Yoga Nidra - Beginners

This is an entry-level Yoga Nidra meditation suitable for those new to the practice. The word 'Nidra' means sleep and this meditation is designed to put you in a state of 'yogic sleep' which in modern psychology is known as the hypnagogic state. A 30-minute Yoga Nidra practice (such as this one) has the same physiological benefits as four hours of sleep, so this is an ideal practice to do in the afternoon if you have not slept well, are feeling tired, or are low on energy.
