WHAT IS YOGA NIDRA

Yoga Nidra is also known as ‘guided sleep meditation’ or ‘yogic sleep’. In which the practice takes you on a deep journey through the different levels and layers of your being (Koshas). This guided meditation is generally practiced in a laying down position (Savasana) with a strategic script and a Sankapla (intention) in place. 

Not only can Yoga Nidra help reduce stress, anxiety and fatigue. During the deep state of relaxation that yoga nidra induces, an awareness of one’s surroundings is increased and that receptivity and learning abilities are enhanced. 

The stages of body scan and breath awareness alone can be practiced to calm the nervous system, leading to less stress and better health.
