Yoga nidra is an ancient yogic practice of guided meditation designed to cultivate utter relaxation and meditative awareness. The phrase literally means "yoga sleep." While it does not involve actually sleeping, the practice emphasizes long periods in Savasana, or Corpse Pose -- a full-body, reclining relaxation posture taught at the end of conventional yoga asana classes.
Our Yoga Nidra class begins with several restorative poses to bring the body to a relaxed state before being led through a guided meditation.
