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.
In this Yoga Nidra Teacher Training, you’ll learn to practice and guide others through Yoga Nidra. Upon completing the course, you’ll be ready to teach Yoga Nidra to individuals or groups.

Benefits Of Yoga Nidra
As you practice these techniques you will feel the flow of Prana move through physical, emotional, and energetic blockages.
The deep rest which one experiences within the Yoga Nidra Practice and the deep effect it has on negative emotions like fear, worries, and other tensions, influences the whole being in such a positive way that better sleep is a natural outcome of yoga Nidra practice.
The technique of Yoga Nidra can be used as an educational tool, where the knowledge is transmitted directly into the subconscious mind. The technique of Yoga Nidra helps increase learning and memory capacity. When it is used in education, both hemispheres of the brain are involved in learning the subject. 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.
Yoga Nidra is also a way to connect with your inner, spiritual self. It helps to restore the body, mind, and senses to their natural function, helping to awaken a subconscious awareness that allows you to feel Oneness, wholeness, tranquillity, and well-being of self, keeping a healthy mind, healthy body.

I am so grateful to have found this yoga school. I had a truly unforgettable experience there. From the moment you arrive you are looked after so well by Meera, Disha, Agni and Abhi. The teachers are so knowledgable and so kind. I cannot recommend this school enough. Thank you all at Diya yoga for helping me find my light.🤍 Sabrina Westermann2023-02-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a great time at diya yoga! Meera - the owner - is a caring warm person. I could come with every question or worries to her. Also after finishing the school. The schedule was interesting and I personally enjoyed most dishas deep knowledge about the human body and meeras philosophy classes, which supported me a lot in my personal growth besides yoga. The food is served in a restaurant nearby the beach where you can meet other travelers. It was very tasty and the accomodation fine as well. I had a single room. Also my group was amazing. 6 girls between 24 and 42. We really grew together in this time and some amazing friendships were made. Disha is also a reiki healer. We asked her if she can do a reiki new moon ceremony with us. It was absolutely lovely. She led us with meditation, journaling, candles, tarot cards, setting intentions for the year und a lot of reiki into a really balanced and happy state of mind. Thank you disha! And thank you all Meera, Agni, Disha and Abhi for all the knowledge I got and for your patience and warm support 😊 Daniela Krestel2022-12-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

This training changed my life. Meera, Disha and Agni were really a dream team of teachers. They complemented each other in the best way. They created a safe space to share and learn. I felt so much love during my entire stay. Meera was so helpful with everything. She made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. I gained so much knowledge during the course - about yoga, my body and my soul. I have brought some fantastic tools with me home that I feel inspired to share with others. It was truly an amazing experience. It’s difficult to explain in words how grateful I am that I found this fantastic school. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone!
