    Why should I practice Yoga Nidra?

    Yoga Nidra or Yogic Sleep is often misunderstood as simply being a form of relaxation, yet the intention behind the practice is to accelerate the shift to higher stages of consciousness by literally giving the practitioner a felt sense of these states during the practice. The more these states are experienced, the easier they are to access both inside and outside the practice of Yoga Nidra, effectively building a bridge to higher states of consciousness in everyday life.

    7 minute reset

    Try this 7 minute NSDR practice (Non Sleep Deep Relaxation) - when you’ve completed an intense task and need to reset before moving on to the next thing - when you’re stressed, annoyed or second guessing yourself, to come to a place of calm and acceptance - when you’re leaving work and want to leave work behind, listen to this before you drive home or on the train or bus.

    Realize your Full Potential

    A Yoga Nidra dedicated to achieving your full potential in life. The intention for the practice is “I am released from my self-image to explore, expand and experience the infinite potential unfolding from within me.” In other words, I let go of my conditioning, what I’ve been told or I tell myself about what I can and cannot do, and open myself up to exploring my full potential. ## In this Yoga Nidra you use a technique known as "tension and relaxation".  I will invite you to inhale and to hold your breath as you tense various parts of your body, and then to exhale and relax when your body prompts you to do so.  Only hold to your comfort level to stay in the experience.  If you cannot have undue pressure in your head for medical or other reasons, please breathe normally throughout the exercise.  ## This is a long Yoga Nidra and the pace is slow so it is recommended for those with some prior experience of the practice or of other relaxation techniques.

    Make up for lost sleep with LoveYogaNidra

    A Yoga Nidra designed to help you to make up for lost sleep. Yoga Nidra is a sleep-based meditation technique, which means that it harnesses the body’s falling asleep mechanism to access a deep state of meditation. In practice, you are  guided from the waking state to a deep sleep state and back to the waking state. It is a consciously-experienced, complete sleep cycle, making it the ultimate power nap - 45 minutes of Yoga Nidra is equivalent to 2-3 hours of normal sleep. Ideally the practice is done lying down somewhere where you won’t be disturbed, the conditions in which you would normally go to sleep. This Yoga Nidra is for you if you: - have not slept well and are feeling exhausted before the day even gets underway. - wake up really early and want to extend your sleep hours. - feel depleted and need an energy boost.

    Fall Asleep with I AM Yoga Nidra

    This Yoga Nidra is for you if you: - suffer from insomnia and have trouble sleeping - if you have problems dropping off to sleep at night - if you wake up in the middle of the night and have trouble getting back to sleep. This Yoga Nidra is designed to help you to fall asleep as quickly and efficiently as possible. Yoga Nidra is a sleep-based meditation technique, which means that it harnesses the body’s falling asleep mechanism to access a deep state of meditation. In a typical Yoga Nidra, the practitioner guides you from the waking state to a deep sleep state and back to the waking state, allowing you to have a conscious experience of a full sleep cycle. This particular Yoga Nidra does not guide you back to the waking state. As the intention of this meditation is to support you in falling asleep, you will be guided to the deepest part of your sleep cycle and the meditation will end there. Consider the practice to be a tugboat guiding you into your own sleep cycle.
