Recording - Yoga Masterclass 22.11. Yoga Nidra.

The quality of sleep forms one of the pillars for good health. In the master class guided by Dr. Helena Lass you will learn to relax both your body and mind, and you will learn how to quickly recharge yourself. For this purpose, yoga nidra or a technique of yogic relaxation is acquired. According to studies, brainwaves characteristic of deep dreamless sleep have been registered during the practice, claiming 15 minutes of yoga nidra to be equal to 1 hour of regular sleep.

Yoga nidra is a special meditative practice where you learn to relax your physical, vital and mental levels of functioning to the maximum, while sustaining consciousness. Yoga nidra is sometimes called sleepless sleep or ultimate-rest, because brain studies show that a deep sleep-like state develops during practice, leading to 15 minutes of yoga nidra being as efficient as 1 hour of regular sleep.

The deeper goal of yoga nidra is to cleanse the subconscious, maintain consciousness even while the body sleeps, and discover a more relaxed state of consciousness from the waking conscious state.

The schedule of the master class is as follows:
❧ Part 1 (2 h) - yoga master class: awareness, conscious relaxation, short version of yoga-nidra (15 min)

❧ Part 2 (2 h) - yoga master class continues: 45-minute full version of yoga-nidra, functional aromatherapy
