Is yoga nidra safe for everyone?

For most people, yoga nidra is very gentle and safe, since you are simply lying down and following guidance. That said, because it invites deep relaxation and inward attention, some people carrying trauma can find unstructured stillness activating rather than soothing. If that is you, shorter sessions, keeping the lights on, or practising with support can help, and it is worth checking in with a therapist. There is no pressure to go deeper than feels comfortable. StillMind keeps its nidra guidance steady and grounding, and you can stop or open your eyes at any time.
