About YOGA NIDRA

 

The practices of Yoga Nidra last for around 15 minutes. Be assured of undisturbed peace for this period of time. It can be done sitting, but it is most effectively practiced lying down.

Use some support under your thighs if that’s more comfortable on your lower back, choose a pillow to encourage the natural curve of your neck and cover yourself with a blanket to avoid getting cold. Do anything it needs to make your body feel utterly comfortable and cared for!

 

Yoga Nidra is a practice of complete physical, mental and emotional relaxation. We enter a state of consciousness which is neither sleep nor wakefulness, neither concentration nor hypnotism. It is an altered state of consciousness where we lose all sense of time, balancing on an edge: a state of awakened, conscious sleep.

In Yoga Nidra we work with sankalpas, which are positive resolves, intentions or affirmations we plant in our mind like a seed.
