Yoga Nidra is a unique yogic practice. It is a form of guided meditation incorporating breath and visualisation techniques. It is often called “the meditative heart of modern yoga”.

Traditionally Yoga Nidra is practised lying down (but if you have medical issues which prevent this, you can sit in a chair). Anyone can do Yoga Nidra regardless of their fitness level even those suffering from serious health conditions, it:

• Is a very accessible meditation practice.

• Is very soothing and deeply restorative, calming the entire nervous system.

• Is particularly effective in alleviating stress, anxiety and insomnia.

• Has a positive effect on both your mental and physical wellbeing.

• Gives you momentary relief from your habitual thought patterns.

• Can be used to transform negative habits, behaviours and ways of thinking.

• Improves mental resilience.

Many people who have struggled with other forms of meditation say this practice has transformed their understanding of what meditation is.
