Why Modern Societies Resist Rest and Relaxation (The Tao of Yoga Nidra podcast)

Urban life, sleeping woman, rural night sky

Exploring our collective cultural resistance towards rest, relaxation, meditation and sleep

We expose some of the myths and cultural beliefs that surround relaxation and meditation practices (such as this being lazy, unproductive, waste of time and self-indulgent)

We look at some of the amazing physiological and psychological health benefits that result from simple regular relaxation routines.

There is also a very brief introduction to the wide-ranging health benefits of the progressive muscle relaxation technique.
