This is a highly effective deep relaxation technique. The entire practice is done lying down and is similar to guided meditation. Yoga Nidra activates the parasympathetic nervous system (the part of your nervous system that controls rest and digestion) allowing the practitioner to enter a state of ultimate relaxation. You'll access a realm of consciousness that exists between waking and sleeping, combining an alert awareness of the mind with total relaxation of the body. It is a practice where science and spirit meet—working together to relieve the tension and stress. Yoga Nidra also helps release mental blockages known in Sanskrit as samskaras. This session will emphasize bringing balance to the root chakra's core issues of safety, stability and security.
