Yoga Nidra is also known as “yoga sleep.” It is a practice where one descends into a highly focused, relaxed state; you are awake, but experience lucid dreaming. The recording, which features the gentle narration of Soraya Saraswati and the subtle, mellifluous flute music of Terry Oldfield, offers three different levels of Yoga Nidra practice—10, 20, and 30 minute sessions. Saraswati’s voice is soft and caressing, with clear diction and a comforting lilt. Oldfield’s backing music is light enough that it in no way interferes with the session, but provides a quiet Asian-inspired backdrop to help you remain calm. Regular practice can be beneficial for dealing with stress and tension, overcoming anxiety and learning to live feeling joyful and free.
