What is Yoga Nidra or Yogic Sleep?

Yoga Nidra is the practice of entering a state of deep, dreamless sleep while remaining aware of oneself and the experience.  The traditional preparations and practices toward the state of Yoga Nidra involve deep relaxation that promotes physical, emotional, and mental relaxation, healing, and rejuvenation. The practice initially involves lying down in a comfortable position while a trained teacher guides you through a series of verbal instructions, aimed at achieving deep relaxation, and self-awareness.

Yoga Nidra is one of the practices of pratyahara where awareness is internalized. Literally, yoga nidra means ‘yoga sleep’ i.e. sleep with full awareness. In the practice of yoga nidra, the body sleeps but the mind remains awake listening to the instructions. In psychology, the state achieved in the preparatory practices of yoga nidra is termed the hypnogogic state, a state between sleep and wakefulness.

Benefits of Yoga Nidra:

• Reduce stress and anxiety
• Improve sleep quality

Feedback from a Student-

I have just completed my Yoga Nidra Teacher Training with Vani & John. This was such an incredible experience. Both gave so much throughout our time together. They are 100% with you on your learning journey, making sure you understand and grasp the concepts. The information was made easy to digest and different methods used to understand it. They are both very knowledgeable and giving with their knowledge too, nothing is held back. I feel empowered to teach and share this incredible experience with other people now. Thank you so much for being my teachers! I highly recommend Yoga Spirit Studios to continue your learning journey. - Amy H
