Yoga Nidra is a form of meditation where the practitioner is lying down and being guided through a specific series of exercises like body awareness, breath counting, visualisation & more. 

Yoga nidra, or yogic sleep as it is commonly known, is an immensely powerful meditation technique, and one of the easiest yoga practices to develop and maintain. While the practitioner rests comfortably in savasana (corpse pose), this systematic meditation takes you through the pancha maya kosha (five layers of self), leaving you with a sense of wholeness. No longer do you have to dread spending hours sitting on the floor waiting for liberation.

Some of the many benefits of Yoga Nidra:

• Yoga nidra counteracts stress and is prescribed by GPs in many countries.
• Provides effective relief for depression and long standing anxiety.
• It is an efficient way to obtain a deep sleep and regular sleeping patterns.
• Clears the mind for learning and absorbing new material.
• Releases tension in the body and mind.
• Relaxes the mind.
• Helps with creativity.

"Yoga Nidra is a systematic method of inducing complete physical, mental and emotional relaxation. This state of relaxation is reached by turning inwards, away from experiences. If the consciousness can be separated from external awareness and from sleep, it becomes very powerful and can be applied in many ways, for example: to develop the memory, increase knowledge and creativity, or transform one's nature.

Yoga Nidra is a powerful technique in which you learn to relax consciously. In Yoga Nidra, sleep is not regarded as relaxation. People feel that they are relaxing when they collapse in a chair with a cup of coffee, a drink or a cigarette, and read a newspaper or switch on the television. But this will never suffice as a scientific definition of relaxation, these are only sensory diversions. True relaxation is actually an experience far beyond all of this: for absolute relaxation you must remain aware. This is Yoga Nidra: the state of dynamic sleep.
