During my yoga teacher training in 2008, I was able to experience yoga nidra for the first time. I took blankets and pillows and made myself as comfortable as possible. What I experienced next was extraordinarily calming. Because I was being led through a structured relaxation, my mind was able to stay keenly focused and alert while my body systematically relaxed into a deep, peaceful state. During a normal night’s sleep, I am unable to perceive this type of rest, but during yoga nidra, I was able to fully experience the complete quieting of my body, mind, and emotions. When I relaxed my body, the stress and anxiety I was holding dissipated. I felt the different parts of me entwined and connected as an integrated whole, and was ready to face life with increased clarity. It was amazing!
This past summer, I had the pleasure of studying with a master teacher, Richard Miller. He developed a type of yoga nidra called Integrative Restoration, or Irest which has been used to help hundreds of people suffering from traumatic experiences, especially soldiers dealing with PTSD.
I have met many who have come to yoga searching for this type of healing, only to feel self-conscious and inadequate. Yoga Nidra requires no physical expertise, only an open, inquisitive mind, and a desire to feel truly well.

“You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complex and extremely broad for me. Im looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!”
Great article. I’ve enjoyed this contribution. Its nice to see every questions answered in a blog post like this. I will add this post on my blog and link to it. Thanks for a clear informative post, I’ve learned a lot. I hope to see videos though as I can be A.D.D and reading articles is not my favorite thing to do online. So what I do sometimes is just print the whole thing and read offline.
Magnificent! (As usual.
