Yoga Nidra overview

This training is for teachers who desire to offer their students an opportunity to dive deep into their own healing through a systematic method of conscious relaxation. The beauty of this meditative practice is that it asks only that you set an intention, lie down in a comfortable position and listen, to find restoration, balance and deep rest.

When we offer Yoga Nidra we are in the precious role of guiding people on a personal journey of discovery wherein the recipient has the opportunity to tap into new sources of energy and insight. Learning to hold a space for others as they journey is key to an effective Yoga Nidra experience.

In this training, along with a discussion on how to create and hold that space, we will also cover:
