Sleep Well, Be Well: Yoga Nidra For Sleep

Sleep Well, Be Well.

Find a quiet, comfortable place where you can lie down and won’t be disturbed. You don’t have to be on your yoga mat, you could be in bed, on the sofa or the floor.

Make sure you have plenty of blankets and pillows to make yourself comfortable. If you have an eye pillow or eye mask, you can use this too!

Try not to have any expectations of how you are going to feel during and after this practice. Sometimes, we can expect a quick fix and be disappointed when it doesn’t happen. Remember that every experience is valid and something we can learn from.

Sometimes, you might fall asleep. This is OKAY! You will wake up when your body is ready to. Although the purpose of Yoga Nidra is not to go to sleep, some people find the practice useful in helping them to fall asleep.

If you want to come out of the Yoga Nidra practice at any time, all you need to do is move your hands and feet, and open your eyes and you will come out of the state.
