What is Yoga Nidra?

Yoga Nidra, also known as “yogic sleep,” is a guided meditation practice aimed at inducing deep relaxation. Typically practiced in a reclined position with guidance from a teacher, the objective is to achieve a state where the body is completely at ease while the mind remains alert to the experience of being in a profoundly tranquil state.

Through Yoga Nidra, practitioners learn to navigate between wakefulness and sleep, facilitating the body's return to its natural equilibrium (homeostasis) with a calm and balanced breath. This state enables access to the subtle energy flow (prana) within the body, aiding in the identification and dissolution of energy blockages.

Yoga Nidra serves as a deeply rejuvenating and therapeutic practice that promotes relaxation, reduces anxiety, enhances cognitive function, and supports restful sleep. Furthermore, its inclusive nature ensures accessibility to individuals of all backgrounds and abilities.

Gain a comprehensive understanding of the definition, purpose, and techniques involved in achieving the state of Yoga Nidra. Delve into the scientific principles that underpin the profound practice of Yoga Nidra.
