🧠 Your Brain on Yoga Nidra (this one’s worth reading)
Many of us feel that Yoga Nidra changes something deep.
Calmer sleep. Less mental noise. A calm nervous system.
But what’s actually happening in the brain?
This article breaks it down in a refreshingly grounded way; clear neuroscience meets lived experience.
Here’s a glimpse of what the research is pointing toward:
• Brain states that look nothing like “zoning out” and everything like restful awareness
• Why Yoga Nidra quiets mental looping instead of just distracting you from it
• How deep rest can influence stress chemistry, emotional regulation, and memory
• Why this practice is not the same as a nap, even though it may feel just as nourishing
What I love about sharing this is that it validates something many of us already know in our bodies:
Deep rest is an active re-patterning of the nervous system... through non-doing.
If you’re someone who likes understanding why a practice works, or you’ve ever struggled to explain Yoga Nidra to a skeptical mind, this is a beautiful bridge between science and experience.
After you read, I’m curious:
