WHAT IS YOGA NIDRA?
Yoga Nidra, is often known as 'Yogic Sleep' it is a meditation and conscious relaxation practice that is intended to induce total physical, mental and emotional relaxation. It goes far beyond deep relaxation to a place of natural peace and quiet that is tremendously healing.
An hour of Yoga Nidra can be as restorative as four hours of regular sleep, how amazing is that!
There are several stages of Yoga Nidra:
Stage 1: Bringing relaxation, a calm mind while the body feels heavy and deeply relaxed.
Stage 2: Brings an inner stillness as relaxation progresses further.
Stage 3: Slowly brings that interval between being awake and asleep, remaining alert and aware with a spacious, timeless feeling that is extremely peaceful while your mind and body sleep.
