DESCRIPTION: Yoga Nidra is a form of guided meditation and deep relaxation that is often referred to as "yogic sleep." It is a practice that allows individuals to reach a state of profound relaxation while maintaining full consciousness. During a Yoga Nidra session, participants are guided through a systematic process of relaxation, body awareness, and breath awareness.
During a Yoga Nidra session, participants often find themselves in a liminal space, neither fully awake nor asleep
The practice involves a transition from the active, everyday state of consciousness to a deeper, more receptive state. This liminal phase allows individuals to access their inner world and explore their subconscious mind.

Nidra, more recently referred to by Western Scientists as Non-Sleep Deep Rest; can yield benefits such as:
Stress Reduction
