Rejuvenates the body & mind 

Regular yogic sleep helps the body enter deeper dimensions of healing and rejuvenation as well as conserve energy. During this state, bodily functions are minimal, metabolism slows down, and hormonal functions increase, giving your body the chance to repair and purge toxins from your system

​

Reduces Stress

Everyone experiences stress, whether it's positive or negative. But if left unchecked, negative stress can push our bodies into an overactive mode, leading to issues like burnout, anxiety and depression. Likewise, buried emotions can negatively impact our bodies and minds.

 

Increases Concentration inward

Concentration means keeping your mind focused on one thing. For many, this is challenging because our minds are often, jumping from one thought to another like a restless monkey.

​

Improves Memory

Practising yogic sleep can also boost our memory. By clearing out mental clutter, we create space for our subconscious to operate more efficiently. This is like tidying up a computer's hard drive to make it run better

​

Strengthens the Autonomic Nervous System Response

The autonomic nervous system (ANS) controls bodily functions like metabolism, healing, and growth without our direct input. It has two parts: the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS).

The SNS gears us up for action, supplying energy to muscles and the heart. On the other hand, the PNS focuses on rest and recovery and operates when we're calm. Ideally, both systems should work when needed. However, because of ongoing stress, many people have an overactive SNS, even when it's time to relax. This can delay body repair and lead to health issues.

​

Releases Emotional Tension 

Yoga Nidra provides a space to explore your feelings and release long-held emotions. In this sleepless state, you’re able to confront difficult emotions without feeling overwhelmed. Through continued practice, you gradually go deeper into these emotions and learn how to let go and find peace.  

Yoga Nidra can be a path to freedom without causing physical stress. It frees you from the constraints of time, space, and reason, allowing you to confront difficult thoughts and feelings with a clear, open mind. 

​

Regulates Sleep Cycles 

Yoga Nidra is extremely beneficial for sleep. Practicing Yoga Nidra helps you relax at night, reduce stress, anxiety and improve your sleep patterns. The pineal gland in our brain produces and releases melatonin, a hormone that regulates our sleep cycles.  ​​
