Yoga Nidra in Sanskrit translates to yogic sleep. The definition of Yoga Nidra varies across traditional yogic and Vedic texts written over thousands of years ago. It has been defined as both a state of the body as well as a meditative practice to alter the state of consciousness. Yoga nidra, as a powerful relaxation and manifestation technique, has been practiced in varied forms over thousands of years by yogis. Yoga nidra as practiced in most modern studios today is a deep relaxation technique where practitioners are systematically guided into entering a state between wakefulness and sleep. One of the great things about yoga nidra is it is easily accessible to anyone – no prior meditation or yoga experience is required. A typical yoga nidra session can last between 30-60 mins. Practitioners start in Savasana (lying on their backs) making themselves comfortable using as many props as needed – they may use pillows, bolsters and blankets. A teacher will then guide them into deep relaxation through verbal cues. Throughout, the practitioners are constantly reminded to stay awake and resist the urge to fall asleep.
