Yoga Nidra is the ancient practice and art of yogic sleep. Students are guided through an extensive body scan followed by visualization, which leads to deep relaxation. While the body physically sleeps, the mind remains aware in a state of consciousness known as Yoga Nidra. Within this state, ultimate rejuvenation resides with the invitation to connect to the world within and to expand awareness. Practicing Yoga Nidra offers many benefits including stress reduction, balancing the nervous system, improvement of bodily functions, pain management, improved well-being and mood, among others.
Completed entirely lying down or in a reclined position with the aid of blankets and props to comfort and support the body, this practice is accessible for all individuals.
