What is Yoga Nidra?

"Transcending the Mind through Samadhi is Yoga Nidra." - AG Mohan

In its essence Yoga Nidra is a practice to expand our conscious awareness. Through systematic relaxation of the body, lengthening of the breath which both in turn create the conditions for stillness in the mind to arise naturally and effortlessly. It is effortless non-doing. Simply resting in present moment awareness.Yoga Nidra is a transformational practice that draws from rich diverse yogic practices such as gentle yoga postures, concentration, mindfulness and breathing practices as well as mantra & meditation which together form the fundamental approach to Yoga Nidra. These practices all focus on bringing the mind to stillness, through lengthening of the breath, slow movement which all work toward an inner focus. Yoga Nidra invites us to journey inward away from the influences of the external world. This process of Pratyahara or inward focus in turn has a supremely beneficial impact on the mind. It is deeply therapeutic and can therefore be used in a wide variety of therapeutic settings. It is recommended for Yoga Teachers, Body Workers, Therapists, Psychiatrists, and other Mental Health Professionals.

Course Outline

This training is created to be both a journey to experience deep relaxation and stillness in both body and mind as well as equip you to hold space and teach a Yoga Nidra session. This is a healing practice that will allow you to release long held trauma, release limiting beliefs and emotions. This course will teach you how to create a Yoga Nidra session according to your clients specific needs.

This training also delves deep into the original Yoga philosophy meaning of the term "Yoganidra" which in Sanskrit means the "sleep of yoga". This term refers to the transcendental state of Turiya which lies beyond the three states of human consciousness: waking state, dreaming state and deep sleep state of consciousness.

This training includes eleven guided Yoga Nidra meditations, as well as breathing practices, grounding, presence & mindfulness practices which will aid you into being fully present and aware in the present moment.

This training is a journey for you as the student to first understand the concepts of relaxation, breath, emotions and mind allowing you to first effectively bring yourself into this space of complete silence, stillness and non-doing and through your own inner embodied experience teach and hold space for your client bringing them into an aware and deeply relaxed state in every Yoga Nidra session you hold.

And the unfolding couldn't be more beautiful, more gentle, more mesmerising.....Yoga Nidra!, I have studied Yoga Nidra for the last 10 years through my beloved Swami Yogasagar, but never have I found a space and practice to call my own, beyond teaching. And here it finally is. Thank you Bettina and Hrydayam School of yoga for creating this training."
