Navigating the Spring Time Change Like a Pro With Yoga Nidra
Ah, springtime. A time for birds chirping, flowers blooming… and a complete disruption to your sleep schedule when the clocks move ahead an hour. If you’re like most people, you may find yourself feeling tired and grumpy during this time of year as your body adjusts to the new time change. But fear not—Yoga Nidra is here to save the day! Yoga Nidra is an ancient practice that combines yoga, meditation, and deep relaxation. It’s been used for centuries to help reduce stress and cultivate inner peace—and it can also help you adjust to the spring time change with ease!

What Is Yoga Nidra?
Yoga Nidra (or “yogic sleep”) is an ancient practice that aims to bring balance between body and mind. It is believed that yoga nidra can help restore physical health as well as provide mental clarity and emotional peace. Unlike regular sleep, which requires unconsciousness in order to be effective, yoga nidra is practiced while conscious or semi-conscious using specific breathing techniques and guided imagery. This makes it perfect for times when you need extra rest but don’t have the luxury of taking a nap or sleeping in late.
How Can It Help You During the Spring Time Change?
When we experience sudden changes in daylight hours (such as with Daylight Saving Time), our bodies are forced to adjust quickly. This can lead to feeling sluggish and fatigued during the day because we are not getting enough restful sleep at night. Practicing yoga nidra on a regular basis can help us adjust more quickly by helping us relax deeply and restore our energy levels naturally. The guided imagery used during yoga nidra helps us focus on calming images rather than worrying thoughts so we can drift off into peaceful slumber even if our internal clock is out of sync with external clocks!
The spring time change doesn’t have to be dreaded every year – instead, it can be seen as an opportunity to practice self-care through yoga nidra! During this transitional period, take some time for yourself each day by practicing yoga nidra before bed or whenever your energy levels start flagging during the day. With regular practice, you will soon find yourself adjusting more easily each year! Happy transitioning!
The Deep Center Online Studio has a Yoga Nidra Collection so you can keep your practice going even after the time change has past.
