Yoga Nidra
“The truth speaks a gentle whisper. This is why meditation and Yoga Nidra can be so profound, because perhaps if we get still enough, we can hear that whisper”
Yoga Nidra, known as "yogic sleep," effortless relaxation, is a deep relaxation technique that guides you into a state of consciousness between wakefulness and sleep. It involves lying down in a comfortable position, while mentally following verbal instructions that lead you through stages of relaxation, bringing awareness to your dreams or intentions, body awareness, breath awareness, energy & visualizations.
Unlike traditional meditation, where you might remain seated and alert, Yoga Nidra allows your body to rest deeply while maintaining a sense of awareness.
