A beautiful relaxation experience led by Sri Swami Satchidananda. Yoga Nidra is a classical Yoga practice for de-stressing the body and mind that leads the practitioner toward the recognition of one's essence-nature. The practice enables you to let go of body-mind-ego identification and tap into a deep experience of eternal being, pure awareness, and unending joy (sat-chid-ananda in Sanskrit), which is one's true nature. We hope you enjoy this experience.

Sat, eternal truth; chid, pure consciousness; ananda, spontaneous joy. Mind the gap and you will be free! Satchidananda: that's the secret." ~Deepak Chopra
