Deep

Rest

Yoga nidra is a powerful lying-down guided practice that helps you regulate and reset your nervous system, optimize your sleep, and gain emotional and spiritual health. It’s the keystone teaching behind most deep rest practices.

A helpful frame for the practice of yoga nidra (translated as yogic sleep) is that of NSDR (non sleep deep rest). This term was coined by neuroscientist Dr. Andrew Huberman. NSDR refers to practices like yoga nidra that help you self-direct relaxation and learning while in a motionless yet aware state. Dr. Huberman coined this phrase because it’s a straightforward description of what yoga nidra is, and can be helpful for an audience that may not immediately grasp its meaning.

The central tools you learn are:

  • the capacity to downregulate your nervous system into states of calm and ease

  • the mindfulness-based skill of building self-awareness for emotion regulation through body sensing and breathing techniques

  • the ability to ease your mind to support falling asleep

  • the framework for inquiring into any limited ideas of self and world

  • the creation of an inner resource of safety and well-being that you can return to in any moment

  • self-discovery techniques for purpose and creativity

… all within the context of a deeply relaxing experience right at the border of wake and sleep where you are lying down or reclining and listening to the guidance
