Yoga Nidrā, also called “dream yoga” has fairly simple mechanics: you lie down in a comfortable position, usually savasana, and a voice guides you. But to delve a little deeper into the topic, Nidra explores Pratyahara (withdrawal of the senses). Yoga nidra is a form of tantra. It does not mean “sleep” nor “concentration”. It is opening the inner chambers of your mind. In yoga Nidrā, you descend into the inner dimension of your consciousness. The sound of my voice acts as a guide. Before starting a Yoga Nidrā practice it is very useful to have an intention (or "Sankalpa") prepared that you can use regularly during sessions. I invite you to think deeply about a simple, positive phrase in the present time that fills you with joy. When we repeat the Sankalpa mentally at the beginning and ending of a Yoga Nidrā session, we are planting and water a seed in the deepest level of our mind. This allows us to shape positive habits that help us achieve our biggest life objectives. Benefits: Yoga Nidra will help you release stress and restore your internal balance. Precautions: To make the most of the benefits of this session, we recommend that, in the hours following, you avoid consuming alcohol or participating in activities that require intense physical effort. Instead, we invite you to enjoy the peaceful effects of this practice in the hours that follow, including throughout the next day. Get ready for a deep and renewing relaxation experience.
