Yoga Nidra is a guided meditation technique that induces deep relaxation in the body and mind. It is also known as “yogic sleep” as it can bring a state of consciousness that is between being awake and asleep. The practice involves lying down comfortably while a trained instructor guides you through a series of visualizations, body scans, and breathing exercises. It is said that 1 hour of Yoga Nidra is equivalent to 3-4 hours of regular sleep.

Yoga Nidra has numerous benefits for both physical and mental health. It can help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, improve sleep quality, boost the immune system, and reduce chronic pain. It can also increase creativity, focus, and concentration, and promote a sense of inner peace and wellbeing.
