Yoga Nidra: Deep Rest for an Overworked Nervous System

Duration: 17 minutes
Best for: Deep relaxation, nervous system healing, supporting better sleep

Yoga Nidra, often called “yogic sleep,” is a guided meditative rest that allows your body to fully relax while your mind gently drifts into a restful state. It’s especially restorative if you’re feeling depleted, anxious, or emotionally stretched.

Unlike sleep, this practice lets you stay consciously aware as your body enters a deeply relaxed, parasympathetic state. It’s an ideal reset for anyone navigating chronic stress—especially parents, carers, or professionals balancing intense emotional demands.

Benefits:

• Supports nervous system recovery and emotional processing
• May improve sleep and reduce anxiety
• Can be used any time you need deep mental and physical rest

Set aside 20 quiet minutes, lie down with a blanket, and press play. Let this practice bring you back to a place of peace and presence.
