Achieve greater calm, mindfulness and inner connection with yoga nidra
Yoga nidra is a body-based meditation and relaxation practice. In this country, yoga nidra is mainly regarded as a technique for deep relaxation.

In a society where burnout syndrome and stress-related illnesses are widespread, yoga nidra is becoming increasingly popular because the practice relaxes on a physical, mental and emotional level. Yoga nidra is practised lying down and does not require any physical fitness.
