Yoga nidra, a Sanskrit term meaning yogic sleep is a deep relaxation technique and a form of meditation. Also called psychic sleep, yoga nidra is a state between sleeping and waking.

Performing yoga nidra involves practicing pratyahara (withdrawal of the senses), which is the fifth limb of Ashtanga yoga.
