A free guided Yoga Nidra story | Ages 3–8 | Created by Sarah | Nidra Mind
The Slow, Slow Turtle is a gentle story with Yoga Nidra woven through it, made for the moments when a child feels wound up, overwhelmed, or simply can’t settle. As the turtle moves slowly and carries her calm with her, your child is guided through soft body awareness and deep relaxation.
No rushing. No screens. Just a story, a turtle, and calm.
Suitable for children aged 3–8. Perfect for parents, carers, teachers, and early years educators to use at home, at bedtime, or at quiet time.
What to expect
As the story plays, your child will be gently guided through:
A calming story – to capture the imagination and slow everything down
A gentle body scan – woven into the narrative to release tension and wriggles
A deep relaxation journey – to help your child feel settled, safe, and calm
Use it after school, before bed, or whenever big feelings need somewhere to land. No experience needed. Just find a cosy spot, press play, and let the story do the rest.
