Yoga nidra and sound bath offer a rare experience of true rest, a guided 'yogic sleep' paired with the deep vibration of crystal bowls and gongs. At Lunita it's held in jungle-surrounded spaces, and can be experienced in the meditation shala or floating in the saltwater pool. Here's what to expect.

What yoga nidra is
Yoga nidra is a guided meditation that brings you into a state between wakefulness and sleep, you stay aware while body and mind enter profound relaxation. A facilitator leads you through breath awareness, body scans, and visualization, releasing physical tension and mental stress. A sound bath amplifies the rest, the vibrations deepening relaxation.
Two ways to experience it
In the meditation space: rest on mats in the open-air shala, the clean acoustics weaving vibration and stillness, ideal for a grounded, contained experience. In the pool: float in the shallow saltwater pool as sound waves move through you, water amplifying the vibration for a weightless, deeper release.
What it supports
Common benefits include profound relaxation, release of stress and tension, and support for restful sleep and clarity, a genuine resource for nervous-system rest. It pairs naturally with yoga, temazcal, and a personal retreat.
