Yoga nidra, often referred to as yogic sleep, is a powerful meditation and relaxation technique that induces a state of deep relaxation. Originating from ancient yogic practices, yoga nidra is designed to bring about profound physical, mental, and emotional relaxation by guiding practitioners into a state of conscious sleep.

During a yoga nidra session, you lie down comfortably in savasana (corpse pose) while I’ll lead you through a systematic meditation practice. The practice typically involves a series of guided instructions that focus on various aspects of relaxation, such as deep breathing, body scanning, visualization, and intention setting.

The aim of yoga nidra is to induce a state of deep relaxation where the body is completely relaxed, yet the mind remains aware. This state is often described as a state of "effortless awareness" or "conscious relaxation". While in this state, the brain shifts into the theta brainwave state, which is associated with deep relaxation, creativity, and insight.
