Afternoon Yoga Nidra for Energy & Focus
all of yoga podcast · episode 39
This afternoon yoga nidra practice is designed for those moments when your energy dips and your mind feels foggy.
Perhaps it’s the post-lunch slump, a long day of screen time, or fatigue that creeps in through the afternoon - when you still need to function.
Yoga Nidra is a guided practice that helps your nervous system reset, allowing your clarity and focus to return naturally. This short practice is suitable for the daytime and can be revisited whenever you need a gentle pause that restores rather than depletes.
this practice is perfect for
overcoming an energy dip or mental fatigue in the afternoon
reducing overstimulation, scattered energy, or fogginess during the working day
those long periods sitting, working at a desk, or on screens
when you want to rest without falling asleep
an alternative to caffeine or pushing through
what to expect
start by settling into a comfortable, supported position
soften any sensory input and gently turn attention inward
deep rest in a state between wakefulness and sleep
support your nervous system regulation
