Yoga Nidra is a state in which the body and the mind are completely relaxed, and the practitioner becomes systematically and more and more aware of the inner world by the verbal guidance of the yoga Nidra provider. This state of consciousness is different from most meditations, in which concentration on a single focus is required.
In Yoga Nidra, the practitioner remains in a state of light withdrawal of the 5 senses (pratyahara) and only hearing still connects to any instructions given without having physically get involved in the action.
With that said the goals of both yogic paths, yoga Nidra and meditation are a state of meditative consciousness called samadhi.
It is among the deepest possible states of relaxation while still maintaining full consciousness, that is what is achieved with yoga Nidra. In lucid dreaming, one is mainly, cognizant of the dream environment, and has little or no awareness of one’s actual environmental any given time throughout the practice, we can just fully be.
Yoga Nidra is virtually the secret portal to freedom, it’s been called yogic sleep. It works by taking us through different states of brainwaves very similar to those of sleep, in here our biology can easily disengage from our constant running thoughts. Accomplishing meditation happens when we achieve, disconnecting from our busy thoughts and become the silent observer.
For so many meditations is challenging, meditation becomes more about the effort of the technique, seating without moving, etc. and less about where meditation is to take us, a deeply relaxed state, to the field of all possibilities, where we reconnect with who we really are.
Yoga Nidra, or yogic sleep as it is commonly known, is an immensely powerful meditation technique, and one of the easiest yoga practices to develop and maintain. While the practitioner rests comfortably in savasana (corpse pose), this systematic meditation takes you through the Pancha Maya kosha (five layers of self), leaving you with a sense of wholeness.

Scientific evidence. Yoga Nidra meditation is associated with increased endogenous dopamine release in the ventral striatum of the brain. The reduced desire for action in the state is associated with the reduced flow of blood in parts of the brain connected with controlling actions, the prefrontal cortex, the cerebellum, and the subcortex.
Yoga Nidra improves heart rate variability, a measure of balance in the autonomic nervous system, whether or not it is preceded by a session of hatha yoga asanas.
It is a proven fact that consciousness is continuous. It is no period of sleep with zero brain activity that is considered. Our sleep consists of many different states of activity, proven by EEG observation. Including fast brainwaves can be detected in the hippocampus in deep sleep.
Sleep research has been an endless source of interest for scientists for centuries. They believe that specialized cells in the hypothalamus and brain stem cause the brain to transition towards Slow Wave Sleep.
Brain scans have proven higher brain activity in visual and auditory regions correlate with hallucinations. Higher brain activity as the hypothalamus and brain stem slows down, may explain the paradoxical states during the earliest stages of Yoga Nidra is many studies being done on the subject still.
The regular practice of yoga relaxation has been found to reduce tension and anxiety.
