Most of the struggles people face—addiction, chronic pain, anxiety, destructive habits, even the inability to keep a daily practice—come from the subconscious mind. This is where identity lives, where habits form, and where willpower alone cannot reach.

Yoga Nidra is the direct access point.

When guided properly, Yoga Nidra induces the theta state—a scientifically measured brainwave state between waking and dreaming. In this state, the brain is highly plastic, meaning it is capable of rewiring itself. Here, we plant a Sankalpa—a clear, chosen message to the subconscious. Over time, this becomes our new baseline identity.

This is far beyond suggestion, hypnosis, or “positive thinking.” It is neurological reprogramming. Research confirms that regular Yoga Nidra practice:

Reverses addictive and compulsive behaviors
Reduces or removes chronic pain and supports recovery from long-term injury
Can erase chronic anxiety and depression through the nervous system
Improves memory, focus, and learning capacity
Strengthens the body’s healing response through deep rest and nervous system reset

At Sat Manav Yoga Ashram you will:

Learn the full structure of Yoga Nidra—why each step matters and how to do it correctly.
Receive personal guidance to craft your own Sankalpa (not a generic affirmation, but a precise statement aligned with your highest aim).
Practice daily morning and evening sessions in a pristine, focused environment—where consistency creates results.
Leave with your own Yoga Nidra practice, customized script, and the skill to continue at home for life.
