Yoga Nidra with Lissa Miles

Yoga Nidra, or psychic sleep, is a deep relaxation technique and meditation. Yoga Nidra aims to experience the state between sleeping and waking. The practitioner lies in a comfortable position, often wrapped in a blanket with eyes closed and is guided into a deep state of conscious awareness sleep.

Yoga Nidra helps regulate the autonomic nervous system, regulating the heartbeat, breathing, digestion and blood flow. It helps balance the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, benefiting immunity, digestion and stress management. It also activates the pineal gland, releasing the hormone melatonin, which acts as a powerful antioxidant, aids immune function, manages blood pressure cortisol levels and promotes restful sleep.
