ABSTRACT

Yoga nidra is an ancient technique that gives a profound relaxation equal to sleep while being awake. Stressful thinking patterns have an impact on one's health and quality of life. Yoga nidra is a yogic relaxation method that is a form of pratyahara that aids in the induction of the relaxation response. Yoga nidra is a method that takes a person out of a fight-or-flight state and activates the relaxation response, also known as the parasympathetic nervous system. An person enters delta brain waves while doing yoga nidra. This is the most restorative and restful state in which the organs recover and the body metabolises the stress chemicals corticoids. Yoga nidra boosts the body's endogenous dopamine release by 65 percent. It is an important antidepressant and motivation booster. As a result, yoga nidra has a preventative, promotive, and therapeutic effect on stress and stress-related diseases.
