Yoga Nidra for Deep Rest and Deep Sleep (Spiritually Fit Yoga with Amelia Andaleon)

Welcome to Spiritually Fit Yoga with Amelia Andaleon! Lay down, make yourself comfortable, and let me guide you into a relaxing state of yoga nidra. This meditation can give you 30 minutes of deep rest or listen to it as you get into bed and invite a deep sleep.Yoga Nidra can lead you into a profound state of relaxation or sleep. 30 minutes of yoga nidra can be the equivalent of 2-4 hours of sleep. While it can mimic the effects of deep sleep, it is not a replacement for nightly sleep. Yoga Nidra is best used to supplement and improve the quality of your regular sleep.Thank you for tuning into my podcast! Let me know what your experience was of this yoga nidra session!
