Relaxation, Meditation, Yoga Nidra

Technique 1: Long shavasana

Do this practice any time you feel the need to unwind and relax the whole body and mind.

For the purposes of yoga lifestyle, it is especially effective when done in the afternoon, after you have completed your work for the day.
In this way, you will get more energy to spend for creative purposes, with family etc. in the afternoon.

Avoid practising after meals - leave at least one hour in between.


Technique 2: Review of the Day (lying down)

This is an essential meditation practice for anyone wishing to improve their experience of life and the quality of their thoughts, emotions, behaviours, relationships, and general awareness.

Do this as the very last thing you do in the day. This practice has been recorded so that you can simply continue into sleep afterwards; feel free to practise in bed.


Technique 3: Kaya Sthairyam (body stillness)

An essential preparatory practice for meditation, both as a regular, “formal” practice, and as an introduction into the application of awareness in all daily activities.

Practise after your morning asana and pranayama session if time permits. If no time is available, practise whenever you can, once or twice a week.
