Yoga Nidra at Sammā — guided conscious rest

Yoga Nidra

A practice of guided conscious rest, between waking and sleep — where the voice of the practitioner gently leads attention through the body, allowing the nervous system to deeply recalibrate.

Yoga Nidra is an ancient practice of guided conscious rest, sometimes called the yoga of sleep. At Sammā, this practice offers a precise journey through the body, the breath and inner sensing — a state placed between waking and sleep where the nervous system can deeply recalibrate.

Lying still, the body relaxes layer by layer. The voice of the practitioner guides attention through subtle sensations and inner imagery. Long-held tensions soften, the mind grows quiet, and something held in the background of the day begins to release. Each session is an experience of profound rest and reintegration.

Inside a session

How a session unfolds.

Individual session 60 minutes.

  1. 01

    Welcoming & Intention

    Each session begins with a short exchange about your state of the day, your intention and any specific need you bring. The practitioner adjusts the journey accordingly — toward sleep, toward release, toward emotional regulation.

  2. 02

    Settling the Body

    Lying comfortably, supported by cushions and a blanket, you are guided through progressive relaxation. The breath slows, the body softens, the attention begins to turn inward.

  3. 03

    The Guided Journey

    The voice of the practitioner leads you through a precise sequence — body sensing, breath awareness, inner imagery — that invites the nervous system into a state of deep regulation. The mind enters the threshold between waking and sleep.

  4. 04

    Return & Integration

    A slow return brings you back to ordinary awareness. A quiet moment allows you to gather sensations and impressions. The practitioner may suggest a short personal practice to extend the benefits between sessions.
