Yoga Nidra is particularly effective after a Hatha Yoga Class, although it can be done at any time of day or night. In the Yoga Tradition, it issued to restore and cool down the body after an intense Yoga Session and ensures the body can absorb the benefits of the yoga asanas.
Yoga Nidra promotes deep relaxation and rest that isn’t found in your average meditation practice. During a Hatha Yoga class, the students activate their life force energy of Prana Shakti in the postures. A long deep guided Savasana style Yoga Nidra increases the benefits of a Hatha Yoga session. Yoga Nidra is known to activate the relaxation response and improve the functions of the nervous and endocrine systems in the body. A Yoga Nidra session promotes the repair and regeneration, relieving muscular, mental, and emotional tension decreasing anxiety and improving mood, sleep, and life. It is known to enhance memory, creativity, improve sleeping patterns, and cultivates positive body awareness restructuring the Mind/Body/Spirit balance within. It is used extensively for chronic pain, grief, anger, PTSD, and deep relaxation. Very good for blood pressure, lowering cholesterol, improving heart rate and levels of of adrenaline and cortisol. Yoga Nidra develops focus and mental willpower and brings inner peace, joy, and well being to practitioners.
Before doing this meditation, make sure to lie down on a bed, couch, or yoga mat on the floor. You may place a soft pillow under your bent knees on under your head to make yourself as comfortable as possible. It is best that you remain completely still during the entire Yoga Nidra session but if for some reason you need to adjust something to make yourself more comfortable feel free to do so. The important thing is that you are able to let yourself completely relax during the session. Some people place and eye pillow over their eyes or make sure to wrap a blanket or shawl over themselves, not only to keep warm but to contain the mediation energy or Shakti during the session.
