Yoga Nidra — The Art of Conscious Rest

Yoga Nidra weaves together ancient Vedic wisdom with modern neuroscience. It invites you into a state of deep relaxation while simultaneously awakening gentle energy within.

It may appear simple — just lying down or sitting comfortably and listening — yet the effects are profound. Think of it as Savasana to the 10th power.

Through this effortless practice, all five koshas (layers of self) are re-educated to remember what a truly rested, nourished nervous system feels like.

Science now confirms what the sages knew: Yoga Nidra can help heal the effects of trauma and chronic stress, even supporting regeneration within the brain itself.

And beyond all the research — it simply feels deliciously restful.

No striving. No doing. Just being.

Please bring extra blankets and socks to be cozy
