YOGA NIDRA

ANCIENT WISDOM FOR MODERN MINDS

Yoga Nidra is a conscious relaxation practice, supporting you on a journey to awaken your true self. It literally means 'Yogic Sleep', where your senses, intellect, and mind relax. This causes brain activity to decrease, and the body to go into a 'recovery' state. 1 hour of Yoga Nidra equals 4 hours of deep sleep. In this healing state, you give your body the chance to clear up the toxins, and release emotional blockages from the subconscious.

Yoga Nidra, a part of a wider ‘Yogic philosophy’ (consisting also of asanas, pranayama & mantras,…) is ancient in traditions such as Hinduism and Buddhism, meaning it is thousands of years old. The modern technique was developed by Swami Satyananda around 1950, and since then it has been widely adopted in the West. Many scientific studies link Yoga Nidra with health benefits, such as the effect of Yoga Nidra on stress release, self-esteem, pain management, insomnia, and menstrual disorders.
