Yoga Nidra by Swami Satyananda Saraswati

In this book, Swami Satyananda explains the theory of yoga nidra in both scientific and yogic terms.  The technique of Satyananda Yoga Nidra™ was developed by Swami Satyananda by adapting the traditional tantric practice of nyasa.  This book outlines the various applications of this technique which include stress management, enhancement of the learning process, harmonizing the deeper unconscious and awakening one’s inner potential.  There is a section which presents research that has been done on this powerful technique.  Also included in the book are class transcriptions of the practice, making it an excellent resource for yoga teachers, or practitioners wishing to develop their own practice. 

Tantric Meditations – Steps to Freedom CD with Swami Muktidharma

This is a very popular CD which contains two Satyananda Yoga Nidra™ practices recorded by Swami Muktidharma, as well as the meditation practice of Ajapajapa.  Swami Muktidharma’s guiding voice and the beautiful accompanying music recorded by Caitlin and Sika, takes you to a deep level of relaxation.  

The practice of Satyananda Yoga Nidra™ is perfect for revitalizing oneself after work, or for taking a break in the middle of the day.  It is also a good practice to do in the evening before going to bed as it has the effect of settling and calming the mind and body to help promote a relaxed night’s sleep. 

The book Yoga Nidra can be purchased for $25, or as a package with the Tantric Meditations – Steps to Freedom CD for $45.  If you would like to purchase the CD separately the cost is $30 (all prices quoted are in NZD).
