Staying awake during Yoga Nidra can be tricky. When you relax deeply, it’s easy to doze off. No need to worry, even if you do fall asleep you will still receive all of the benefits of the practice. If you doze off, it shows you’re following the instructions and letting go of stress. However, to get the best results, try to stay awake, even in a relaxed state.

Yoga Nidra is not meant to replace sleep. Even though 45 minutes of Yoga Nidra is said to be as restorative as 3 hours of sleep, it is not a long-term substitute for sleep. Yoga Nidra is a catalyst for a great night’s sleep.

Consistent practice fosters a deeper connection with self, facilitating personal growth and liberation. Ultimately, establishing a routine that aligns with your lifestyle will yield the most beneficial outcomes.

Ideally, engaging in this practice two to three times per week is recommended to experience profound relaxation and self-awareness. Each session lasting between 5 to 45 minutes.

No prior experience is required, just an open mind and a comfortable place to lie down.

Yoga Nidra and meditation share similarities, however, they are distinct practices, with unique characteristics.

Traditional meditation involves focusing the mind, often on a single point, to cultivate mindfulness and peacefulness, while requiring a certain degree of control over thoughts, with conscious effort to remain present.

Yoga Nidra is a form of guided meditation that takes the practitioner into a state of conscious sleep, where the body is completely relaxed, yet the mind remains awake and alert. The practitioner is led through a sequence of verbal instructions incorporating a series of breath, body, and awareness techniques to facilitate deep relaxation, by withdrawing the senses inward.

One key difference is the approach to the subconscious mind. In traditional meditation, the goal is often to quiet the mind. In Yoga Nidra, the practitioner is guided to interact with and explore the subconscious mind. The practice of Yoga Nidra is particularly effective in addressing deep-rooted beliefs and patterns, which can lead to significant personal transformation.

While scientific research on Yoga Nidra is continually evolving, studies have provided insight in the positive affects on various aspects of physical and mental well-being.
