Yoga nidra, sometimes called yogic sleep, is a systematic relaxation process that helps release tension in the body and mind, and moves you into a state of deep relaxation. Yin is a style of yoga in which the postures are held for a long duration with some sensation and intensity. Yin yoga offers the practitioner more time in the pose to settle in and let go of tension.
