We are in the most modern times where all of us live in the reactive world and often struggle to relax and just let go as if there is stress and burden to even drop things.

We all carry trauma, unresolved emotions, pain, and honestly, it’s really alright!

The whole purpose is to be able to release it.

This gentle step-by-step practice of Yoga Nidra allows us to release all of this without even reliving it all over again.

Yoga Nidra is an age-old practice of Yoga described in ancient texts.

It is a sleep-based meditation where you learn to relax as deeply as in sleep while being awake.

Like Swami Satyananda describes it, ‘going to sleep state’. This is the state where we are most aware at the same time highly relaxed.

Yoga Nidra helps us to experience the same state without falling asleep. Since sleep is natural to us, this practice proves to be more efficient than other seated practices with a certain technique or system to follow.

Yoga Nidra is all about ‘undoing, unlearning’, letting go of any goal or even the idea of ‘being spiritual.

It works by taking you to brainwave states similar to those in sleep where you go completely disengaged from your thoughts and emotions, allowing you to access deeper layers of the mind.

For people who have difficulty in practicing seated practices, Yoga Nidra is the most accessible for them.

This practice is amazing because it helps you experience the deepest states of consciousness that otherwise are challenging to achieve in seated practices.

The most beautiful part of Yoga Nidra is that this practice brings changes in your waking state and relaxation in a way becomes your default state!!
