The history of Yoga Nidra
Yoga Nidra has roots in ancient yogic traditions of meditation and conscious relaxation.
It was systemized in the mid-1900s by Swami Satyananda Saraswati, who shared it with the world as a practice for holistic well-being.
Today, it is used by people of all ages and backgrounds to support rest, healing, creativity, and personal growth.
It wasn't until I attended The Southwest Institute of Healing Arts that I discovered Yoga Nidra—and honestly, I fell in love with it right away.
​
I expected it to be like the yoga I had practiced before, full of movement, stretching, and poses (which I still love!). Instead, I discovered something entirely different: a practice of guided rest that invited me to slow down, listen inward, and simply be.
​
I couldn't wait to share this "new" way to meditate with my family and friends. The more I experienced Yoga Nidra, the more I realized it wasn't just helping me relax—it was helping me reconnect with myself. I noticed I felt more grounded, more present, and better able to navigate whatever life placed in front of me.
​
It reminded me that sometimes the most meaningful transformation doesn't come from doing more—it comes from allowing ourselves to simply rest.
​
That experience is what inspired me to become a certified Yoga Nidra facilitator. Today, it's one of my greatest joys to create a space where others can experience the same deep rest, self-discovery, and reconnection that first captured my heart.
Why I love Yoga Nidra
Common questions
-
Not at all. Yoga Nidra is designed for everyone, whether this is your first experience with meditation or you've had a regular practice.
-
You might—and that's okay.
-
Many people drift into sleep during Yoga Nidra, especially if they're feeling exhausted or overwhelmed. Even if you do fall asleep for part of the session, your body and mind can still benefit from the deep state of relaxation.
-
With regular practice, many people find they naturally remain aware while deeply resting. Whether you stay awake, drift in and out, or briefly fall asleep, there is no right or wrong experience.
-
Every session is exactly as it needs to be.
-
Wear whatever helps you feel comfortable and relaxed.
-
Soft, loose-fitting clothing is ideal, as your body temperature may cool slightly during deep rest. You may also wish to bring a cozy sweater or socks if you tend to get chilly.
-
Blankets, bolsters, and other supportive props are available to help you settle in comfortably. The goal is simply to create a space where your body can fully relax.
-
Come as you are, and let comfort be your guide.
-
Yes! Yoga Nidra can be a wonderful practice for children, helping them relax, regulate their emotions, improve focus, and reconnect with a sense of calm.
-
Children experience Yoga Nidra differently than adults, so sessions are adapted to be age-appropriate, engaging, and supportive of their stage of development.
-
If you're wondering whether Yoga Nidra is a good fit for your child, I'd be happy to talk with you and recommend the best option for their age, personality, and needs.
-
While both practices support relaxation and well-being, Yoga Nidra offers a unique experience of guided rest.
-
In many forms of meditation, you're encouraged to focus your attention on the breath, a mantra, or the present moment. Yoga Nidra invites you to simply lie down comfortably and follow a gentle guided journey through awareness, allowing your body to rest deeply while your mind remains receptive.
-
There is nothing to concentrate on, clear from your mind, or achieve. Instead of practicing awareness through effort, Yoga Nidra encourages awareness through ease.
-
Many people find it more accessible than traditional meditation, especially if they struggle to sit still or quiet a busy mind.
