Yoga Nidra for Self-Healing

with JAY KALATHIL

Yoga Nidra is an ancient meditative yoga technique developed thousands of years ago in India. It is designed to bring your body to relaxation and your mind to deeper levels of consciousness. This wonderfully effective relaxation technique is excellent for reducing stress, improving sleep, and reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety.

This workshop will start with simple stretch exercises for relaxing the body, pranayama for invigorating vital energies in the body, and pratyahara to withdraw the mind from perceptive world. Conscious practice of these exercises will gradually prepare for a meditative mind.

  yoga nidra is not doing, it is being and experiencing our true nature in its full magnificent.
