Yoga Nidra

Yoga  Nidra (sometimes called yogic sleep) is a very old form of yoga that  allows one to achieve a state “being” between waking and sleeping,  somewhat like the place that feels like "going-to-sleep”. In this state  the body is completely relaxed and by following verbal guidance you will  become increasingly aware of your inner world, your “body mind”.

When  practicing Yoga Nidra you remain in a state of light “withdrawn  awareness” as the sense of hearing stays connected and responsive to the  instructions.

Yoga Nidra is among the deepest possible states of  relaxation while still maintaining full consciousness. The practice is  easy to do, with the only possible negative outcome being falling to  sleep!

The  practice of Yoga Nidra has been found to reduce tension and anxiety,  including headache, feelings of ‘ungroundedness’, tremulousness,  sweating and abdominal discomforts, to name just a few. At the root of  all healing is our core relationship with self. Practicing Yoga Nidra  deepens and strengthens this relationship and increases our self awareness on all levels.
