YOGA NIDRA FOR ALL
3-month Himalayan tradition
immersive online course
In this highly unpredictable and unstable world, the place of peace within us all is
predictable and never changes. This state of peace, Turya, the Ground of
Being, the Source, whatever your preferred name for it, has always and
will always exist; it’s not unique to any religion, philosophy, culture
or yoga.
There have always been wise teachers who point us towards the transcendence of duality as our essential nature – unchanging, eternal, pure love. This course aims to share the vision of some of these artists and sages – musicians, yogis, philosophers, painters, mystics and saints – as they point us to our true nature through their sublime work.
Homage to the also to the Himalayan tradition practice of Yoga Nidra, which takes us to that place of boundless awareness, where “you” and “I” disappear. Possibly the most reliable method to bring you to the ground of being – like an accurate Satnav which guides us home without any unwanted detours.
Mystics, saints, yogis, poets, and artists have for centuries reflected on their inner journeys to the source; regardless of era, culture, faith, education, or external conditions they agree that silence and stillness are required.
