What is Yoga Nidra?
Yoga Nidra (or the Yoga of Sleep, but more aptly translated to “To Draw Forth From the Void”) is an ancient, powerful practice of deep relaxation of the body, mind, and spirit. Practitioners are guided into profound and transformational rest, where they can safely and lovingly release physical, mental, and emotional tensions, allowing them to release old patterning and Re-Member their truest selves. A gentle yin practice, this is perhaps one of the most inclusive and accessible forms of Yoga: all you have to do is lie down, and enjoy the ride.
With incredible science confirming the physiological power of Nidra, and old Yogic wisdom to help understand the philosophical and spiritual potential, Yoga Nidra is a nourishing practice for everyone, leaving us feeling whole, embodied, rejuvenated, and inspired.
