Journey to your true power: Breath work with music

Yoga Nidra

Yoga Nidra or Yogic sleep is an ancient practice that combines TANTRA & YOGA. It’s a guided passive meditation technique that creates a state of consciousness between waking and sleeping. It helps with issues such as stress, anxiety and depression and is increasingly being used to enhance the quality of sleep as a therapy tool. Yoga nidra is a practice that everyone, from children to seniors, can do. It's easy to follow at any age. All that your body needs to do is lie down on the floor. And even if you can't lie down on the floor, you can still do this practice seated.
