Want an easy way to lead your yoga students through a profound experience of relaxation and meditation? If so, consider getting a yoga nidra script.
There are a few yoga nidra scripts available that you can simply buy and read (see farther down the page). Other web sites may give you pieces of a yoga nidra script that you can fit together.
The best resource I have found for writing a yoga nidra script is Swami Satyananda Saraswati’s book, Yoga Nidra. Swami Satyananda is responsible for rediscovering tantric meditation practices and distilling them into what we know now as yoga nidra.
In his book, Swami Satyananda covers the philosophy and practice of yoga nidra, talks about different experiments he conducted with the practice, the effects of yoga nidra on the mind and body, and also includes several yoga nidra scripts.
A Yoga Nidra Script You Can Download Now
If you’d like a yoga nidra script you can use immediately, I’ve prepared one for you.
This script is for Yoga Nidra: Touching Bliss, and is the same script I used for the mp3 yoga nidra download that’s available here on this site as well as on iTunes, CDBaby, and emusic.
What I did when writing this script was use the same basic format used by Swami Satyananda. But instead of using words and symbols that might be foreign to a Western audience, I made it very approachable for anyone, including complete beginners.
Once you download this yoga nidra script PDF, feel free to read it to your classes or clients. You could even host a yoga nidra workshop – start with a brief centering, then guide your group through some gentle yoga, then have them come into savasana for about 40-50 minutes while you read them the script.
You can also record yourself reading this script for your personal yoga nidra practice – there’s something very powerful about being guided through the practice by your own voice.
All I ask is that you don’t give or sell any of the recordings you make to others, and that you don’t make copies of the script and pass them out – I depend on the sales from the yoga nidra scripts and mp3 downloads I create to keep this site online and a roof over my head. Thanks for understanding!
The Yoga Nidra: Touching Bliss script is for a full-length practice, and includes all eight stages described by Swami Satyananda. There is a visualization. And, unlike many yoga nidra scripts and mp3s, there is also an introduction that explains what yoga nidra is, and a conclusion to help people integrate their experiences.
How much does it cost? Only $8.99.
You will need Adobe Reader or another program capable of reading a PDF (Portable Document Format) file.

Thank you for your purchase!
Wonderful, excellent transcript, thank you.
Thank you, Heidi! I’m glad you are enjoying the yoga nidra script. I checked out your site, enjoy your visit with the Dalai Lama! I visited him a number of years ago in Dharamsala. Amazing experience.
Can you direct me to the script file. I have not been able to locate it, and have purchased the audio. Thanks so much,
Brenda
I don’t understand how you can take an ancient concept and reword it and sell it and make money of it. Why can’t you offer it for free of cost, just like you learned it!
That’s the thing – I didn’t learn it free of cost. I also invested quite a bit of time in this. If you don’t want it, don’t buy it. Thank you for stopping by.
Namaste!
How long is the script..as in if read aloud, how long would be?
Thanks
Depending on how quickly you read it, it could be anywhere from 35 to 55 minutes.
We want our spiritual teachers and guides to be shining examples of abundance and prosperity! We want them to show us that abundance and prosperity are possible for everyone!
All teachings are an exchange of energy. Money is energy and we should gladly, willingly, and enthusiastically offer our teachers our money energy in exchange for the invaluable teachings that they offer us.
Blessings,
Mira
Agreed!
Thanks for providing the link, I was able to further find a link to listen to the sample audio. I had no idea at first what this script is and how it can be essential to yoga but now I can see how it can help in the relaxation process.
I just purchased the pdf script, however I have not received the download. Can you please send me the pdf or link to download. Thank you!
