Yoga Nidra Meditation (20 minutes) - Suitable for beginners

Yoga Nidra is a form of guided meditation also known as “yogic sleep” or “effortless relaxation”. It will guide you to the hypnagogic state, which is essentially a state of consciousness somewhere between wakefulness and sleeping. It's suitable for everyone, even complete beginners!

Yoga Nidra takes us into a wonderful state of rest, where we can remain effortless and at peace. In this state we become more open and receptive to healing, restoration and are able to access the deeper layers of our inner self.

Due to its deeply relaxing nature, Yoga Nidra is excellent for people who find it difficult to go to sleep, as it not only relaxes the physical self but also calms the internal chatter of the mind. It's said that one hour of Yoga Nidra is equivalent to 4 hours of sleep!
