Enter a profound state of inner awareness with this Classical Yoga Nidra practice—a 40-minute guided meditation rooted in the original teachings of Satyananda Saraswati.

Designed to gently carry you beyond everyday stressors and into the fertile soil of your subconscious, this deeply restorative journey invites you to soften, surrender, and realign with your truest self. Whether you’re winding down for sleep, navigating a stressful moment, or seeking a midday reset, this practice offers a powerful pause—one that nourishes your nervous system and reconnects you to presence.

Through a structured sequence known as antar mouna (inner silence), you'll be guided through:

• Full-body stillness & rotation of consciousness — systematically relax each part of the body, inviting pratyahara (withdrawal of the senses) and setting the stage for deep inner rest.
• Subtle breath awareness — track the flow of breath at the navel, chest, throat, and nostrils to activate the parasympathetic nervous system and anchor your awareness in the body’s innate intelligence.
• Sankalpa planting — plant a heart-aligned intention during a moment of heightened receptivity when the mind is calm and open to transformation.
• Symbolic image visualization — experience archetypal imagery designed to cleanse the subconscious and activate the imagination in service of healing.
• Completion & grounding — gently return to waking consciousness, integrating the stillness and insights gained.

This is more than just relaxation—it is a journey through the koshas (layers of being), offering physical restoration, emotional release, and a spacious awareness that lingers long after the practice ends.

Accessible to beginners yet potent for seasoned meditators, this Yoga Nidra session is a sanctuary you can return to again and again.
