Poses suitable for Yoga Nidra practice:


 

 Yoga Nidra aims to completely relax body and mind. Before you start the practice, take some time to find what position is most comfortable and relaxing to you. Think that you will most likely engage in a body scan and so being twisted into a pretzel might result in trying to find where which limb is. Otherwise, make it your own. Comfort and ease rule in this practice.


Here are some suggestions of positions:


Laying on back:

Use rolled up blankets and pillows under knees and, if it feels good, under the ankles. See if you want a pillow or rolled up towel under your head to support it.


 

Laying on back with legs elevated:

 

Same as above, but you can put the legs onto a chair or small stool.


 

Laying on side:

 

Choose which side is best for you and see if you need a pillow under the top knee. Check if a pillow under the head is good for you.

 

 

Laying on stomach:

 

Lay on your stomach and use the arms to support your head. Check on tension in shoulders and neck. Consider you will be in this position for 30 minutes and check if your neck tenses over time.

 

 

Seated reclining:

 

Sit with the legs out in front of you and propped up with pillows. An arm chair with a leg rest can also do this.
