Yoga Nidra

Yoga Nidra takes us effortlessly into a state of harmonious, restful being. From here, we can be healed, restored and awakened to our deepest, all-knowing, all-welcoming self. It’s a sublime practice, gaining popularity the world over, and ongoing research continues to prove its effectiveness.

The practice draws our attention inwards, and we learn to surf between the states of wakefulness and sleep, where our body finds its natural state of equilibrium (homeostasis) – the breath balances and becomes quiet, unconscious and conscious aspects of the mind reveal themselves, and we fall into an innate state of deep, blissful awareness.

Benefits of Yoga Nidra:

It’s said that 45 minutes of Yoga Nidra is as restorative as 3 hours of sleep. What does this mean? By receiving the proper rest, we enhance functioning of the immune and metabolic systems. In turn, this improves our overall physical health and leads to higher energy, fewer colds and infections. Rest also improves mental health, insomnia, anxiety, stress and depression.

Who can do Yoga Nidra?

Intense vinyasa flows and long asana holds are not for everyone. Yoga Nidra, however, is a practice that everyone, from children to seniors, can do. It’s easy to follow at any age. All that your body needs to do is lie down on the floor. (If it’s challenging to lie on the floor, you can still do this practice seated, or lying down supported by various props).

Yoga Nidra is available privately or in group classes or workshops.
