Yoga Nidra is a form of guided meditation also known as “yogic sleep” or “effortless relaxation.” Yoga Nidra involves no physical movement. The practitioner is lying down, (on a yoga mat on the floor, on a bed, or even in a recliner), with a teacher guiding the 35-to-40-minute session. The participant should be relatively assured of no distractions or interruptions and should refrain from eating just prior to the session. The practice draws our attention inwards and may lead to a transformational experience of inner calm. Yoga Nidra is not recommended for people with some psychiatric conditions; please consult your health care provider about whether Yoga Nidra is right for you.
