YOGA NIDRA (Guided Deep Rest)
Yoga Nidra is a guided relaxation practice that supports deep rest, nervous system regulation, and mental clarity. It is practised lying down and does not involve physical yoga postures.
Rather than “switching off” Yoga Nidra guides attention in a structured way that allows the body to rest while the mind remains gently aware. This state supports recovery from stress, mental overload, and long-term fatigue.Sessions are calm, accessible, and suitable for beginners and experienced practitioners alike.
