About Yoga Nidra:
Yoga Nidra or “yogic sleep” is a guided meditation practice that is easy and accessible for even the busiest of people. In this practice, the student is systematically guided through each layer of being including the physical, energetic, mental, and emotional layers, making this practice a comprehensive recharge. Often considered the most accessible form of meditation, it can be practiced at any point during the day and there is no way to practice incorrectly. Yoga Nidra induces the relaxation response or the parasympathetic nervous system, so that even a few minutes of this practice solicit healing in the body. It has been touted that just 20 minutes of this practice can feel like a 4-hour nap. Research conducted at well-respected universities and medical centers (including Stanford, Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Ohio State University, and others) show that regular Yoga Nidra practice offers a viable means of prevention and reversal of many diseases and ailments including stress, chronic pain, insomnia, anxiety, cardiovascular issues, high blood pressure, digestive conditions, among others. As this meditation is completely guided it’s an excellent antidote to those who may feel scattered or stressed and provides a real dose of much-needed nourishment in our modern lives.
