Yoga Nidra is the equivalent of lucid sleep. It is a traditional technique of deep relaxation, allowing the different “bodies” or Koshas to relax. The benefits are felt on the physical, energetic and emotional bodies.
Through the use of mind-body rotation exercises, breathing and visualization techniques, a state of deep relaxation is induced.
Yoga Nidra re-educates sleep and represents a bridge to awakening. The practice is done in a lying down position, and allows for conscious access to the unconscious so we can install a personal resolution, a “sankalpa” helping to move closer to personal aspirations. By widening consciousness and developing latent potential, Yoga Nidra helps cultivate areas of the brain that are dormant.
