Yoga Nidra is a state of awareness that is deeply relaxing, encourages well-being, and offers relief from stress and tension. It is practiced through a series of techniques that have been developed to help one achieve this state more easily, such as breathing exercises, guided relaxation, and meditations.

It is a type of yoga practice that can be done lying down, or seated in a comfortable chair, and it requires little movement and no special tools (except for props to help you sit or lie more comfortably.)

Yoga Nidra is adaptogenic, meaning that it finds a way to help you just the way you need, and it is enhanced by the use of a sankalpa (personal resolve) that you create to help you live your life in a more meaningful way.

Benefits can include

• improved sleep,

• reduction of stress & pain, and

• increased immunity.

Every practice is worthwhile and, in every practice, we gain something!
