50 Hrs – Yoga Nidra Teacher Training Certification

Course: The Art of Relaxation

What is Yoga Nidra?
Yoga Nidra is a practice to bring about a state of
consciousness that’s in between wakefulness and
sleep. The practice helps not only in inducing this
very useful and relaxing state but also helps in
lengthen this in-between state of consciousness.
This state of mind can be used for various beneficial
training. Yoga nidra is done by following verbal
instructions while staying still in Savasana or
sometimes in a seated asanas.
In this practice the body becomes completely relaxed,
and there is awareness of the subtle aspects of body
and beyond. This state of consciousness (yoga nidra)
is different from meditation in which concentration
on a single object is practiced. In Yoga nidra, the
practitioner remains in a state of spontaneous light
awareness and no focus what so ever. Yoga nidra is a
pre-practice to Meditation. It has different objectives
and works on different aspects as compared to
Meditation. Yoga nidra is a practice of the senses and
Meditation is a practice of the mental faculties.
Benefits of Yoga Nidra
Yoga Nidra is an ancient relaxation technique that
can help you release stress and tension from your
body & mind. It is also known as Yogic Sleep, and it
involves entering a state of deep conscious sleep
that allows you to purify the deep impressions or
Samskaras that drive your actions. Yoga Nidra can
not only help you relax, but it can also increase
focus and mental clarity, access more significant
potential in life, and conjure states of mind at will.
If you’re looking to improve your well-being and
find some peace of mind in the midst of the hectic
of modern life, then Yoga Nidra may be right for you.
