What is Yoga Nidra?

Yoga Nidra is a systematic method of achieving total muscular, mental and emotional relaxation via a guided meditation practice. Practicing Yoga Nidra regularly, over time, yields both physical and psychological benefits.

While in a state between wakefulness and sleep, Yoga Nidra helps you become your best self by releasing tensions of the body and the conscious, subconscious and unconscious mind. The practice incorporates muscular relaxation, breathing and guided imagery to achieve a state of total physical relaxation while maintaining mental alertness. You will emerge from Yoga Nidra refreshed and able to return to work without feeling groggy.

Yoga Nidra comes from ancient teachings. It was updated for modern life by the Bihar School of Yoga in India and refined for more than 70 years to create today’s highly effective meditation practice. This Yoga Nidra is distinct from more recent practices also called yoga nidra (many of which are derived from the Bihar method), and is distinguished by its structure and therapeutic applications.

Yoga Nidra is not transcendental meditation, hypnosis, mindfulness meditation, guided imagery meditation, or anything else. It is Yoga Nidra.

What are the benefits?

Yoga Nidra Is Good For People

People find that the regular practice of Yoga Nidra improves mental tranquility and increases their ability to cope with stress. They report clearer thinking, better concentration, increased ability to process information objectively, and improved memory.

Many find the practice helps them release negative emotional and mental patterns, and gives them an increased understanding and acceptance of themselves.

A basic Yoga Nidra practice contributes to improved physical health by improving sleep, normalizing blood pressure, reducing muscular tension, and decreasing pain. Additionally, there are specific Yoga Nidra practices to support or relieve various health conditions like depression, insomnia, anxiety, and autoimmune disorders. Yoga Nidra can also be used to help manage specific aspects of cancer.

Yoga Nidra Is Good For Business

Productivity declines and absenteeism increases when employees experience stress, fatigue and low morale. Some companies have introduced wellness programs to help them address these issues, reduce healthcare costs and improve employee satisfaction. 

Yoga Nidra classes can be a complementary component to an existing wellness program, or an effective stand-alone offering. By contributing to employee well being, Yoga Nidra yields equally positive benefits for business.

People leave Yoga Nidra class feeling refreshed, calm and centered — better able to face the demands of their workday.

How do I practice Yoga Nidra?

Everyone can do Yoga Nidra. It requires no special ability, special clothes or special anything else. It can be practiced anywhere.

Yoga Nidra typically is practiced in a quiet environment lying flat on your back on the floor, as that position enables the greatest degree of relaxation. Comfort is essential for a successful Yoga Nidra practice, so props may be used to make yourself completely comfortable. You also can do the practice sitting up in a chair, or with your head down on a desk or table. Your teacher will help you position yourself for maximum comfort.

A skilled teacher provides verbal instructions to lead the class through a practice ranging from four to eight stages and lasting roughly 20 to 30 minutes.
