What is Yoga Nidra?
Yoga Nidra, or “yogic sleep,” is a meditative practice of deep relaxation where the body rests and awareness remains awake. Rooted in the Mandukya Upanishad and Tantric tradition, it guides practitioners toward turiya—pure consciousness. Modern teachers like Swami Rama and Swami Satyananda Saraswati systematized it for all levels. Yoga Nidra reduces stress, improves sleep, and can lead to profound self-realization and inner peace.
