## What is Yoga Nidra?

Yoga Nidra är en enkel, effektiv och behaglig form av avslappning/meditation utvecklad av den moderna yogamästaren Swami Satyananda Saraswati (1923-2009).
Yoga Nidra betyder ”yogisk sömn” och syftar på ett medvetandetillstånd där kropp och sinne befinner sig i djup vila, som i sömn, medan en del av vårt medvetande hela tiden är vaket och kan observera allt som sker i kroppen och sinnet. Fördelarna med att befinna sig i detta medvetandetillstånd är många:

*  Djupt liggande fysiska, mentala och emotionella spänningar frigörs 

*  Kropp och sinne får mycket effektiv vila och återhämtning 

*  Yoga Nidra reducerar de negativa effekterna av stress såsom hjärtproblem, högt 
blodtryck, sömnproblem etc. 

*  Effekterna av Yoga Nidra fortsätter även efter övningen och vi blir mer medvetna och 
avslappnade i vardagen, även i situationer som annars kan upplevas som stressande 

*  Vi kan i detta avslappnade och sömnliknande tillstånd lära oss att bevittna tankar, känslor 
och bilder som stiger upp ur vårt undermedvetna utan att identifiera oss med dessa, 
vilket ökar vår självkännedom 

 I den fullständiga versionen appen får du också möjlighet att omforma och utveckla din personlighet med hjälp av en ”Sankalpa”, ett beslut som planteras djupt i ditt undermedvetna och leder tankar, känslor och beteende i en bestämd riktning
Yoga Nidra är inspelad av Mattias Gopala Hagman, yoga- och meditationslärare, beteendevetare och ayurvedisk hälsorådgivare. Han startade Gävle Yogaskola 2001 och är affilierad till Satyananda Yoga Sverige samt International Yoga Fellowship Movement. Han håller regelbundna kurser och föredrag till allmänheten, företag och organisationer. Sedan 2006 är han även en av ledarna för den nationella yogalärarutbildningen inom Satyananda Yoga Sverige.
