Yoga nidra meditation is a well-researched meditative relaxation initially developed by the
Bihar School of Yoga in India and now rapidly spreading across the West --as part of both
yoga wellness and veterans’ PTSD treatment. It incorporates guided relaxation with an
empowering intention, visualizations, breath awareness, counting backwards, chakra
sensitization, etc.,. Yoga nidra is known to promote deep relaxation in the alpha-theta brain
wave states, decrease stress, and also increase calmness, equipoise and cognition. In
advanced yoga nidra, sacred chakra sounds (bija mantras) and sacred geometry (yantra)
visualizations of the chakras are also interwoven with moving imagery of light and breath.
Examples from brain-meditation research will be shared, along with tips for practice and
teaching.
Sreedevi also offers a certification program in yoga nidra with training, coaching
