Bulletin Highlight: Yoga Nidra Rewires your Brain
“Yoga nidra is the yoga of aware sleep. In this lies the secret of self healing. Yoga Nidra is a pratyahara technique in which the distractions of the mind are contained and the mind is relaxed.”
— Satyananda Saraswati
Yoga Nidra, or “yogic sleep,” is a powerful experience of progressively relaxing and revitalizing the body on all levels: physical, energetic mental, and emotional.
It has the power to help you access unconditional joy, achieve deep restorative peace and awaken your intuition.
