About EcoNIDRA™
A nature-based transformational relaxation practice connecting humans with the rest of nature.
What is EcoNIDRA?
EcoNIDRA™ is a nature-based transformational relaxation practice. As a unique branch of the yoga nidra tree, it is where the ancient practice of yoga nidra (yogic sleep) meets the scientific-based healing techniques of Forest Therapy.
Born during the Covid-19 pandemic as a reminder of the vital importance of deep rest and nature connection.
Currently practiced worldwide by hundreds of certified teachers across the globe.
Focused on cultivating peaceful reconnection between humans and the rest of nature.
"At EcoNIDRA™, we believe that by learning how to relax the ecosystem of our body-mind and how to reconnect with (our inner) nature, we can heal not only ourselves, but also our relationship with the planet."
Our certified EcoNIDRA™ Teachers form a global community dedicated to spreading the power of deep nature connection, conscious resting and kindness, helping humans remember that they are an inseparable part of nature.
