Yoga Nidra, also known as "yogic sleep," is a powerful, guided meditation practice that brings the body and mind into a deep state of relaxation. Unlike typical sleep, Yoga Nidra takes you through conscious relaxation, promoting profound rest, mental clarity, and emotional rejuvenation.

The practice often includes visualization techniques and affirmations (Sankalpa) to cultivate positive intentions and inner peace.
Yoga Nidra’s unique approach allows participants to enter a state between waking and sleeping, where deep relaxation and restoration can occur.
