What is Yoga Nidra?
​Yoga nidra is a guided relaxation technique that deeply impacts the body, mind, and emotions. Practiced lying in Savasana, you are led through stages of relaxation, shifting your focus inward to breath, sensations, and thoughts. This guides you into the hypnagogic state—the transition between wakefulness and sleep—where the mind becomes deeply relaxed and highly receptive. Yoga nidra can relieve physical tension, reduce stress, boost creativity, improve memory, support healing from past traumas, release mental patterns (samskaras), and help you connect with your true self.
