The term “Yoga Nidra” translates to “yogic sleep” or “psychic sleep.” Despite the name, it’s not actually about falling asleep, although if you do fall asleep don’t worry that you have done something wrong, this must be what your body needed. You cannot do yoga nidra wrong.

You can use this meditation practice to help relieve fatigue in the afternoon, after completing the practice you will feel more energized and much less groggy than you would after taking a nap. Yoga Nidra takes you to that liminal space between sleep and wakefulness, to allow you to rest and recharge the body and mind.

This meditation can also be used to help you wind down and settle to sleep in the evening. It works by systematically relaxing every part of the body, relieving stress and tension from the muscles, allowing you to fully release and let go and invite rest into the body.
Although this meditation has been designed for the season of Spring, it can also be used for when you are in the Inner Spring (Follicular phase of the Menstrual Cycle) or even your Second Spring (your Post-menopause years).
