Yoga Nidra’s Benefits

June 27, 2016 by Julie Lusk

yoga nidra's benefitsYoga nidra’s benefits are remarkable.  Yoga nidra means “yogic sleep.”  It’s a comprehensive meditative practice for going far beyond deep relaxation to a place of natural peace and quiet that is tremendously healing for the body, mind, and spirit.  Unique skills are developed for handling stress and tension in the short term and for the long run.  Yoga nidra feels extremely peaceful and is very refreshing.  It’s based on classical yoga and backed by contemporary science.

Here are some of yoga nidra’s benefits from Yoga Nidra for Complete Relaxation & Stress Relief  by Julie Lusk, pgs. 42-43, NHP 2015):

  • Activates the relaxation response and deactivates the stress response. This improves functioning of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems (ANS) and the endocrine system (glands and hormones).
  • Improves your overall health
    • Increases immunity and the ability to fight germs and infections (Kumar 2007)
    • Cellular rejuvenation and repair
    • Improves heart functioning by lowering blood pressure and cholesterol (Pandya and Kumar 2007)
    • Decreases pain
    • Improved control of fluctuating blood glucose and symptoms associated with diabetes (Amita et al. 2009)
    • Significant improvement of anxiety, depression and well-being was reported in patients with menstrual irregularities and having psychological problems (Rani et al. 2011)
    • Manages pre- and post-surgical conditions (Kumar, page 56)
  • Reduces insomnia and improves sleep
  • Increases energy, especially when needed most
  • Reduces worry and enhances clear thinking and problem solving
  • Improves and refreshes your outlook
  • Mood swings and emotional upsets are replaced with greater emotional understanding and stability
  • Intuition is developed and creativity increases
  • Improves meditation and enhances its benefits
  • Integrates, heals, and revitalizes your body, mind and spirit
  • Enhances your Self-awareness and ability to experience witness consciousness
  • Transforms thoughts and feelings of separation into a direct experience of wholeness.

Experience yoga nidra’s benefits for yourself.  Like most worthwhile things, regular practice yields the best results.  This book and audio set is everything you need to get started and will support your practice for years to come.

Success – You are enrolled in Hatha Yoga (Zoom)

 

♥  Welcome! Click here for the Zoom link needed to start class. This link is for you alone – please invite friends to register for themselves.

♥  The class link above will be emailed to you about 45 minutes prior to class time so it’s on top of the email heap. Look in your spam or promotions folder if you don’t see it.

♥  Use this Zoom Tutorial to get up to speed. If needed, download Zoom your app store now. It’s free & easy. The app has more features than using your browser to open the link.

♥ Please sign in by 6:45 pm if you are new to Zoom.  We will go over a few things like turning off & on audio, video, speaker & gallery view, etc. Here is a Tutorial on using Zoom

♥ Class starts at 7 pm on Tuesday. “Doors” close at 7:07 for security purposes. You will not be able to join if you’re late. You will still get the video after class. Each class recording is available for streaming and is valid for personal, non-commercial use for 14 days after the session happens.

♥ Use this link for yoga info and sequences.

♥ Zoom Etiquette

Before Class

  • Find a good place at home for your device (good Wi-Fi connection, etc.).
  • Charge up the batteries on your device.  Plug it in if possible.
  • Get your mat and yoga props ready.
  • Cut down on distractions by closing the door, etc.
  • Please arrive a few minutes early to sign in and say hello, just like a regular class. For security purposes, “Doors” close 5-10 minutes after start time and you will not be able to join in.

During Class

  • Use “Gallery” view if you want to see the others in class who have their ‘video’ turned on. This adds to the community feel. Once class starts, use ‘speaker’ view which just shows my screen. More about this at class.
  • Security measures are in place to keep us safe.

After class

  • Watch for an email with a link to watch class again. The link is valid until the next class meets.
  • Use this link to register for more classes.  It goes to a page to register and pay with either PayPal or a credit card.
