The practice of Yoga nidra is more than 2500 years old, first mentioned around 700 BCE. Approaches to Yoga Nidra vary according to different traditions and systems, including modern research into the nervous system. In this course, we will draw on several of these approaches to learn and practice a series of body, breath and awareness techniques that effortlessly guide you into a state of complete ease and non-doing.  

✨ What You’ll Learn:

  • Deep guided Yoga Nidra practices for different times of day and intentions

  • Ancient and modern approaches, including nervous system science

  • Practices for healing, insight, and meditative awareness

  • How to develop and guide your own Yoga Nidra sessions. There are different Yoga Nidra styles for different outcomes. It might surprise you to learn that not all Yoga Nidras are the same. And it's such an easy, effortless, peaceful practice. Everyone can do it. 

🌿 Benefits of Yoga Nidra:

  • Deep physical and mental relaxation

  • Improved sleep quality. Did you know …research shows that a single hour of YN is as productive as four hours of conventional sleep. With continued practice, many report that their conventional sleep improves, or if wakeful during the night, this is a great practice to help guide you back into sleep.

  • Emotional balance and resilience

  • Reduced stress and cortisol levels

  • Renewed creativity and inner clarity

  • A grounded entry into meditation practice

  • Pain management. Preliminary research studies suggest Yoga Nidra can help reduce chronic pain symptoms by modulating the nervous system and shifting attention away from pai
