga Nidra practice, you'll be gently guided into a state between waking and sleeping—where the body relaxes completely and the mind stays alert. Through breath awareness, body scanning, and visualization, you'll connect to your third eye center and anchor into your inner wisdom. Ideal for times of transition or when seeking clarity, this practice supports intuition, emotional release, and full-body renewal. Settle in, surrender to stillness, and let your inner light guide you home.
