Ishwara Yoga

Yoga Nidra is a guided relaxation practice of about one hour for beginners to one and a half hours. It can be practiced by all ages including the elderly. Practice is done in Savasana i.e. lying down.

Yoga-nidra or "yogi sleep" is a sleep-like state which yogis report to experience during their meditations.
The practice of yoga relaxation[clarification needed] has been found to reduce tension and anxiety. The autonomic symptoms of high anxiety such as headache, giddiness, chest pain, palpitations, sweating, abdominal pain respond well. It has been used to help soldiers from war cope with PTSD.
Yoga nidra refers to the conscious awareness of the deep sleep state, referred to as "prajna" in Mandukya Upanishad.

Ishwara sometimes incoorporates Yoga Nidra into the end of Workshops, into Yoga retreats usually in the afternoon and there will be a Workshop specifically focused on relaxation techniques in 2012.

Ishwara is currently looking into setting up a weekly Yoga Nidra session somewhere in south lakes.
