FAQs
-
Yoga Nidra, often called "yogic sleep," is a guided meditation practice that helps you enter a state of deep relaxation and rest while remaining awake. It allows the body and mind to unwind completely, promoting healing, balance, and self-awareness.
-
Yoga Nidra is practiced by lying down in a comfortable position, usually on your back, with support like blankets or cushions for added comfort. A guide leads you through a series of steps, including body awareness, breathwork, visualization, and intention-setting, to help you enter a meditative state between wakefulness and sleep. The practice requires no physical effort, making it accessible to everyone.
-
Yoga Nidra offers numerous benefits, such as:
Reducing stress and anxiety by calming the nervous system.
Enhancing sleep quality and combating insomnia.
Promoting physical and emotional healing.
Increasing clarity, focus, and creativity.
Cultivating a deeper sense of inner peace and self-awareness.
-
Rest goes beyond sleep; it’s about intentionally stepping away from life’s demands to replenish your energy, reconnect with yourself, and nurture your well-being. Rest is a radical act of self-care that creates space for healing, creativity, and balance, allowing you to live more fully aligned with your natural rhythms.
-
Daring to Rest is a transformative approach to rest based on Yoga Nidra and self-discovery created by Karen Brody. It’s a guided journey that empowers individuals to reclaim rest as a necessity, not a luxury, and to explore its profound effects on their physical, emotional, and spiritual health. As a certified Daring to Rest facilitator, I help people break free from exhaustion and burnout, reconnect with themselves, and embrace a more rested and fulfilled life.
-
While traditional meditation often involves concentration or mindfulness techniques, Yoga Nidra guides you into a state of conscious relaxation where you hover between wakefulness and sleep. Unlike regular sleep, Yoga Nidra helps you access deeper layers of awareness, allowing for profound healing and restoration. It’s a practice of "dynamic rest" that calms the mind and restores the body without requiring the effort of other meditative practices.
