Namaste Please get ready for Yoga Nidra. Lie down on your back. Adopt the pose called Shavasana. In this position, Body should be straight from head to toe, Legs slightly apart, Arms a little away from the body, With the palms facing upwards. Adjust everything, Your body, Position and clothes, Until you are completely comfortable. During Yoga Nidra, There should not be any physical movement. Close your eyes and keep them closed throughout the practice. Take a deep breath and as you breathe out, Feel the cares and worries of the day flow out of you. Deep inhalation, While exhaling all the cares and worries of the day flowing out of you. Now, Develop the feeling of relaxation. Feel as if you are going to sleep. When relaxation becomes deep, Sleep does come, But you try to keep yourself awake. Make a promise to yourself now that I will not sleep, I will remain awake throughout the practice. During the practice, Follow the voice without intellectualizing or analyzing the instructions, As this will disturb your relaxation. Simply follow the voice with whole awareness and feeling, And if thoughts come to disturb you from time to time, Do not worry, Just continue the practice. Allow yourself to become calm and steady.

This is my favorite, and the most peaceful relaxing experience. For me it’s a peaceful meditation. Thank you. 🙏💛✨☺️

One of the most complete Yoga Nidra practices I have found on insight timer. It promotes very deep rest and includes different elements of practice for physical, mental, and spiritual healing.

Such a deeply restful, peaceful practice. Namaste

This was the most intense Yoga Nidra practice I have ever practiced.I have listened before but this time I literally did all that was asked .I was completely aware and awake while it feels as if I have been asleep for hours.I completely feel rested as I have slept all night in the most relaxed and comfortable way .Thank you so much .I am a beginner at practicing Yoga Nidra,maybe three or four months but this time I actually got through it with no problem,no body sensations that were distracting me to move and was literally at the most complete stillness I could have been and your guidance is so relaxing and is in such a beautiful way.I absolutely love to listen to any of your teachings and guidances....Namaste
Much Love and Peace ❤️✌️

This is a proper full yoga nidra practice. I must admit I was asleep for the first half an hour! I feel very relaxed now. Thank you.
