The practice
What Is Yoga Nidra?
Yoga Nidra, often called yogic sleep, is a guided relaxation that takes you into a state between wakefulness and sleep. Your body rests deeply while your mind stays gently aware.
How a Yoga Nidra session works
You lie in savasana, comfortable and warm, and follow Julia’s voice through body awareness, breath awareness and visualisation. If your mind wanders, you simply return to the voice. There is nothing to do right.
Being guided by an experienced teacher keeps the session well paced and adapted to you, so you can let go without feeling overwhelmed. Many people describe 20 minutes of Yoga Nidra as feeling like a much longer rest.
Please note
Yoga Nidra is not a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. If you have a medical condition, speak with your doctor before you start.

Why people practise it
What People Look for in Yoga Nidra
- Stress relief: deep rest that helps the nervous system settle
- Winding down for sleep: an evening practice that helps many people switch off
- Emotional balance: a calm space to notice worries without getting caught up in them
- Focus: feeling clearer and more rested afterwards
These are common experiences, not promises of results. Everyone responds differently.
What the research says
Research on Yoga Nidra is still young and the studies are small. Two examples:
A 2023 pilot study in PLOS ONE followed healthy young men who were new to Yoga Nidra. After four weeks of practice, their sleep efficiency was higher and they woke less during the night, and they did better on some memory and learning tests.
A 2023 pilot randomised trial with 79 frontline healthcare workers compared 30-minute daily Yoga Nidra with relaxation to music over two weeks. Insomnia, anxiety and depression scores improved in the Yoga Nidra group, while the music group showed no clear change.
Made for you
A Personal Yoga Nidra Recording
A personal recording is a Yoga Nidra that Julia records for you. You tell her what you would like to work with, such as winding down after work, easing stress or preparing for sleep, and she shapes the practice around it. You can then use it as often as you like.
Price: 500 DKK, in English or German.
You can also have a personal recording made during a private yoga class.
I love Julia’s Yoga Nidra! I practised Julia’s Yoga Nidra session to calm down after work and before sleeping. It has helped me sleep deeper and I feel more rejuvenated in the mornings. For anyone in a high-pressure, demanding work environment like me, I highly recommend investing time for balancing your energy with Julia’s yoga practice.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Yoga Nidra?
Yoga Nidra is a guided deep relaxation practice done lying down. You follow the teacher’s voice through body awareness, breath awareness and visualisation, and you rest in a state between waking and sleeping while staying gently aware.
Can Yoga Nidra help me sleep better?
It may help you wind down before sleep. Yoga Nidra does not replace medical care, so speak with your doctor if you have ongoing sleep problems.
Do I need yoga or meditation experience?
No. You lie down comfortably and listen. There are no poses to learn and nothing to get right.
How long is a Yoga Nidra session?
A session usually lasts 20 to 40 minutes. Many people feel they have had a long rest after about 20 minutes.
What is the difference between Yoga Nidra and meditation?
Meditation is part of Yoga Nidra and so other limbs of the Ashtanga teachings like pranayama and pratyahara.
Is Yoga Nidra the same as sleeping?
No. The body rests, but you stay gently aware of the voice guiding you. If you fall asleep, that is fine: your body needed the rest.
How can I practise Yoga Nidra with Julia?
There are three ways: listen to Julia’s Yoga Nidra online on her online channel, have Yoga Nidra in a private yoga class in Copenhagen or online, or ask for a personal recording.
What is a personal Yoga Nidra recording and what does it cost?
It is a Yoga Nidra practice that Julia records for you, shaped around what you want to work with, such as winding down after work, stress or sleep. It costs 500 DKK and is available in English or German.
Can I practise Yoga Nidra in bed?
Yes. Many people practise in bed in the evening. You can also lie on a mat or a sofa. Make sure you are warm and comfortable, with nothing you need to do afterwards.
Is Yoga Nidra suitable for everyone?
Most people find it gentle. If you have a serious medical or mental health condition, or you are going through a difficult time, speak with your doctor or therapist before you start. Yoga Nidra is not a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.
