How it works

Yoga nidra, a sankalpa, and the quiet.

Yoga nidra

A voice walks you through body and breath. The body sleeps; something in you stays awake.

Sankalpa

Your intention, said once as you settle and once more at the edge of sleep.

Quiet

The voice ends, the music stays a while, then fades, and the screen goes dark.

Early research, mostly in small studies. Ratri is rooted in yoga nidra, a traditional guided-relaxation practice. It isn't medical advice or a treatment for any condition.
