Yes — yoga nidra is arguably the most beginner-friendly meditation practice that exists. No experience needed. No postures to learn. No concentration skills required. You literally just lie down and follow guidance. There’s no way to do it wrong. This is precisely why StillMind recommends it for people who have struggled with traditional seated meditation.
