What is Yoga Nidra?
Yoga Nidra is a deeply restorative guided meditation practice with its origins in the ancient yogic traditions of South Asia. Often referred to as "yogic sleep," it is a systematic and sacred journey that fosters profound physical, mental, and emotional relaxation. Rooted in the teachings of South Asian sages and the philosophy of yoga, Yoga Nidra offers a pathway to conscious rest, allowing practitioners to connect with the deeper layers of the mind and access the transformative potential of the subconscious. The practice as we know it today has been lovingly preserved and shared by modern teachers and visionaries, who have carried forward this gift of healing and self-discovery from its South Asian origins to the world.This deeply restorative practice offers profound relaxation and access to the deeper layers of the mind. Honouring its origins, the practice invites you to explore conscious rest in a way that feels right for you. Whether lying down or sitting upright, eyes closed or gently open with a soft gaze, every aspect of Yoga Nidra is an invitation, not an obligation.As taught through the Daring to Rest method by Karen Brody, this trauma-informed approach emphasises safety, choice, and inclusivity, making it accessible to people of all ages and physical abilities. Yoga Nidra can be a powerful tool for stress reduction, improving sleep, and fostering personal growth and self-awareness. With regular practice, it has the potential to reduce anxiety, enhance concentration, and cultivate a deep sense of inner peace and well-being.
