Description

What makes Yoga Nidra such a powerful technique, and how does a Sankalpa work? By the end of this episode, you will understand why Yoga Nidra is more than just relaxation—it is a doorway to your inner self. I would like to thank my teacher, Gyanmitra Saraswati, and the teachings of Swami Satyananda Saraswati, from whom I have learned most of my techniques. If you want to learn more about the teachings of the Bihar School of Yoga, I highly recommend reading the book Yoga Nidra by Swami Satyananda Saraswati.
