Yoga Nidra - Bliss For Your Brain.

I Release. I Relax. I Let Go.

When it comes to anxiety and stress, yoga nidra really can be magical. I have personally experienced radical changes in my life from this practice.  

Anxiety can hit you suddenly under stressful situations, or it can be chronic and constant in your life... maybe from being unhappy at work... whether short or long term, anxiety feels awful. You lose your focus and your hormones & central nervous system kick into overdrive. Well, this is where the magic of yoga nidra comes in.

When you are looking for a way to help you overcome stress and anxiety, yoga nidra will let you simply “sleep” for 45 minutes. Yoga nidra is known as yogic sleep, a form of guided meditation that seeks to create a state of consciousness somewhere between waking and sleeping. Unlike other forms of yoga, nidra does not involve physical movement or poses, but instead, relies on deep breathing to calm the mind and relax the body. This is where you can achieve the deepest state of relaxation that’s ever possible.

By relaxing your mind and body, yoga nidra can help with issues such as stress, anxiety and even depression. The Indian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology, as cited in the  Huffington Post, found that “Yoga nidra improved blood pressure, heart rate variables, and hormone irregularities in women.” Truthfully, all of us can benefit from yoga nidra.
