The pairing Yin with Yoga Nidra is intentional ~ both invite the practitioner to explore their edge & request a healthy amount of surrender. The introspective Yin practice supports a potent Yoga Nidra journey and can be thought of as the energetic prep work to surrender to the most important asana of all: śavāsana, corpse pose.

With practice, we learn to pause, accept, respond, and act rather than resist, react, judge, or force. There is much freedom in this. Yin with Yoga Nidra is your time to first feel and then be—give yourself permission for both.

Yoga Nidra (conscious deep sleep) is both the system of relaxation techniques as well as an altered state of consciousness on the threshold of sleep. Deeply relaxing and restorative, this blissful practice fosters mental clarity and emotional equanimity.

Nidra means "sleep" but "Yoga Nidra" translates to "one-pointed or unified sleep": to rest at the edge of sleep after throwing off the mental and physical burdens. With practice, the body falls asleep while consciousness remains tethered to awareness to bear witness to the experience.
