Yoga Nidra

Yogic Sleep

Deep relaxation

How to

Lying down, a guided rotation of attention moves through each part of the body in sequence, followed by awareness of breath and a brief held intention, while the body rests at the edge of sleep without actually falling asleep.

Benefits

  • Deep physical and mental rest with minimal active effort
  • Lowers stress without requiring sustained focus
  • Accessible on days when seated meditation feels too effortful

Practice

20-40 minutes lying flat, ideally without interruption — falling asleep partway through is common and not a failure.
