FAQs

Here are our Frequently Asked Questions!

1. What exactly is Yoga Nidra, and why haven’t I heard of it before?
Think of it as conscious sleep — your body deeply rests while your brain gets a spa day. It’s a guided meditation backed by neuroscience, not fluff. You’ve probably felt burnt out; now you’ll feel balanced.

2. Do I have to do yoga poses or wear stretchy pants?
Not a single pose. No downward dogs, no leggings. Yoga Nidra is practiced lying down or seated. Your only job? Show up and let go.

3. How is Nidra By Ni different from other meditation apps or wellness classes?
Apps talk at you. I work with you. These are curated, live sessions built from traditional Indian roots — not algorithm-generated voiceovers. It’s a personal experience, not a podcast.

4. How long is a typical session?
Sessions run 25 to 45 minutes, just enough to reset your nervous system but not hijack your schedule. You’ll get more restoration in 30 minutes than from a 90-minute nap.

5. Can this really help with burnout, or is that just a buzzword?
It’s not hype — Yoga Nidra reduces cortisol (your stress hormone), calms the limbic system, and activates the parasympathetic nervous system. Translation? You feel calm, focused, and like yourself again.

❖ Corporate Wellness

6. Will my team actually use this, or will it be another ignored wellness perk?
They’ll use it, and love it. This isn’t “mandatory fun” — it’s optional relief they’ll thank you for. Expect better moods, clearer thinking, and fewer sighs during meetings.

7. What if we don’t have mats or a wellness room?
No problem. I specialize in chair-based sessions that work in conference rooms, break rooms, or right at their desks. No gear needed.

8. How does this fit into the workday?
Easily. Sessions are designed for pre-meeting focus, lunchtime resets, or end-of-day decompression. No time off required, no workflows interrupted.

9. Is it trauma-informed and inclusive?
Yes. As someone certified in traditional Yoga Nidra and trained in trauma sensitivity, I create a space that’s safe, welcoming, and accessible for every body and every mind.

10. Will it really help retention or just check a wellness box?
It helps people stay. Research shows stress-reduction programs increase employee satisfaction and retention. This is more than a box — it’s a bridge to a healthier culture.

❖ Medical Professional Wellness

11. We work long shifts — is this practical for hospital staff?
Absolutely. Yoga Nidra can be done during breaks, in staff rooms, even seated in scrubs. It’s silent, non-invasive, and effective without needing a change of clothes or pace.

12. Can this help with compassion fatigue?
Yes. Studies show Yoga Nidra increases emotional resilience and resets the overworked nervous system. Think of it as CPR for your mental bandwidth.

13. Do you understand healthcare stress, really?
Yes. While I’m not a nurse, I speak nervous system fluently. Yoga Nidra supports the exact systems that are constantly under pressure in care providers — decision fatigue, emotional overload, adrenal burnout.

14. What if our staff is skeptical?
They don’t have to believe in it — they just have to do it once. The science does the rest. Most leave one session saying, “Why haven’t we been doing this all along?”

15. Is this just for nurses and doctors?
Nope. It’s for the whole care team — techs, aides, janitorial staff, admin. Anyone stressed is welcome. If you show up for patients, I’ll show up for you.

❖ Educator Wellness

16. I’m a teacher — I barely have time to eat lunch. How is this even possible?
That’s the magic. Yoga Nidra takes less time than grading one essay and gives you more peace than a teacher workday with no kids.

17. Can this help with classroom stress or unruly kids?
Yes. It boosts your patience, restores your calm, and keeps your reaction time sharp (without caffeine or wine). Think of it as a nervous system reset between periods.

18. What if my school doesn’t offer it yet?
Start the conversation. Send my info to your admin, HR, or whoever controls wellness programs. I’ve helped other teachers bring it in — it’s easier than you think.

19. Do I need to prep anything for the session?
Just show up. I bring everything else. You don’t need mats, music, or mindfulness training. I handle the details so you can unplug.

20. Is this actually evidence-based or just woo-woo?
Very evidence-based. Yoga Nidra has been studied for improving memory, focus, and emotional regulation — all things teachers are bleeding out from right now. It’s not woo, it’s what works.

❖ Senior Wellness

21. Am I too old for Yoga Nidra?
Not at all. If you can sit or lie down and listen, you're the perfect age. Yoga Nidra isn’t about flexibility — it’s about restoring the mind and calming the nervous system.

22. I have limited mobility — can I still participate?
Yes. Every session is fully accessible. We adapt for wheelchairs, walkers, and recliners. No poses, no standing — just guided rest that your body will thank you for.

23. Will it help with sleep or memory?
Yes and yes. Studies show Yoga Nidra improves sleep quality, supports memory retention, and even helps balance hormones as we age. No pills required.

24. What if I fall asleep during the session?
Then your body probably needed it. Yoga Nidra works whether you’re fully awake or drift off — your brain still receives the benefits either way.

25. Is this religious or spiritual?
No. While it comes from ancient traditions, the practice itself is scientific and secular. You don’t have to chant, pray, or believe in anything — just breathe and receive.
