I run small groups of up to 5 people at a time, for 45 minutes, using a method of inducing complete mental, emotional and physical relaxation. It is practiced in a quiet space, remaining completely still throughout.
What you’ll need: a mat, a blanket to cover you, a light pillow for support of your head, or under the legs, if required. Yoga Nidra - The Blissful Relaxation “Most people sleep without resolving their tensions, This is termed nidra. Nidra means sleep, no matter what or why But yoga nidra means sleep after throwing off the burdens It is of a blissful, higher quality altogether. When awareness is separate and distinct from the vrittis, When waking, dream, and deep sleep pass like clouds, Yet awareness of atma remains This is the experience of total relaxation. Relaxation does not mean sleep Relaxation means to be blissfully happy, It has no end. I call bliss absolute relaxation; Sleep is a different matter. Sleep gives only mind and sense relaxation. Bliss relaxes the atma, the inner self; That is why, in tantra, Yoga nidra is the doorway to samadhi.” - Swami Satyananda Saraswati |
