So relaxing
Wonderful! I use this all the time. So incredibly relaxing. I’d give it an extra star if I could! Highly recommended for times of physical or psychological stress.

Great App
Simple to use and does what it says on the tin. I use it every day to meditate.
2018-07-02
Love using this app!
Easy to use and a great tool for relaxation.
2018-06-17
Perfectly simple
This app is worth the reasonable price as you can trawl through free stuff forever and never find this quality. It’s not too fluffy or wordy. It’s simple yet very deep. Delighted
2018-04-16
Wonderful
This practice is a rare gem. It can support lucid dreaming, it can substitute hours of sleep, and it can heighten your awareness to boost personal development in all areas. And it really, really relaxes. Try and see, only do stay awake! The app didn’t invent the idea of course- this ‘technology’ has been around quite a while! But the guidance is sweet and simple and is put together nicely with easy options for 10, 20 and 30 min sessions so you can tailor it both to your skill at staying awake and time available. Personally I try to mix up yoga nidra with audio guidance from other places, just because a fresh voice can help prevent falling asleep and that’s the central challenge in this practice.

Great app
This is a very simple app with three choices as to length of session. It’s great, the man has a lovely, and calm, voice that guides you through the session confidently. I also use other online Yoga Nidra sessions, to ring the changes a little, but keep coming back to this one
2018-03-02
Nothing to this app
This app is just music. There is nothing about guiding through different nidra positions. There is nothing in this app over and above Yoga nidra videos you can get for free on YouTube. Total waste of money and can only suggest that the other reviews of this app are fake.
2018-02-21
Great
I tried the free version first then quickly bought the full version, great value. I love the background noise of rain you can use. Fab whenever but also as a method to go to sleep. The voice is pleasant and not intrusive, all good.
2018-01-04
Love it
I suffer with fibromyalgia and CFS this app has helped me gain some control over my pain levels and help my muscles relax. I would highly recommend it

Effective deep relaxation
This is the best app for deep relaxation. I truly believe that a session is equivalent to a long deep sleep.

Yoga nidra
Just wonderful.
Has helped me to deal with hypertension without pills!

Yoga for the stressed
Really effective app, feel fantastic if I'm carrying out the practice and wake up fresh in the morning though don't always manage to get through the whole 30 minutes without falling to sleep!
His voice is really easy to listen to and having the same format for the 10,20 or 30 minute practice works really well, with increasing detail in the longer sessions. This enables you to start small with an effective outcome and move to the half an hour where you can be more immersed.

Brilliant App!
I've used this for over a year now and think it's fab! It's flexible so you can pick a 10, 20 or 30 minute session and really focuses you in. He has a very soft gentle voice. I always feel relaxed afterwards. Highly recommend!
2015-10-16
Beautiful
This is a really lovely yoga nidra. So soothing and calming and never fails to help me feel relaxed.
2014-10-16
Very good
I use this app a lot. Great guided meditation/body scan . Imagery used is very relaxing and empowering. The guides voice feels just perfect . Would highly recommend.
2014-09-08
Great app!
I have found this to be a great app! The price is great and I have used it consistently for about six months.
As part of a relaxation practice , this app has helped me to be able to fall asleep more easily at night. I have used it during lunch time laid on my office floor and found it has recharged my batteries, it has also helped remind me what I am here on the planet to do.
As part of a meditation practice, I have found that using this app twice a day has reinforced my mission, has helped me to see my defences and delusions and allowed me to make wiser decisions of a more compassionate nature.
I think this app would help anyone who is over busy with lots going on in their head, anyone who has a lot of time on their hands and would like to learn something new, mothers who need a little me time. I have found shouting "just doing yoga nidra" and the little voices just vanish! Amazing! Also dogs who like a bit of lie on the floor time with their person and cats who like to watch what the humans do also benefit from that bit of special time with their favourite relaxed human.
Enjoy this app and enjoy the benefits in your life!

Perfect! So relaxing.
I downloaded a whole host of relaxation apps when I was going through a stressful time at work. This is by far and away my favourite. Although the gong and the singing can by slightly off putting when you first open the app, don't worry! During the yoga nidra there's just a nice relaxing voice and the sound of rain.
I downloaded this about five months ago and I am still using this at bedtime. Great app!
2013-07-09
Excellent app
Unfussy app - doesn't try to do too much but has a good combination of lengths of time, and options for background noise. A real staple.
2013-01-22
Best relaxation/meditation app I've tried...
This one is simple and effective. If you prefer an app that just talks you through relaxation and mindfulness, without lots of "you are a wonderful unique person who can achieve anything" stuff over the top this is perfect. Plus the 'paid for' option offers three session lengths and sound options, which I found was plenty... Also, I found the voice used very soothing - it may seem obvious but some have terrible voice options...
2013-01-03
Good
Clear unpretentious and effective . Well worth it.
2012-12-18
So good!
I downloaded the free app and it was great but getting the full version is worth the small amount of money for the relaxation that it can bring you. If you want to learn to relax then is a great place to start, if you already can relax then this is just another beautiful way to achieve it.
Enjoy.

Zzzzzz
This is astonishing, I've never heard the end as I always fall asleep. So, great to nod off to but breaking every rule of yoga nidra because you are supposed to remain awake but relaxed!
2012-09-25
Excellent
I've been really struggling to get to sleep and this has helped enormously. I feel more relaxed after doing it, even the ten minute one, than I thought was possible.
2012-09-20
Perfect
Perfect, really works! Asleep minutes after the session :)
2012-09-03
Perfect
Love it. First time I tried it I was asleep before the 10 minutes was up! Now I can listen and relax and only occasionally fall asleep.
2012-05-28
Excellent App
Madhav's voice is pure, soothing and unpretentious. The nature sounds are unobtrusive and realistic. Yoga Nidra is a wonderful practice. I like the option of a 10, 20 or 30 minute session. Would like some more background information and guidance on creating an effective sankalpa. Highly recommended app.
2012-04-26
Use this app every night
I love it! Puts me to sleep every time! Wish there wasn't a gong at the end of the practice.
2012-04-21
So glad I found this app
I used to practise yoga nidra in Sweden years ago. It really help me with sleeping difficulties and made me more aware and how to deal with inner stress. It's the best thing I have ever learnt.
2012-03-31
Great find!
Perfect to relax and recharge
2012-03-25
Bliss
I practice Yoga Nidra on a daily basis and this script is one of my favourites.
2012-03-12
The real thing
This is a beautiful pukka version of yoga nidra. With or without nature sounds.

Yoga Nidra
Amazing

Calms the mind
The guys voice is great, not at annoying which is unusual for this kind of thing. Very relaxing, I usually use it after a yoga practice and it is calming and restful.
