## What is IAM Yoga Nidra™?

I AM Yoga Nidra™ is composed of a series of body, breath and awareness techniques designed to remove mental and emotional disturbance and drop you into a profound state of restful awareness. The self-healing, self-balancing mechanism of the body awakens and vital energy flows freely—regenerating the body, and restoring balance to mind and emotions. The seeds of anxiety, fear, addictive habits and behaviors may be resolved at their root. As stress-producing conflicts fade away, inner harmony grows. You can progressively rest as the sky of Being beyond the clouds of mind. The Integrative Amrit Method of Yoga Nidra is energy-based. It is known for releasing the healing potential of the body and taking people into the most profound states of Yoga Nidra very quickly.

### 5/5 — If you can’t sleep or need a quick nap

*2025-10-16*

This is amazing ! I’ve had problem sleeping since I’m a child, and for few years in my 20s I relied on alcohol to fall asleep - but realized quality of rest was terrible - then I discovered white noise and it was very efficient and I could fall asleep much easier. Back then I used Pzizz that was a Mac application that would create an audio file, now they have an app and it works pretty well still - but sometimes I still can’t sleep.
Someone told me about this app and I didn’t like that there’s no white noise or isotonic sound, felt like it wouldn’t really work, but I’ve gave it a serious try finally this week as I’ve had a really hard time sleeping with white noise and wow !
Now I do wish there would be an option play a white noise at the end of the session as I use it to cover outside noise that would wake me up. 
But other than that it’s perfect !

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2025-05-30*

Amazing app! These yoga nidras are so deep and rich. I love that there are multiple ones to choose from. They have really helped me in healing from trauma and stabilizing my nervous system.

### 5/5 — Surprisingly effective

*2024-07-02*

I’m not new to meditation but I am new to yoga nidra. I found this app after attending a workshop by Kamini’s father and looking for more information. The description of yoga nidra sounds promising, but is actually an understatement of how effective it is. A friend I recommended this app to actually thanked me for sharing this with him. How often does that happen? Also the cueing is perfect. Another review says no, but it is literally the best cueing of any type I ever heard. There are no wasted words or silences. So glad I found this.

### 5/5 — Worth it

*2024-05-25, version 1.3.0*

Brilliant app 
I’ve had it for over a year. I always get a good deep and restorative sleep. Even if I do wake up early I feel well rested so I can get in with my day without tiredness and stress. If I wake in the idle of the night I go through it again and straight back to sleep. I very rarely get through the whole meditation unless my mind is particularly busy and negative. But I tend to journal when I notice that and then go back to the app. It’s brilliant. And the others are very good too!

### 5/5 — Incredible app

*2024-04-02*

This app is a gift to humanity. Such beautiful scripts for such a generous price. I can’t enforce this app enough. It’s great for grounding or SOS. 🙏

### 5/5 — I love this app

*2023-12-30, version 1.3.0*

When ever I’m having trouble falling asleep I put on one of the meditations. Before discovering this I used to take a couple of hours to fall asleep but often I’m asleep or very relaxed and feeling positive after any of the meditations.

### 2/5 — Telling me to be calm

*2023-12-12, version 1.3.0*

I’m no yogi but constantly telling me that I can now ‘fell calm’ or ‘be at peace..’ doesn’t work. Very little on breath work or anything constructive to a bringing you out of negative thoughts. Very basic and middle of the road meditation.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2023-11-18*

Meditation is needed in life. Instead of coupe in with vices , Meditation can alleviate those scenarios . I’ve used this app for 3 months and it’s perfect for anyone . I totally recommend it !!

### 5/5 — Profound results

*2023-09-01*

I purcahsed this app a year ago and have done the protocol daily — not out of discipline but because the results are so rewarding. There are free versions of Yoga Nidra on Youtube, but they are cheesy and not nearly as restful. This is gold standard. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

### 4/5 — Wonderful

*2023-07-26, version 1.3.0*

Very good! It would be great if the Devs could add integration with Apple Health so that the app would log mindful minutes.
