In today’s fast-paced, technology-driven world, even children are not immune to stress and anxiety. Yoga Nidra, a highly effective relaxation technique, provides a haven of tranquility, making it an ideal practice for children. This article will present the benefits of Yoga Nidra for children and provide guidance on how to integrate it into their daily routine.
Yoga Nidra, often referred to as “yogic sleep” or “conscious sleep,” is a state of conscious relaxation that lies between wakefulness and sleep. Unlike traditional yoga practices that focus on physical postures, Yoga Nidra guides children through an inner journey, creating a deep sense of relaxation within.
