yoga-nidra

Yoga nidra, often called "yogic sleep," is one of the most quietly transformative practices in the entire yoga world. Unlike the dynamic movement of a vinyasa flow or the precise alignment work of iyengar yoga, yoga nidra invites practitioners to lie completely still and travel inward through a guided meditation that leads the body to the threshold between waking and sleep. Those who discover it tend to become devoted almost immediately, marveling at how something so effortless can feel so profoundly restorative. A single session is said to deliver the equivalent of several hours of deep sleep, and many practitioners report emerging from a session feeling as though they have been gently reassembled from the inside out.
