Yoga Nidra, often called “yogic sleep,” is a guided meditation technique that aims to induce a state of deep relaxation while maintaining conscious awareness.
The practice involves lying down and being guided through mental imagery, body scans, and breath awareness to promote physical, mental, and emotional rest.
Essentially, this practice aims to bring the body and mind to a state of deep relaxation similar to sleep, but with the practitioner remaining conscious.
Class opens with brief history of Yoga Nidra and its benefits followed by a gentle spinal and joint warm-up.
Benefits of Yoga Nidra practice:
* stress and anxiety reduction
* improved sleep quality
* enhanced focus and cognitive function
* increased self-awareness
* pain management
Other Potential Benefits: Research also suggests that Yoga Nidra may help lower blood pressure, improve heart rate variability, enhance immune function, and promote more positive thought patterns.
