This is a comprehensive, 30hr teacher training designed, specifically, to educate one with the skills, background, and understanding of the vast scope of yoga nidrā, including the realms of samkhya and non-dual philosophy, yoga psychology and modern science. This unique set of tools will help prepare one to effectively guide the practice in both private and group situations.This training is open to anyone, and highly encouraged for yoga teachers as a method for extending the reach of yoga into the psychological dimensions to promote greater peace, joy, and well-being in students. No prerequisite or prior certification is necessary, but experience with, and a current, regular self-practice in yoga nidrā is highly recommended.
Each full day will consist of lecture/discussion, moderate asana practices and yoga nidrā so dress in comfortable, loose, clothing.
Recommended:
If you plan to attend this training, begin now with a practice of yoga nidrā 2-3 times a week. If you’re inspired to journal your experiences and reflections, this will only create a stronger foundation for understanding and transmitting the practice to others. (Journaling is not meant for psychoanalysis of the content of your experiences, but merely to build a foundation for understanding the techniques, awareness of subtler, internal states, and for acquiring insight into how the practice may be experienced by others).
