How Yoga Nidra is Practiced

Yoga Nidra typically involves lying down in a comfortable position and following a guided meditation. The practice takes the practitioner through several stages, including body scan, breath awareness, visualization, and Sankalpa (intention setting). This practice can include sound healing for in-person sessions only. 

Yoga Nidra is a versatile and accessible practice that can benefit people of all ages and physical conditions. Its ability to promote deep relaxation and holistic well-being makes it a valuable tool for managing modern life's stresses and enhancing overall health and quality of life.
