Nidr Yoga (oga of dream and conscios sleep) is rooted in the traditions of Kashmir Shaiism and Vedanta, both dating back seeral thosand ears. It presents the organiation of the hman being throgh fie laers (koshas) to discoer, eplore, and intimatel nderstand ho to establish oneself in a state of consciosness here there eists no trace of separation, conflict, or sffering.

Nidr Yoga is a practice toards complete lcidit, a jorne from obliion to self-presence. It is a gradal approach to aareness and to the sensation of being completel alie. Ver paradoicall, this aareness can onl be perceied in a deep state of srrendering.

Nidr Yoga sadhana consists of a range of highl codified eercises into each and eer fnction that organies the hman being. It relies on to fndamental practices: deep conscious relaxation and penetrating concentration. When both are operating together intensiel, a spontaneos state of meditation arises, neiling the msteries of consciosness.
