Yoga Nidra is a systematic method of inducing complete physical, mental, and emotional relaxation. In Yoga Nidra, the consciousness is in a state between waking and sleep.  

Yoga Nidra means Yogic Sleep; a state of conscious, deep sleep where we learn to relax consciously. Yoga Nidra is deep relaxation with an inner state of awareness. In Yoga Nidra, the body, mind, and intellect are completely relaxed and the practitioner appears to be sleeping. In the state of Yoga Nidra, however, the consciousness functions at a deeper level and the subconscious and the unconscious realms of the mind are more open. This type of yoga has been found to reduce stress, tension, and anxiety; and is beneficial for insomnia. It is said that 1 hour of Yoga Nidra is equivalent to 4 hours of sleep!
