Yoga Nidra, also known as Yogic Sleep, is a meditative practice that allows your consciousness to reach a powerful place between your sleeping and waking state.
This state of mind is transformative and can be used to promote stress-relief, deep relaxation, and lessen anxious feelings. Yoga Nidra is most useful when used as part of a preventative practice as it promotes a deep physical, emotional and mental relaxation, cultivating a greater sense of well-being.
This type of meditation is well suited for people who suffer from sleep issues, anxiousness, stressors in life, or for those who simply wish to experience a deeper peace of mind and greater relaxation.
