What is Yoga Nidra?
Yoga Nidra is a guided meditation technique done lying down in Savasana (Corpse Pose). The practice uses body scanning, breath awareness, and imagery to induce deep relaxation, freedom, and ease.
Yoga Nidra is a form of “conscious sleep” or hypnagogic state where the physical body is deeply asleep but the mind remains awake, yet still relaxed. This blissful state of deep relaxation allows us to tap into the unconscious and subconscious levels of the mind and release patterns that are held deep within.
According to studies and ancient scriptures, one hour of Yoga Nidra may be equivalent to four hours of sleep.
