Yoga Nidra, or yogic sleep, is a state of consciousness between waking and sleeping, induced by a guided meditation.
It is practiced lying down, in a comfortable position. Your attention is drawn inwards and you begin to surf between the states of wakefulness and sleep. The breath slows and the system calms downs, locating a state of balance within itself. This allows space for unconscious aspects of the mind to reveal themselves.
Yoga Nidra releases stress from the system. It takes us into a harmonious state of being where we can become aware of our expansive nature, our interconnectedness with the whole, the truth of who we are, and, as we do, deep bliss bubbles up.
Who is it for?
Absolutely anyone can practice Yoga Nidra. If you are feeling stressed, anxious, or having difficulty in letting go, this can be a great practice for you.
What can Yoga Nidra do for you?
Reduce Stress
The practice of Yoga Nidra allows the body to relax. And as the nervous system calms down, unwinds, any emotional tension can be released.
Enhance Cognitive Performance
Yoga Nidra improves cognitive function by creating space in the brain. It does this by helping reduce stress so that the brain is no longer overwhelmed with emotions, and can perform everyday tasks to the best of its ability. It, also, improves attention and prevents age-related cognitive decline.
Shift Habits
Yoga Nidra trains the brain to observe thoughts from a distance. This new perspective allows you to change old patterns that were once engrained.
Improve Sleep
Yoga Nidra improves your sleep quality. It helps you fall asleep faster and makes staying asleep more effortless. Accessing a deep sleep state is so important for physical health and wellbeing.
A Broader Perspective
When we are caught up in life, we can miss the bigger picture. Yoga Nidra allows us to slow down, to experience the truth of who we are, to Be instead of this incessant doing.
Bliss of Being
As we drop deeper into ourselves, we start to experience more and more bliss. This bliss is your birthright. It’s always right here, but we have to come off the surface in order to experience it.
