Yoga Nidra or "Yogic sleep" is a form of guided meditation which accesses deep relaxation in body and mind while maintaining awareness. It is practiced lying down in the resting posture of Savasana or "Corpse Pose". It is scientifically proven to induce a range of brainwave states which are related to mental and physical well-being. No prior experience is necessary. This practice is accessible and beneficial for all.
