Yoga Nidra is an ancient practice that holds immense potential for our well-being, yet it remains somewhat hidden in the shadows. Today, we’re fortunate to have Sandeep Manur, a seasoned yoga teacher, studio owner, and teacher trainer, back on the podcast to unravel the mysteries of Yoga Nidra.
Sandeep answers questions like what yoga nidra is and how it differs from Shavasana. We discuss the differences between the two, how yoga nidra affects the brain, and the incredible benefits of practicing it. We also cover topics such as how to set a Sankalpa, the various stages of yoga nidra, and how to determine if you are a beginner or an intermediate practitioner. Furthermore, we address questions such as when to switch levels and what happens if you fall asleep during the practice. We also explore the many layers of Nidra and unravel its mysteries.
Sandeep’s clarity and wisdom illuminate the path to a more profound understanding of Yoga Nidra. So, whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or a curious beginner, join us as we explore this transformative practice.
