There exists a kind of yoga that is more about being held and delving deep into a meditative state, that can mimic that of sleep. Yoga Nidra is backed by science as one hour of this type of yoga can act as the equivalent of 8 hours of sleep for your body, mind and soul. Yoga Nidra can go as far as improving your heart rate, blood pressure, hormone levels, glucose levels, and more. It would only make sense that it would improve so many physiological symptoms as actual sleep does the same.
Grab blankets, bolsters, pillows, dim the lights and give yourself the gift of much needed rest. Enjoy this hour long Yoga Nidra meditation. Namaste.
