Yoga nidra is the only known way to rest the unconscious mind. It is a state of conscious sleep in which a person is both alert and deeply relaxed on a physical, nervous system, mental and emotional level. For thousands of years, meditation masters have used the methods of sleepless sleep (yoga nidra) to learn the secrets of the Self, to discover depths of sciences and arts, and to rejuvenate and heal themselves.

Our consciousness during yoga nidra functions at a deep level which increases the capacity of our mind. In this state, we improve our power of focus, connect with our higher Self, and increase well being. It becomes easier to access our intuition to make decisions, find answers to philosophical questions, learn, and to maintain a positive state of mind. Reducing stress through yoga nidra supports and improves physical and mental health.

In yoga nidra, we reach delta waves of deep non-REM sleep while simultaneously remaining fully conscious. We discover how to get the deep rest we need each day while reducing our need for sleep. The quality of rest we experience in yoga nidra is completely different from ordinary sleep.
