Ep 20. The Science of Yoga Nidra

Yoga nidra or non-sleep deep rest is the most restorative & rejuvenating somatic practice I've ever experienced. This episode explores:

  • The history of yoga nidra

  • How yoga nidra is both a consciousness and a restorative practice

  • Incredible science of yoga nidra and how yoga nidra can improve health outcomes related to anxiety, depression, pain, cholesterol and high blood pressure

  • Why yoga nidra is a favorite among my clients

  • Recommended time of day and duration for yoga nidra

  • What to expect during a yoga nidra

*Edit - I accidentally said yoga nidra puts you into beta brainwaves but I meant delta brainwaves.

The episode ends with a 13 min yoga nidra that will leave you feeling relaxed and recharged.
