❧ Track 01: Gentle Relaxation (10:50) FREE!
This is a quick, safe, simple, effective practice for gentle relaxation and anytime reset. Preparation ➝ Bodyscan ➝ Externalisation. Safe for beginners, kids, and those with special needs. If you are a beginner, if you are experienced but short on time, if you are stressed, if you want to slip into relaxation effortlessly, if you want to get back into practice, if you want to build up to longer and deeper nidras, this is for you. You can even do this one sitting up!
❧ Track 02: Deep Relaxation (24:35) (In-app purchase)
This is a longer practice that takes you safely and systematically through eight stages to a state of deep relaxation. Friendly to beginners, kids, and those with special needs. If you want a thorough reset, if you want the full experience regularly, if you want to develop habitual relaxation, if you want to build up to longer and deeper nidras with full awareness, this is for you. If you want to build a practice, start with track 1 and then slowly add track 2, even at different times on the same day.
❧ Track 03: Deep Healing and Energising (31:28) (In-app purchase)
The longest practice, this takes you safely and systematically through eight traditional stages to a state of deep healing and energising. It visualises the seed syllables of the Sanskrit alphabet at the cakras, the psychic-energetic centres of the body — an authentic tantric practice called mātṛkā nyāsa, the original practice from which the rotation of consciousness in contemporary nidra is derived. You may use it regularly — after some practice with tracks 1 and 2 — to create deep healing and energising effects, for exploring the layers of the mind, and for your own spiritual work.
❧ CONTRAINDICATIONS
- Use at your discretion if you face severe clinical depression or other challenging mental health conditions. However, it may help relieve mild conditions.
- Do not use while driving or operating machinery. You may fall asleep.

Updated to remove a star as it more accurately described my experience. It is listed as a free app but its really just 1 free 10 minute very basic sample meditation. The 20 and 30 minute meditations cost money. As previously stated, still shopping for an app that offers more variety.
I love, love love this app. Her voice is amazing. Rating 4 instead of 5 because about 10 months into buying it, my paid version disappeared. Emailed for help, but no response. Update: Got a response and they went above and beyond on fixing the issues. Now just wish they would produce more tracks!
I love this app. I downloaded it after having a baby and needing to focus on myself once a day. I paid for the longer session and it's my favorite way to relax. I only wish I could fast forward or rewind as I have been interrupted during a session and couldn't restart where I wanted. Other than that, her voice is very soothing and I'm very happy with the app.
My go-to app for almost 3 years now. I have the premium subscription but every penny is worth it. Just one feedback, in the deep healing practice, a longer silent pause when listening to surrounding sounds would be very helpful. Thanks a lot!
Great for physical and mental relaxation / health. Love the ability to customize the background sounds. The app is simple to use and intuitive. Kudos to the developer and gratitude as practicing Yoga Nidra has been very important to me.
My favourite yoga nidra app. It gets me relaxed and out of my head everytime. I know I shouldn't but I use it to get to sleep and it works a treat if I wake up in the middle of the night too. On a handful of nights where I've been overthinking it takes 2 listens maximum and I'm asleep. Edited, 2nd Review, I would like to add that I emailed Kanya for support with the app and she was very prompt and helpful. It was an absolute pleasure dealing with her. Thank you Kanya, you are kind and generous.
I am interested in purchasing tracks two and three however the pricing is not clear. Does each track cost 4.95 or does that cost unlock both tracks? And also not transparent is how long the app is available. Is this a monthly or yearly fee?
This app is an incredible way to practice Yoga Nidra. The teacher has become really special to my wife and myself , after daily use for months. It is so humbling to be able to practice with such an experienced teacher without leaving the house, however the exercises are very, very powerful and you will travel far if you practice. Definitely pay for the longer practices, totally worth it
I've used other apps and usually they give more free tracks. This one only gave one and so I didn't think it was worth buying as an app. Also it appears there are only 3 tracks. The 10 minute session was ok, however, because there was no sankalpa, this is not authentic yoga nidra. I do not recommend this app. It needs more work done on it.
It's good. The lady's voice and accent are very soothing. Helps me fall asleep quickly and soundly and have fantastic dreams. I only wish that there were a way to skip ahead in the recordings, but there is not.
Purchased the wholeset after trying the app. Yoga Nidra is a wonderful way to meditate, and i find it relaxes me perfectly. I feel refreshed after a session. I also find the voice of the lady to be very calming and soothing. I love this app, and is one I use on a regular basis. Thank you.
Keeps stopping mid way through. Emailed developer but her suggestions didn't work. She said a new version will be out soon. Would recommend waiting on purchasing until then to avoid your personal time spent trying to fix this issue.
I'm really not enjoying this app and can't imagine listening to any of the tracks again after hearing them once. I wish I hadn't purchased the premium version as you barely get anything for your money.
Fantastic relaxation yoga! I love the gentle guide for a quick mid-day relaxation pick-me-up. The voice guides you through the practice and it's wonderful. Great app!
This is without a doubt, hands down the best app I have ever downloaded. Exponentially more than tai chi, Kundalini yoga, lifting weights or running marathons over the years it has brought me to a state of mind and baIance I never believed I could achieve in this lifetime. Thank you, I should have written a review years ago when I first downloaded it.
Relaxing guided meditations which really help to sooth the body and mind. I haven't done any kind of meditations before and this is perfect to lose yourself in .
Let's me move effortlessly out of my overcrowded head and into a deeply calm place. Even the short program is wonderfully effective. The voice is gentle and seems perfect for these exercises
Put together, various योगनिद्रा techniques have been implemented; particularly, this feature appealed very much to me; and awsome, Background audio options.
Great aid for rest and sleep! Update: Forgot to mention that I have referred several clients to this app, to aid them in overcoming sleep issues. I have heard positive feedback from them! Thank you!
I was gonna buy it then I saw the developer going off at a customer in the reviews because only one of the songs unlocked so no thanks. If that's how you deal with issues from customers I'm not giving you my payment info
This is the most relaxing yoga nidra I have ever done. I have trouble switching off usually, no problems with this program
Yesterday I paid to unlock the tracks, and did a meditation, however now its asking me to pay again and i am unable to do the meditation. I enjoyed the session yesterday yet I am dissapointed with this outcome.
Excellent, probably the best yoga nidra, practice I've tried & I've tried many. Keep me posted on any new material. This practice has been a blessing. Thank You so much
Had some trouble which has now been fixed with an update. Thank you so much, it is a brilliant meditation!
An excellent App for Yoga Nidra. Very focussed. Three options depending on ur mood and time.
Love this version of yoga nidra. Good pace. I like that the background sound,can be changed.
I purchased the ap for all 3 tracks but after listening once it won't let me in. Asks me to pay for it. I already did ☹
Very useful app. I use it often. How do you know if you have the latest version? How do you update to the latest version?
Very nice. Authentic. I wish the pacing of the sankalpa were slower...
Update: this has been my experience. I don't appreciate being called a liar. I have provided feedback to you via this review. I made an in app purchase and only one track is available. Update: this just is not true. It only unlocked one track. Be aware that each in-app purchase only unlocks one additional track. They don't seem to update the tracks so this app gets repetitive. I think there are better options available in the market.
