Yoga Nidra

A new edition of this acclaimed guide—updated with the most current, research-supported iRest^® practices and insights

One of the most enjoyable parts of a yoga class comes when we rest in shavāsana—the "corpse" pose—to realize restoration, a sense of effortless joy, and a glimpse into our true nature as unqualified presence. How is this so? This experience, explains Richard Miller, is a manifestation of yoga nidra, the meditative state of mind-body union at the heart of all yoga practice.

In this updated edition of Yoga Nidra, master teacher and psychologist Richard Miller invites us to experience iRest—the ancient tantric path of yoga nidra, refined for today's practitioners through ongoing psychology research.

With clear instruction, new insights into the deeper roots of well-being, and online audio practices, Miller guides us step-by-step to discover:

• Deep relaxation and stress relief in any situation
• Healing from trauma, depression, anxiety, and chronic pain
• More restful and rejuvenating sleep
• Awakening to the oneness of our true nature, and much more

Thousands worldwide have discovered the benefits of iRest in health centers, schools, community centers, yoga studios, correctional facilities, and military hospitals. Now, with this fully updated edition of Yoga Nidra, all of us have access to its many physical, emotional, and spiritual rewards.
