Yoga Nidra
Yogic Sleep
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.
