Workshop on Yoga Nidra (Yogic Sleep) - योग निद्रा
- Yoga of Sleep: Experience healing nights
Yoga Nidra, is a powerful technique in which you learn to relax consciously. For absolute relaxation, you must remain aware.
This is yoga nidra – the state of dynamic sleep.
During the practice of yoga nidra the consciousness is functioning at a deeper level of awareness. The state of relaxation is reached by turning inwards, away from outer experiences.
Yoga Nidra is the yoga of aware sleep.
In this lies the secret of self healing. Yoga Nidra is a pratyahara (detachment) technique in which the distractions of the mind is contained and the mind is relaxed.

Learn and experience a profound deep relaxation practice called yoga Nidra which will focus on breath awareness, intention setting, visualization, and deep relaxation. Yoga Nidra is translated as “Yogic Sleep” and originated in India.
It induces a state of relaxed awareness in which the practitioner moves through the five koshas, or layers in the body. We’ll begin with 30-45 minutes of gentle asana to prepare our bodies for relaxation and yoga nidra.
During the Nidra practice, you will be fully supported in a reclined position with bolsters and blankets, as you are guided to a state of deep relaxation.

Most people sleep without resolving their tensions. This is termed Nidra.
Nidra means sleep, no matter what or why.
But Yoga Nidra means sleep after throwing off the burdens.
It is of a blissful, higher quality altogether.
When awareness is separate and distinct from the vrittis,
When waking, dream, and deep sleep pass like clouds,
Yet awareness of atma remains,
This is the experience of total relaxation.
Relaxation does not mean sleep.
Relaxation means to be blissfully happy,
It has no end.
I call bliss absolute relaxation; sleep is a different matter.Sleep gives only mind and sense relaxation.
Bliss relaxes the Atma, the inner self;
That is why, in tantra,
Yoga Nidra is the doorway to Samadhi.

Benefits of Yoga Nidra
Reduce Your Stress
Bring Joy Into Your Life
Connect with Yourself
Reduce Your Stress
- Suffering from hypertension, hypothyroidism, or poor sleep? Deep relaxation exercises are known to reduce blood pressure, reduce stress, and improve sleep.
- They can also stimulate thyroid function, reduce the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome and adrenal insufficiency (although there is a lack of scientific evidence to back this up) and aid in the recovery of muscle fatigue and repair.
Bring Joy Into Your Life
- The practice of yoga nidra has some pretty powerful psychological benefits as well. It can assist in healing psychological wounds and assists those dealing with depression and dependency.
- It brings a profound sense of joy and well-being to the practitioner.
Connect with Yourself
- Taking this one step further, yoga nidra is also a way to connect with your deeper, spiritual self. It restores the body, senses, and mind to their natural function and awakens a subconscious awareness that allows you to feel no separation. Oneness, wholeness, tranquility, and well-being are experienced on a Universal level.
- This beautiful sensation comes to those who are available to receive it; an all-encompassing unconditional love for self and the Universal self, which are understood to be the same thing.
