Yoga Nidra
Yoga Nidra literally means "yogic sleep." It is an ancient meditation technique where practitioners enter a deeper state of conscious relaxation, moving awareness from the external world to the internal.
Yogic sleep brings us to a state of deep relaxation, verging on sleep, where our senses, intellect, and mind can completely let go and rest. In this dreamless sleep, we are free from the concepts of time, space, and reason. When this happens, brain activity reduces and the body goes into a healing state, removing toxins at a cellular level and refreshing the mind. As a result, 1 hour of Yoga Nidra meditation is said to offer the same benefit as 4 hours of sleep.
Benefits of Yoga Nidra include:
-
Reduced stress
-
Emotional balance
-
Increased focus
-
Reduced pain
-
Reduced anxiety
-
Increased creativity
-

Yoga Nidra is a subtle yet powerful practice that goes beyond simply managing everyday stress and triggers. While it'sgreat at helping us navigate daily challenges, its potential runs much deeper. This ancient technique offers a pathway toprofound healing and personal growth, guiding us toward our most authentic selves.

Types of Meditation we offer:
Types of meditations we offer that share the same goal of gaining inner peace are :
-
Guided meditation. This is sometimes called guided imagery or visualization. With this method of meditation, you form mental images of places or things that help you relax. You try to use as many senses as you can. These include things you can smell, see, hear and feel.
-
Mantra meditation. In this type of meditation, you repeat a calming word, thought or phrase to keep out unwanted thoughts.
-
Mindfulness meditation. This type of meditation is based on being mindful. This means being more aware of the present. In mindfulness meditation, you focus on one thing, such as the flow of your breath. You can notice your thoughts and feelings. But let them pass without judging them.
