About This Class

Yoga Nidra translates as 'Yogic Sleep'. It is a progressive form of conscious relaxation that guides the body and mind into a deeply restorative state through meditation.

In effect it bypasses the early stages of ordinary sleep, bringing practitioners directly into the restorative delta brainwave state of the deepest stage of sleep. One hour of Yoga Nidra is often considered equivalent to four hours of deep sleep - ideal for anyone seeking the three R's: rejuvenation, restoration and replenishment of the central nervous system.

The class finishes with a sound bath of Tibetan singing bowls, whose healing vibrations calm the nervous system and support emotional and energetic harmony. Open to all levels and every physical ability.
