Yoga Nidra Training (for Yoga Teachers)

The art of relaxation and achieving a state of deeper awareness. Yoga Nidra (or Yogic sleep practice) means sleep with a trace of awareness. It is a state of mind between wakefulness and dream. During the practice of Nidra, our consciousness travels from one layer of consciousness to another.

The Yoga Nidra practice is a technique to awaken divine faculties. It consists of awakening and elevating Kundalini energy and observing the subtle layers of the body. Yoga Nidra takes you through layers of the mind that can be unconsciously locked, to reveal a higher state of awareness.
