Yoga Nidra at Sammā — guided conscious rest

Yoga Nidra

Conscious rest. Deep recovery. A mind at ease.

Guided conscious rest at the threshold between waking and sleep: where the nervous system can deeply recalibrate and long-held tension begins to release.

Yoga Nidra is an ancient practice of guided conscious rest, often called the yoga of sleep. It leads you into the threshold between waking and sleep, where the nervous system can deeply recalibrate.

Deeply rested. Fully awake.

Lying still, you are guided through the body, the breath, and subtle inner sensations. Research on similar states of non-sleep deep rest suggests they can lower stress hormones, slow brainwave activity, and shift the nervous system towards recovery.

Layer by layer, long-held tension softens, the mind grows quiet, and what you carry in the background of the day begins to release. It is especially suited to stress, poor sleep, fatigue, and nervous system overload. Each session offers profound rest and reintegration.

Inside a session

How a session unfolds.

Group Yoga Nidra sessions.

  1. 01

    Arrival & Settling

    The session begins with a short introduction to the practice and its intention. You are invited to lie down comfortably, supported by cushions and a blanket, allowing the body to fully settle.

  2. 02

    Relaxing the Body

    Through gentle guidance, attention is gradually brought through the body and breath. Muscular effort begins to soften, the breath becomes quieter and awareness turns inward.

  3. 03

    The Guided Journey

    The teacher leads the group through a structured Yoga Nidra practice using body awareness, breath, sensation and imagery. The practice invites a state of deep rest while maintaining a thread of awareness between waking and sleep.

  4. 04

    Return & Integration

    The session closes with a gradual return to ordinary awareness. A few quiet moments allow the effects of the practice to settle before gently returning to movement and the surrounding space.
