At Adi Yoga, we know how much deep rest is crucial for you. It is the greatest need of your life, so we provide Yoga Nidra, an old practice that helps guide one into a profoundly relaxing state of mind. What is Yoga Nidra and how does it facilitate deep rest in oneself?

Yoga Nidra is also referred to as “yogic sleep.” Unlike ordinary sleep, in this technique, while the body rests very profoundly, the mind is actively awake. So, at one level, it’s a form of rest you never get from sleep.

How is Yoga Nidra Conducted?

The exercise will be preceded by a few minutes of conscious breathing to help you feel more relaxed. As your body has just had its stress released, the facilitator will lead you through a series of visualizations, body scans and affirmations so that you can remove all the tightness in every part of your body.

The beauty of Yoga Nidra is that one is already in a conscious awareness state and observing thoughts and feelings without attachment. This helps free one from the constant chatter of the mind and allows one to tap into the deeper layers of consciousness. You’ll be encouraged to remain fully relaxed yet awake throughout the session, balancing between sleep and wakefulness.

How do you get deep rest through yoga Nidra?

That must be a question on your mind: “How does it result in deep rest if I’m not sleeping?” It is the magic of Yoga Nidra. While your body rests easily, your mind remains conscious, thus a state of relaxation further than actual sleep. Studies suggest that Yoga Nidra is known to decrease stress and calm the nervous system. According to doctors, patients even found improvement in the quality of their sleep during extensive treatment courses.

By practicing Yoga Nidra, you tap into the natural healing potential of your body and freshen and rejuvenate it. Deep relaxation decreases cortisol levels and flips on the parasympathetic nervous system, which is associated with rest and recovery. This allows the body to reinstall a balance. therefore, it is refreshed, recharged and ready to go back out into the world.
