I’ll be honest with you—when I first heard about Yoga Nidra for deep spinal release, I was skeptical. It sounded like one of those wellness trends that everyone jumps on, but I was desperate. After years of battling lower back tension and trying every stretch, massage, and ergonomic chair known to mankind, I figured—why not…
