Yoga Nidra – Meditation

Yoga Nidra is designed to introduce participants to the ancient practice of yogic sleep or conscious relaxation. The purpose of this session is to guide individuals through a deep and systematic meditation technique that induces a state of profound relaxation while maintaining awareness.

Purpose:

1. Stress Reduction: The primary purpose of a Yoga Nidra is to help participants alleviate stress and anxiety. The guided meditation techniques employed in Yoga Nidra promote relaxation at a physical, mental, and emotional level, allowing individuals to release accumulated tension.
2. Restorative Sleep: The practice of Yoga Nidra is known for its ability to provide restorative benefits equivalent to a few hours of deep sleep. Participants learn to enter a state of conscious relaxation that mimics the restorative qualities of sleep, promoting overall well-being.
3. Mind-Body Connection: The 1.5 hour session aims to deepen the connection between mind and body. Through guided awareness, participants learn to explore and understand the subtle sensations and energy flow within their bodies, fostering a greater sense of self-awareness.
4. Enhanced Creativity and Clarity: Yoga Nidra is believed to enhance creativity and mental clarity. By quieting the mind and accessing deeper states of consciousness, individuals may experience improved focus, creativity, and problem-solving abilities as well as manifestation capabilities.
