Effects of Yoga Nidra on Stress, Anxiety, and Depression: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis
Overview
This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates the impact of Yoga Nidra on stress, anxiety, and depression by synthesizing data from 73 studies involving over 5,000 participants. The authors report significant reductions in these symptoms compared to both active and no comparators, though they caution that methodological limitations may inflate these estimates. This resource is intended for researchers and clinicians interested in the current evidence base for Yoga Nidra as a mental health intervention.
