Are you looking to deepen your understanding of rest? Would you like to know how to facilitate Yoga Nidra classes? Have you been considering creating your own Yoga Nidra offerings, but are unsure where to start?
Find peace in a restless world. Yoga Nidra is currently sweeping the globe and is recognised as one of the ‘go-to’ practices for recovering from long-term fatigue. People use this practice to help fall asleep, heal chronic pain, and improve well-being. Scientific research shows us the efficacy of rest as the antidote for a restless world and a way to recover from stress, overwhelm, and burnout.
This 2-day event will support you to get started as a Yoga Nidra teacher, or help you go deeper with your teaching. Over the weekend you’ll learn:
What Is Yoga Nidra? - the history, tradition, and modern evolution of the practice
Hypnagogic state - Why resting between asleep and awake is powerful and the relationship between our conscious and subconscious
Making Intentions - How and why we make intentions at the start of each practice
The Kosha Model - Why Yoga Nidra has a universal approach to examining each layer of our human experience: the body, breath and energy system, emotions, mind, ego-self, and the bliss that lies beyond all of these
Working with opposites - understand this foundational tool both scientifically and experientially
Neuroscience - Relate this ancient practice to modern neuro-scientific discoveries, and know how to explain this and teach this in your classes and courses
Sleep Science - How Yoga Nidra relates to sleep and how to structure practices to enhance sleep
Consciousness - Explore what lies beyond the human experience and how to teach and create meaningful experiences of deep stillness and awakening to true nature through the lenses of science, dualistic, and non-dual philosophies
You will receive some of James’ own Yoga Nidra Scripts to help get you started along with an abridged digital version of the Deep Rest Yoga Nidra training manual.
Come and join us for this deep, thought-provoking, and insightful weekend. You don't need to be a teacher or teacher in training to attend this event. This might be ‘just for you’ and you’d be welcome if that’s the case.
James is recognised as a world-leading authority on the theory and practice of Yoga Nidra meditation and is the author of the internationally published best seller about Yoga Nidra/Rest; The Book Of Rest (2019, Harper Collins)
He has 20 years experience of Yoga Nidra and been teaching since 2005. He created his most recent organisation, Deep Rest, in 2022. The work of Deep Rest is founded on ancient traditions and backed by modern, research-based practices.
James travels the world, giving talks and facilitating training programs. Warm, invitational, and grounded in practical experience, he has a reputation for making his teachings relevant and accessible for modern-day living and shows how the healing benefits of taking time to slow down, stop, and rest can apply to us all.
