YOGA NIDRA AND ITS BENEFITS Yoga Nidra  (Sanskrit:  योग   निद्रा  “yogic sleep”) is a state of being where the Yogi is neither completely asleep nor fully awake, sort of drowsily aware. With an entirely relaxed body, the Yogi is guided by a set of verbal instructions to become thoroughly conscious of their inner expanse, steadily and efficiently.

This practice has proven helpful in taming one’s anxiety and stress within minutes into the activity. War veterans, Soldiers, victims of crime, and people suffering from chronic anxiety have benefitted immensely, thanks to the powers of Yoga Nidra. Here, we...
