Yoga Nidra

WHAT IS YOGA NIDRA?

Yoga Nidra is a systematic method of guided relaxation that has a profound effect on the body, mind and emotions. During the practice, you lie down in a comfortable position and are asked to remain awake and relaxed. The instructor will guide you through various stages of deeper relaxation where you turn your awareness to the inner landscape, away from external experiences.

During Yoga Nidra, you will enter the hypnagogic state between wakefulness and dreaming which we usually only spend a few minutes in daily as we are drift off to sleep at night. Here, the effect on the mind can be very powerful because as the mind becomes more relaxed, it also becomes more receptive. The practice can help us to increase our creativity, aid in memory retention, reduce stress, overcome past traumas, release our samskaras (mental impressions), and more fully embody our true nature.
