Body Scan Meditation
About this Practice
Body scan systematically moves awareness through each part of the body, releasing held tension and cultivating interoceptive intelligence. It is particularly effective for practitioners dealing with chronic pain, anxiety, or disrupted sleep.
Key Benefits
- 30-minute session equivalent to 4 hours of deep sleep (Yoga Nidra research)
- Non-movement practice — suitable post-injury or during recovery
- Develops the witness consciousness fundamental to yoga philosophy
- Often practiced in Savasana at the close of an asana class
