Retreat Details
About Yoga Nidra
Yoga Nidra is the practice of enlightened sleep, and is performed lying down in 30-45 minute practice sessions. One session of Yoga Nidra can bring the same rest as 4 hours of sleep.
Practitioners of Yoga Nidra improve their sleep, dreams and dream yoga abilities, have profound meditative insights, while healing the physical, emotional, and mental layers of the body.
