A Guided Practice for Rest and Nervous System Reset
all of yoga podcast · episode 01
Sleep.
We all know we need it, but it gets more and more elusive.
Setting up a business? Sleep less: achieve more.
Got kids? Lack of sleep is the status quo!
Working hard? Stay up late, it's part of the deal.
How long we're able to sleep for is often dictated by life. But the quality of sleep, that's something we can work on together! This yoga nidra for deep sleep has been created to help to sleep deeply, soundly and completely.
Why Yoga Nidra Helps You Sleep
Yoga Nidra is a guided nervous system practice which gently shifts you from sympathetic activation (fight or flight) to parasympathetic activation (rest and digest).
Research shows that guided relaxation practices:
Reduce cortisol (known as the stress hormone)
Improve heart rate variability (HRV)
Increase parasympathetic tone
Improve subjective sleep quality
So, grab cushions and blankets and anything else that will help you feel comfortable, feel free to set a timer for afterwards so that you can fully relax into the practice, and enjoy.
