Yoga nidra can be thought of as a relaxation exercise without movement. You develop awareness of your muscular and joint system and subtle body. Your body and mind are deeply relaxed at the end of the practice, and best of all you are brought into a state of great receptivity – which is a wondrous state for dream fulfillment.
In yoga nidra, it may look like we are sleeping, but the consciousness is still functioning. There is a deep relaxation and a higher level of awareness.
There are many components of a yoga nidra practice. In this course you will learn all the steps of yoga nidra so that you can develop and deepen your own practice. You will work with your body, your breath, your nervous system, your senses, and your state of consciousness. Yoga nidra is a practice that leads to a serene inner connection and higher understanding of who you truly are on every level of existence – and this is where you begin to live your true soul dream.
You may begin experiencing benefits from this practice already after one class. You may find that your sleep improves, that your creativity is enhanced, and that you develop a deeper soul connection with both yourself and others. Yoga nidra may also help you develop a deeper meditation practice. By setting clear sankalpas, you can teach yourself anything you are interested in learning – as long as it’s in the highest interest of your soul. Yoga nidra is all about enhancing our awareness.
