Yoga Nidra

Imagine a meditative practice that doesn’t demand stillness from the outset, but rather leads you into it so gently that you hardly notice

Imagine resting for less than an hour in a state that’s as healing for your mind and body as three hours of actual sleep

Imagine your body being as relaxed as it is during your deepest sleep, but your mind being aware + awake enough to integrate a goal or intention into the deepest layers of your subconscious

Imagine this integration’s potential to heal trauma, release unprocessed experiences + emotions, support recovery work, and reduce depression + anxiety

This is yoga nidra, the ancient practice of non-doing

Perhaps the least-known of the yogic practices, and sometimes called “the yoga of sleep,” yoga nidra allows even first-time practicers to reach the liminal space of relaxed-yet-aware where brain waves shift and consciousness expands
