Yoga Nidra

Yoga Nidra—known as yogic sleep—is a meditation and conscious relaxation practice that is intended to induce total physical, mental, and emotional relaxation. I’ve heard that an hour of yoga nidra can be as restorative as four hours of regular sleep.
Aside from being relaxing, restorative and restful, studies have shown that yoga nidra can also:

• Ease insomnia
• Decrease anxiety
• Alleviate stress
• Heighten awareness and focus
• Transform negative habits, behaviors and ways of thinking
• Foster feelings of peace, calm, and clarity
