In Yoga Nidra we are journeying away from the physical body through various brain waves to help put the physical body, the thinking mind & the emotional body to sleep.

Below are some examples of how you could position yourself.

Usually you would practice on the floor, however if getting down the floor isn't an option, please practice on your bed or sofa (a place where there are no / very little distractions!)

​

You want to be comfortable, but not so comfortable that you immediately fall asleep.

Although Yoga Nidra translates as Yogic Sleep, there is no actual sleeping involved.

We aim to remain awake and aware.

Don't worry if you do fall asleep though, allow yourself this much needed time to rest!
