Dusk

Yoga nidra and deep rest. Lie down, press start, stay awake.
Full Nidra~25 min
The complete practice: resolve, rotation of awareness, breath counting, opposites, imagery, resolve again. Do this one when you have the time.
Short Nidra~15 min
The same arc, condensed. Resolve, a single-pass rotation, breath, one pair of opposites, resolve.
Deep Rest~20 min
The secular protocol. Long exhales, a slow body scan, open rest. No resolve, no Sanskrit — hand this one to anyone.
Quick Rest~10 min
The short version for the middle of a day. A few long exhales, a fast scan, two minutes of nothing.
Guided — spoken narration Silent — bells between phases

About

What this is

Yoga nidra is a lying-down practice from the Himalayan yoga traditions, systematized in the mid-twentieth century: you follow a spoken sequence — a resolve, a rotation of attention through the body, breath counting, pairs of opposite sensations, brief imagery — while staying on the edge of sleep without crossing it. "Deep rest" and "quick rest" are the secular version of the same territory, often called NSDR: no resolve, no tradition, a body scan and long exhales.

All narration here is original writing. The structure follows the published tradition; the words are this app's own.

What to expect

Deep relaxation is well documented; the grander claims sometimes attached to yoga nidra are not. Treat a session as high-quality rest and a training ground for staying aware while the body sleeps — not as a replacement for a night's sleep. If you fall asleep, that's fine. It usually means you needed it.

Practical notes: lie on your back on something firm, cover yourself — body temperature drops when you go this still — and use the guided mode until you know the sequence, then try silent.
