<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">What is Yoga Nidra?</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Yoga Nidra, often referred to as “Yogic Sleep,” is the conscious awareness of the deep sleep state. It is an ancient Tantric technique made popular in the West by Swami Satyananda. This simple, yet powerful tool moves you to a state of deep relaxation and has the potential to take you beyond the three normal states of consciousness (waking, dreaming, and dreamless sleep states), to the 4</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">th</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> state of consciousness (Turiya). </span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Benefits of Yoga Nidra</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There are a multitude of physical benefits from practicing Yoga Nidra, including reduced stress, fatigue, anxiety, and worry; a better nights sleep; improved digestion; and increased immune function. Spiritually, Yoga Nidra gives you access to that space between thoughts, beyond mind. In this space we reset the body, expand the mind, and see things from a different vantage point. This allows for the burning or neutralization of Samskaras (deep impressions), the true goal of Yoga Nidra. This is the promise and power of Yoga Nidra.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Who should practice Yoga Nidra? </span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Yoga Nidra is multi-layered in its benefits; as we move through the different layers of our being, through the different Koshas or subtle bodies that overlay our essence, we gain deeper levels of mastery over our lives. This technique has been known to help patients with PTSD, terminal illnesses, mental disorders and other imbalances, physically, emotionally, and mentally. This practice is for everyone, whether you consider yourself healthy or not. Everyone can benefit in some way from the practice of Yoga Nidra.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This practice is a great addition to your yoga class. </span></p>
