As a therapeutic tool, numerous medical studies have demonstrated that Yoga Nidra has both curative and preventative effects on a variety of conditions, such as stress, anxiety, frustration, insomnia, high blood pressure, PTSD, and their associated consequences.

With over 30 years of experience, Matsyendra has a wealth of knowledge in practicing and teaching Yoga Nidra. He learned the practice directly while living for over a decade in the ashram of Swami Janakananda, the oldest living disciple of Swami Satyananda who formalised the practice in the early 1960s.
