You’ve likely heard of yoga and meditation, but what about yoga nidra? This ancient practice is renowned for its ability to help with stress, anxiety and sleep problems. As someone who occasionally struggles with all three, I decided to try it for 10 days.
Yoga nidra translates from Sanskrit as ‘yogic sleep'. It's meant to induce deep relaxation through guided instructions for breath awareness, body scanning and visualization. It's typically practiced lying down on your back in corpse pose (relaxation pose), placing you in a state between wakefulness and sleep.
