An Introduction to Yoga Nidra: Care for the Five Subtle Bodies
with Lillian Lennox
About this Course
Introduction to Yoga Nidra: Care for the Five Subtle Bodies is an introductory course for all levels. Yoga Nidra is a process of meditative self-inquiry derived from the teachings of Yoga. Yoga comprises an array of techniques designed to bring about first-hand knowing of who and what you actually are when you are free of psychological, cultural, and philosophical conditioning. Yoga merges the human with the sacred and is practiced in the world, by embracing everything, just as it is, and by rejecting nothing.
About Yoga Nidra
Yoga Nidra is a yogic technique that helps you investigate all that you take yourself to be in body, sense, and mind. It prompts you to inquire: Am I my body? Am I my thoughts? Who am I? These inquiries reveal the changing nature of what you perceive as solid reality, but which is, in fact, constantly changing. It reveals to you that everything about the body, emotions, thoughts, and the world is constantly in flux.
Yoga Nidra also guides you to inquire into the “I” who is registering the fact that everything is changing - who is it that is witnessing this tableau of changing phenomena?
