Yoga Nidra is a powerful restorative practice that is well known for effectively improving sleep, reducing stress & anxiety, promoting overall well being, and calming the nervous system. It's easy to do- all you have to do is lay down and listen! It's great to do at bedtime, or whenever you feel like you could use a nap. I like to do it when I feel tired and need to refresh my energy. 
 
Here are some of the benefits of yoga nidra:
Reduces stress and anxiety. Yoga nidra can help to calm the nervous system. This is because it helps to shift the brain into a state of deep relaxation, which is known to have beneficial effects on mood and emotional regulation.
Improves sleep quality. Yoga nidra can help to improve sleep quality by promoting relaxation and reducing stress levels. It can also help to regulate the sleep-wake cycle and improve sleep efficiency.
Boosts the immune system. Yoga nidra has been shown to have a number of benefits for the immune system, including increasing the production of white blood cells and reducing inflammation. This is likely due to the fact that yoga nidra helps to reduce stress levels, which is known to have a negative impact on the immune system.
Improves cognitive function. Yoga nidra can help to improve cognitive function, including memory, attention, and focus. This is because it helps to increase the levels of alpha waves in the brain, which are associated with relaxation and improved cognitive performance.
Increases self-awareness. Yoga nidra can help to increase self-awareness by providing an opportunity to observe your thoughts, feelings, and sensations without judgment. This can help you to become more aware of your own patterns of reactivity and stress, which can lead to greater self-regulation and well-being.
Promotes overall well-being. Yoga nidra has been shown to have a number of other benefits for overall well-being, including reducing pain, improving mood, and increasing energy levels. It is a safe and effective practice that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and fitness levels.
