Yoga Nidra

by Priya Meditations › Sleep

15 minutes 7 Steps

  1. Settle

    60 seconds

    Let your body be completely still and feel it supported by the floor.

  2. Set a sankalpa

    60 seconds

    Choose a short, positive intention in the present tense, like I am at ease, and repeat it three times.

  3. Rotate through the body

    5 minutes

    Move your attention quickly from point to point: right thumb, each finger, palm, wrist, elbow, shoulder… then the left side, then the back, then the front.

  4. Breath awareness

    3 minutes

    Count your breaths backwards from 27, feeling your belly rise and fall.

  5. Opposite sensations

    2 minutes

    Feel your body becoming very heavy, sinking into the floor. Then very light, as if floating.

  6. Visualise

    2 minutes

    Picture a peaceful place in detail: its colours, sounds and temperature.

  7. Repeat your sankalpa

    60 seconds

    Repeat your intention three times, then slowly come back to the room.
