What is Yoga Nidra? Benefits and Techniques of Yogic Sleep
Yoga Nidra, also known as yogic sleep, is a guided meditation practice where you lie down comfortably and enter a state between sleep and wakefulness. Unlike normal sleep, it keeps the mind aware while the body relaxes deeply.
Benefits of Yoga Nidra
Practicing Yoga Nidra regularly can:
- Reduce stress and anxiety
- Improve sleep quality
- Boost focus and mental clarity
- Relieve tension and fatigue
Even 30 minutes of Yoga Nidra can feel as refreshing as 2 hours of deep sleep.
How to Practice (Simple Steps)
Follow these easy steps to begin:
- Lie down in Shavasana (corpse pose).
- Close your eyes and relax your body.
- Follow a guided voice for body scan and breath awareness.
- Visualize peaceful images and repeat a positive intention (Sankalpa).
Yoga Nidra is beginner-friendly and can be practiced anytime—morning for energy, evening for relaxation.
If you feel stressed or struggle with sleep, try Yoga Nidra for a calmer, healthier mind and body.
