Often known as ‘effortless relaxation’ or ‘psychic sleep’, Yoga Nidra is one of the deepest states of relaxation a person can experience while maintaining full consciousness. This style of practice is used to reduce stress and anxiety by rotating awareness throughout the body, singling out each specific body part and using both thought and breath to relax it. Some studios offer Yoga Nidra classes, or include the practice at the end of a class in place of savasana, though with guided recordings it can be practiced individually from anywhere.
