Description
Yoga Nidra is a sleep-based meditation practice that promotes deep states of relaxation while maintaining awareness. The student rests comfortably in savasana (laying down) using props and blankets as the instructor uses guided meditation techniques. The class is beginner friendly and can help individuals with releasing emotional tension, allowing one's muscles to relax, and acts to calm the nervous system. One 45 minute Yoga Nidra session can be equivalent to 3-4 hours of restful sleep. Studies have shown a regular Yoga Nidra practice can help with depression, anxiety, insomnia, chronic pain, headaches, PTSD and can reduce symptoms of diabetes.
