NIDRISTA is devoted to supporting women in reclaiming their right to rest. Whether you’re seeking stress relief, nervous system regulation, or a deeper connection to yourself, NIDRISTA is here to gently guide you home.
NIDRISTA is a play on the Sanskrit word nidrā, meaning ‘sleep’, and can be understood as ‘one who rests’ or ‘one who practises yoga nidrā’.
JOHANNA ANDERSSON
Welcome! I’m Johanna — a Stockholm-based yoga nidrā teacher and energy healer on a mission to restore rest in a world addicted to doing. Blending traditional practices with my own intuitive gifts, I offer deep, liberating rest through nourishing sessions and recordings.
A Cancer sun and mother of two, my greatest joy is to nurture and guide individuals back home to themselves. I’m a devoted advocate of Nidrā Shakti (the divine power of rest and sleep), fiercely committed to normalising rest as a radical act of self-care and sustainability, and firmly believe that the well-rested woman can truly achieve anything.
After spending well over a decade in the fast-paced fashion industry as a stylist, editor, and copywriter — while battling stress and anxiety — I’ve experienced firsthand the toll of exhaustion. Now, in my resting era, I’m determined to unveil the illusions of modern life, wielding rest as a gateway to truth and transformation.
The foundations of my work
I’m trained in Vinyasa Krama Yoga (250h, Yoga Folks, Stockholm), Total Yoga Nidrā (60h, Yoga Nidrā Network, London), Prāṇāyāma/Breathwork (50h, Yoga Folks), and Restorative Yoga/Rituals & Prayers/Vedantic & Tantric Philosophy, (60h, Yoga Folks). I’m also a certified Reiki Healer (First and Second Degree, Usui Shiki Ryoho).
