Yoga Nidra

Yoga Nidra is a powerful technique in which one learns to relax consciously. It is performed in Savasana, and there is no movement at all. It is a systematic method of inducing complete physical, mental, and emotional relaxation. During the practice of Yoga Nidra, one appears to be asleep, but the consciousness is functioning at a deeper level of awareness. For this reason, Yoga Nidra is often referred to as psychic sleep or deep relaxation with inner awareness.

In Yoga Nidra, the state of relaxation is reached by turning inwards, away from outer experiences. If the consciousness can be separated from external awareness and from sleep, it becomes very powerful and can be applied in many ways. For example: to develop one's memory, increase knowledge and creativity or transform one's nature.

Yoga Nidra leaves one feeling calm, lucid and full of awareness after a session.
