Every once in awhile I come across a yoga teacher who just exemplifies yogic wisdom and embodies the practice. Indu Arora is one such teacher. She was introduced to yoga at the age of 4 in India and has made it her life's practice since. Today, she's authored yoga books, is a teacher that other yoga teachers go to and brings her wisdom to yoga & Ayurveda through many of her offerings.

We met in the Minneapolis Yoga conference a few years ago and I was instantly drawn to the 'only other Indian yoga teacher' on schedule. I just happened to attend her yoga nidra session. That's what we talk about today. All things yoga nidra.

Here are some of the episode highlights...

  • Indu's origin story\\xa0
  • What is yoga nidra? Is it different from shavasana?
  • Who is it for? Can children do yoga nidra?\\xa0
  • What are the benefits of yoga nidra?
  • The origins of the practice
  • What is the definition of rest?
  • What is sankalpa and how to choose one?
  • \\xa0How often to practice it? What is the best time of the day?
  • How to access the practice today? What are some credible sources?
  • Indu's new book\\xa0


Honestly, I wish I had another hour to interview her about Yoga Nidra! There's so much wisdom she packs into this. I've also linked to a free resource in the show notes for this episode where you can try yoga Nidra for free.\\xa0
