Yoga Nidra (derived from Tantric tradition) is a powerful technique in which you will learn to relax consciously through a systematic method that induces complete physical, mental, and emotional relaxation. This technique is essentially based on the teachings of Paramahansa Satyananda and the Tantric tradition.
Yoga Nidra describes the state where everything rests in itself, where you are neither carried away by outer influences nor occupied by thoughts, emotions or states.
Another name for Yoga Nidra is “Inner conscious relaxation” or “Conscious sleep” a state that you reach which is as deep as sleep, yet you still remain present, every part of you is made conscious and that is what makes relaxation complete.
Even if you do drift into a sleepy state, the experience of the instructions will raise your consciousness for a beneficial effect that you will notice afterwards
