Description
This Yoga Nidra for deep rest is a guided meditation designed to calm the nervous system, release physical tension, and help you transition into restorative sleep.
The practice begins with gentle breath and somatic release, allowing the body to soften and feel supported in stillness. From there, you’ll be guided through a traditional Yoga Nidra body scan, intention setting (sankalpa), and subtle awareness practices that help quiet the mind and deepen relaxation.
Yoga Nidra is often called “yogic sleep” because it allows the body to enter profound rest while awareness remains softly present.
This practice can help with:
• difficulty falling asleep
• mental overactivity at night
• stress and nervous system fatigue
• deep physical relaxation
You may remain aware throughout the practice, or naturally drift into sleep as the body settles.
Both experiences are part of Yoga Nidra.
Simply lie down, get comfortable, and allow yourself to rest.
