Good to know that the modern commentary is not acceptable.

Dear Martin,

Muktibodhānanda's understanding of yoganidrā is indeed modern. For an analysis of earlier usages, see this blogpost by Jason Birch and Jacqueline Hargreaves. In short, yoganidrā in yogic texts usually means the state of samādhi, in which there is no conscious activity.

Yours, with best wishes,

Jim
