Yoga nidra is a guided relaxation practice that lets your body rest while your mind stays awake. You settle into a comfortable position, often lying down, and follow a teacher’s voice through a body scan, breath awareness, and visualizations. This shifts the nervous system from fight or flight to rest and digest, encouraging parasympathetic activity. Studies show it can lower stress, improve sleep, and ease anxiety by moving brain activity toward the theta range. You can do it alone with apps or a class, and it helps if you keep the practice consistent, just a few times a week.
