7 days Yoga Nidra Teacher Training in India
Learning the art of self-relaxation and balancing body and mind.
Yoga Nidra is one of the greatest gifts yoga has given humanity. It’s an ancient practice rooted in yogic and tantric traditions, meant to relax the deepest layers of the body, mind, and soul. It’s a technique of Pratyahara, the fifth limb of Ashtanga Yoga, which means sense withdrawal. Yoga Nidra transforms you on subconscious and unconscious levels. The name combines ‘yoga’ meaning one-pointed awareness and ‘nidra’ meaning sleep. In Yoga Nidra, you appear asleep, but your consciousness works on a deeper level. It’s often called psychic sleep.
Scientific research shows 30 minutes of Yoga Nidra can equal two hours of regular sleep. EEGs and brain mapping reveal that Yoga Nidra produces synchronized and symmetrical alpha and delta waves. During this practice, contact with the subconscious and unconscious mind happens naturally, capable of transforming one’s nature.
You’ve heard of yogis who never sleep or sleep very little yet never tire. Their secret is Yoga Nidra. Ancient yogis and sages have used this technique for thousands of years to save time for spiritual practice and philanthropic work. Yoga Nidra is a complete meditation technique that can lead to Samadhi, enlightenment.

The practice of yoga nidra involves the total mind in learning.
During Yoga Nidra practice, often a Sankalpa (affirmation) is created and can be used to shape the mind and alter our approach to life. It is a way to connect with your inner spiritual self. It restores the body, mind, and all senses to their natural function. Thus, helping to reduce anxiety and insomnia.
Our lifestyle and tensions have a direct effect on our digestive system, creating different kinds of disorders and diseases. With the help of Yoga Nidra finding deep rest and inspiration, also the immune system gets a boost since it can finally regenerate itself in a time of relaxation.
Yoga Nidra slowly moves you toward the deeper realms of the mind where you confront deep-rooted emotional tensions. When you recognize these emotional tensions in full awareness with a witnessing point of view, repressed emotions are released and the practitioner becomes calm and tranquil.
Yoga Nidra is a union of science and spirituality, merging sharp awareness with deep relaxation. Which takes your brain to the alpha state and eventually the even deeper theta wave state. Here, without effort or strain, you can dive into your source of intuition, creativity, health, and abundance.
