Yoga Nidra

Yoga nidra is also known as deep sleep. This help in deep relaxation. Yoga nidra is the fourth of five yoga states of consciousness. In the yoga nidra state, the consciousness is inactive. It is an ancient practice that is characterized by a series of mediation exercises that lead the yogi to a greater state of relaxation and an awareness of one's true self. Yoga nidra takes the practitioner through many levels of awareness to one of the deepest states of mediation in hopes of experiencing the ultimate awakening to one's true nature. It can be referred to as yogic sleep, sleep state, yoga sleep, sleep of the yogis or sleep with awareness.
