What is Yoga Nidra?
“Yoga Nidra is a systematic method of inducing a complete physical, mental and emotional relaxation while witnessing it.”
In Sanskrit Yoga Nidra means “Yogic Sleep” or “Psychic Sleep”
Yoga Nidra is derived from tantra yoga and is a technique in which you learn to relax consciously.
What really is relaxation? You may be thinking, “I relax all the time… I watch TV, I go for walks, I read a good book, etc.” But are you truly, fully relaxing in these moments? In the practice of Yoga Nidra, even sleep is not considered a form of relaxation.
This practice encourages you to find complete relaxation while also remaining aware. When we practice yoga nidra we are inducing complete physical, mental, and emotional relaxation.
While practicing yoga nidra, you’re encouraged to lie flat on your back. Use any props that support rest, wear warm clothing, and have a blanket to maintain a comfortable state of relaxation. As you lie in the position of savasana, you will reach a state of relaxation by turning inwards. You’ll be guided through a rotation of consciousness and rapid imaging prompts. The idea is to remain aware, not allowing yourself to concentrate on one point or image for an extended period.
1 hour of yoga nidra is equivalent to 4 hours of sleep.
