(15hrs online course)

November 2-3, 2024

The Yoga Alliance accredited teacher training course offers participants an introduction to Yoga Nidra. The fifteen-hour course will include elements of both theory and practice. Yoga Nidra is actually a complete meditation technique in itself. Yoga Nidra is the hallmark of the Satyananda Bihar school of yoga and this course follows its methodology.

INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE:

Yoga Nidra is a conscious state between wakefulness and sleep, enabling deep relaxation. It is an ancient yogic and tantric practice of conscious relaxation of the body, mind and soul. This is also a technique of Pratyahara (withdrawal of the senses). The term definition of Yoga Nidra refers to two stages of practice: one-pointed awareness and sleep. In yoga nidra, it appears that we are asleep, but awareness is still functioning at a deeper level of awareness. That is why it is also often called psychic sleep or “yogic sleep”. Practice gives us the tools to gain a deeper understanding of ourselves as complex, sometimes conflicted, multidimensional beings. Dominik will guide you through the philosophy and science behind this fascinating practice.

Benefits of Yoga Nidra:
