What is Yoga Nidra?
Yoga Nidra is a form of guided meditation that promotes deep relaxation. The stages of Yoga Nidra involve concentrating on breathing and muscle relaxation to achieve an altered state of consciousness where letting go, creativity and introspection are possible.
How does a Yoga Nidra practice work?
During a Yoga Nidra session, participants lie down in a comfortable position and follow the voice of the teacher, who guides them through a series of instructions and visualisations. The aim is to achieve a state of complete relaxation and calm, while remaining conscious and focused.
Yoga Nidra can be combined with the Sound Bath. The sounds and vibrations of Tibetan singing bowls and other instruments will then be used to accompany the stages of Yoga Nidra and guide you towards letting go of your mind.
What are the specific benefits of Yoga Nidra?
Yoga Nidra has many perceived benefits, different for everyone, including reducing stress and anxiety, improving sleep quality, enhancing creativity and concentration, and increasing general well-being. It is also said to help access the subconscious, enabling in-depth personal development.
Overall, Yoga Nidra is a deeply restorative practice that can benefit anyone looking to reduce stress, improve sleep and boost their overall sense of well-being. It is said that a standard 45' Yoga Nidra practice would be equivalent to at least 4 hours of sleep, how tempting is that?
Laurence regularly offers Yoga Nidra practices in combination with a Sound Bath during which Tibetan singing bowls and other intuitive instruments will be played to help you let go in a different way. Discover the course programme and book your mat here.
