In a New York yoga studio at dawn, a dozen practitioners lie quietly in savasana (corpse pose) as a soft voice guides them deeper into relaxation. No vigorous postures are needed – just a mat, a pillow, and closed eyes.
This is Yoga Nidra – often called “yogic sleep” – a guided practice that leads the practitioner into a state between waking and dream. Unlike ordinary sleep, however, the mind remains consciously aware.
The result, according to both tradition and science, is profound rest and stress relief.
