Yoga Nidra Training
Course Aims
To examine Yoga Nidra practice and theory in depth, from both classical and
contemporary perspectives, providing a comprehensive foundation for
experiencing and teaching Yoga Nidra.
You will be required to
practice and investigate 3 different approaches, using scripts from
different schools/lineages in order to deepen your own practice and
understanding of some of the different styles available, both ancient
and modern. This immersion in the practice for 6 months
means you become the student as you surrender to Yoga Nidra. Not only
will you relax, regenerate and know yourself better, you'll be well
prepared to teach this amazing healing practice to others with
confidence, authority and grace.
The required hours of practice and theory guide you, whilst simultaneously preparing you to guide and teach others. Practicing, studying and comparing different approaches to Yoga Nidra leads to a deeper understanding and experience of both classical and contemporary methods.
On successful completion, you will be equipped to offer well-informed, safe teaching to yoga teachers, health care professionals, social workers, students - anyone interested in learning. You will also have gained greater insight into yourself and the extraordinary gifts of the ancient practice of Yoga Nidra.
