In this episode, Dr Vignesh Devraj guides us through the deeply restorative practice of Yoga Nidra, also known as yogic sleep. In a world where restlessness has become the norm and true relaxation feels out of reach, Yoga Nidra offers a powerful antidote.
Dr. Vignesh gently leads you into this ancient practice of conscious rest, allowing the body to enter a profound state of relaxation while the mind remains quietly aware, tapping into the healing potential of the space between wakefulness and sleep. You’ll experience how Yoga Nidra recalibrates the nervous system, accesses the subconscious, and promotes deep emotional and physical restoration.

BALANCE THE MIGHTY VATA - ONLINE COURSE NOW AVAILABLE
What makes Ayurveda unique in its treatment approach is its practical wisdom on the concept of Vata. Vata is responsible for Prana - the life energy, nervous system - the master panel of our body, and our emotions. In Ayurveda, it is mentioned that controlling Vata is the most difficult part of healing and recovery.
Recently I have recorded a workshop on - Balancing The Mighty Vata which has over 6 hrs of content, with notes filled with practical inputs that can be integrated into our life.
