Alexis Nicholson+FollowYoga Nidra: The 11-Minute Stress HackTurns out, you don’t need to be a meditation guru to chill out your stress hormones. A new study found that just 11 minutes of yoga nidra (aka “yogic sleep”) a day can actually lower stress, anxiety, and even depression—plus it helps balance your cortisol (the stress hormone). If you can spare 30 minutes, you might get an extra boost in mindfulness and an even calmer morning. Basically, a quick daily meditation could be your secret weapon for a better mood and less stress! #Fitness #YogaNidra #StressRelief20Share
JazzyJaguar+FollowMy Surprising Trick for Deep RestEver wake up tired even after a full night’s sleep? That was me—until I stumbled on Yoga Nidra. It’s like a power nap for your mind, but you stay awake (mostly). Here’s what actually works for me: 💡 Find a soothing guided Yoga Nidra recording—YouTube has tons. I go for voices that feel calming, not distracting. ✅ Get comfy! I use a thick mat, cozy blanket, and wear loose clothes. Comfort is everything here. 🔔 Set the mood: dim lights, maybe a candle or a bit of lavender oil. The vibe really helps me relax deeper. ⚠️ Don’t stress about total silence. Just make it as quiet as you can, then let the recording guide you. Give it a shot—15 minutes can feel like hours of real rest! #YogaNidra #RestHack #MindfulLiving #Health #Wellness42Share
