Yoga Nidra is a form of guided meditation, a method of Pratyahara (withdrawal of senses) that allows you to scan the body and tap into a state of relaxed consciousness as the mind settles in a place between wakefulness and sleep.
Why is yoga nidra known as the art of relaxation?
It is a state of consciousness different from waking, sleeping or dreaming. It is a state of deep relaxation combined with acute awareness.
