About Yoga Nidra

Yoga Nidra is a guided rest practice. With roots in yogic philosophy, modern Yoga Nidra practices offer an experience of relaxation and depth.

Nidra is a gentle way to encounter your deepest self, with no yoga experience–and no complicated postures–required.

Yoga Nidra has been researched for its benefits for insomnia, PTSD, and anxiety.
