Yoga Nidra For Sleep 20 Minute Guided Meditation

Yoga Nidra for Sleep - Why Its Not Yoga Nidra

Yoga Nidra is sleep with trace awareness, its a state of consciousness. While we’re trying to fall asleep, we don’t want to remain in the actual state of Yoga Nidra, hence this practice is utilizing the techniques many Yoga Nidra practitioners use to enter into Yoga Nidra to actually fall asleep. 

Why Do Yoga Nidra Techniques Work To Fall Asleep

In our modern world, we’re constantly bombarded with overwhelming amounts of stimuli. It can be hard for even the most well-versed yogis or frequent meditation pupils to actually fully relax and go to sleep. But the very specific techniques of Yoga Nidra help bring the perfect combination of relaxation to the mind and body that put our brains and bodies back to homeostasis to fall asleep.

I Tried Yoga Nidra For Sleep and Didn't Sleep

While I’m no sleep expert, my biggest recommendation to get to sleep after trying this meditation is to practice an asana flow beforehand. Sometimes our bodies just need more movement or release before we can fully relax.

I highly recommend checking out my 10 minute bedtime yoga class before you listen to the Yoga Nidra for sleep meditation.

And other times, we just need more specialized, long term help. Reach out to your physician or naturopath if you’re really struggling with sleep issues for an extended period of time. I personally love Dr. Sherri Greene.
