Deep Relaxation for Body and Mind

Yoga Nidra

Yoga Nidra, often called "yogic sleep," is a powerful guided meditation technique that promotes deep relaxation and rejuvenation.

Unlike traditional sleep, Yoga Nidra maintains a state of conscious awareness while the body and mind sink into profound rest.

This unique state allows for significant benefits for both physical and mental well-being.

What is Yoga Nidra?

Yoga Nidra is a systematic method of inducing a state of deep relaxation that lies between wakefulness and sleep. It's not sleep itself, but a state of conscious rest where the body is completely relaxed, and the mind is calm yet aware.

Guided by an instructor's voice, practitioners are led through a series of techniques designed to systematically relax the body and quiet the mind.
This process allows access to the subconscious mind, fostering healing and transformation.

How Does it Work

Progressive Relaxation:
The practice systematically guides you to relax different parts of your body, releasing tension from head to toe.

Breath Awareness:
Gentle attention is paid to the natural rhythm of your breath, anchoring you in the present moment.

Visualization:
Guided imagery is used to calm the mind and create a sense of peace and tranquility.

Rotation of Consciousness:
This unique technique systematically shifts your awareness through different parts of your body and mind, promoting a state of deep relaxation.

Sankalpa (Intention):
You set a positive intention or affirmation, allowing your subconscious mind to work on it during the practice. This can be a powerful tool for personal growth and positive change.
