Yoga Nidra means Yogic Sleep. Yoga Nidra brings an incredible calmness, quietness and clarity. Yoga Nidra is one of the deepest of all meditations, leading awareness through many levels of mental process to a state of supreme stillness and insight. Total relaxation of the body helps the optimal functioning of the endocrine system. Since mind and body both relax deeply in Yoga Nidra, total relaxation enhances the health of all the body’s systems, mental and physical health can improve.

"Yoga Nidra is a systematic method of complete relaxation, holistically addressing our physiological, neurological, and subconscious needs...Yoga Nidra uniquely unwinds the nervous system, which is the foundation of the body's well-being." - Rod Stryker
