Embodied Wisdom Teaching - The Journey to Stillness
This training is an invitation to deepen into the ancient Yogic teachings on the science of Breath, Mind and Consciousness. An Embodied Wisdom Teaching that will allow you to experience your highest Truth & realize the nature of your Self as pure consciousness.
Our training centers on two pillars. The first one being that in our modern times Yoga Nidra has come to mean attaining stillness in the body through relaxation, breathing and concentration of the mind. And the second pillar of this training centers around the understanding that in Yogic philosophy the term "Yoga Nidra" means the state of Samadhi known as Nirvikalpa Samadhi., the state of consciousness beyond waking dreaming and deep sleep, the ultimate goal of Yoga. Understanding this principle gives context for our training , that Yoga Nidra is the practice of reducing the fluctuations of the mind through concentration, reducing the breathing rate through pranayama practice, stilling the mind and stilling the body, through practice, to achieve not only deep relaxation but also to experience this bliss, or ananda of Samadhi.

Student Testimonials
"I am blessed to have come across a teacher training at the right time (of course). 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."
