Yoga nidra guides the body into deep stillness while the mind stays quietly awake, riding the threshold between waking and sleep. Here's what the practice actually involves, where it came from, and what the research supports.
What heart rate variability studies, cortisol research, and vagus nerve science actually show about yoga's effect on stress, and where the evidence is still thin.
Kundalini Yoga pairs rapid breath, repetitive kriyas, and mantra to work with what tradition calls rising energy. Here's its real history, what a class involves, and what to honestly expect.
