Yoga nidra has been experienced as "the" most powerful relaxation technique known to man. Yet, in yoga, it is used much more than that.
Yoga-nidra or "yogi sleep" is a sleep-like state which yogis report to experience during their meditations.
Yoga Nidra seems to have the answer. Although it finds mention in old tantric texts, it was rediscovered 20-odd years ago by Swami Satyananda Saraswati, founder of the Bihar School of Yoga (BSY) in Munger, eastern India.
From Abhyantara to Yoga nidra, we are trying to cover all yoga related terminology. Please send us your suggestions.

Day break 2: Yoga nidra
When your alarm sounds, sit on the side of your bed. "Become extremely aware of your body, the room, and what's going on around you," says Kellye Davis, author of The Bliss Principle: 5 Easy Ways to Reduce Stress.
In Yoga Nidra this is known as Sankalpa or resolve. This should NOT be an affirmation, ex. “I will quit smoking in 6 mos” or “I am going to eat better”, these are statements of will.
Right from the beginning, classes include pranayama, and a Tantric technique of Yoga Nidra which systematically relaxes the body and the mind, and eventually helps our consciousness to move beyond the mind.

Shava Asana means the posture of a dead body. Also called 'Yoga Nidra' or Yogic method of sleep. It is one of the most valued and highly desired asanas of the yoga system. This asana necessitates the relaxed condition of both the body and the mind.
This sounds very similar to the rotation of awareness in yoga nidra. My students love it. It is helpful at night when one awakens and needs to relax. I fall back asleep before I'm done. A tool can have more than one use.
I teach yoga for insomnia and have had many students benefit from the poses and meditations. yoga nidra is also great for insomnia.
