Yoga Nidra, also known as “yogic sleep,” is a deeply relaxing guided meditation that takes you into the space between waking and sleeping — a state where your body rests deeply, but your mind remains aware.

Not exactly. While both calm the mind, meditation usually keeps you alert in a seated position. Yoga Nidra is done lying down and moves you into a state of conscious sleep — balancing relaxation and awareness. Backed my Neuroscience.

Not at all. Yoga Nidra is for everyone — no yoga postures or flexibility needed.

You lie down comfortably while being guided through breath awareness, body scanning, visualization, and intention setting (Sankalpa). Your nervous system gently shifts into deep rest and restoration.

Wear cozy clothing, bring a blanket, pillow, or eye mask — anything that helps you feel safe and supported.

Even once a week can reduce stress, improve sleep, and balance emotions. Daily practice deepens the effects.
