Yoga Nidra (Mat-Based)
A deeply restorative practice done entirely on your mat, where you
lie in a supported, comfortable position while being guided through
a Yoga Nidra meditation. Often called “yogic sleep,” it brings you into a state
between wakefulness and dreaming, allowing profound rest and inner
healing.
How It Works
You settle into a cozy, grounded position such as:
-
Savasana
-
Supported recline with bolsters
-
Side-lying rest (for extra comfort)
Then you’re guided through:
-
Gentle breath awareness
-
A full-body scan
-
Visualization
-
Intention setting (Sankalpa)
-
Deep relaxation techniques
Your body fully relaxes while your mind stays softly aware.
