Yoga Nidra is a guided meditation practice often called “yogic sleep.” You will want to lie down comfortably on your back as you listen. This 30 minute practice will guide you into a deeply relaxed state between wakefulness and sleep. Research shows that 1 hour of this practice is as beneficial for the body as 4 hours of conventional sleep.

If you enjoy this practice, I encourage you to download Insight Timer to try more free yoga nidra practices or download Rod Stryker’s yoga nidra (paid) app called Sanctuary. You can also find Rod Stryker’s free yoga nidra practices on youtube.

Additionally, I offer in-person yoga workshops where you can try yoga nidra practices and an online psychoeducational program for women (Mālama Circle) teaching somatic tools for stress management and emotional regulation, including breathwork (pranayama), yoga nidra, restorative yoga, meditation, mindfulness, and more. You can learn more on my yoga website here.
