This Training

Yoga Nidra is a unique methodology based on the ancient anatomy of the koshas. Often described as a prolonged savasana, this meditation modality involves deep bodily rest and the opportunity to reset negative thought patterns in the brain.

Participants of this program will walk away with the tools to lead a yoga nidra practice that both honours its roots, and has relevance for our current lives. This program is about more than becoming a yoga nidra teacher, this is about equipping you with the know-how to rest and relieve stress. Yoga Nidra is an effective tool for new parents, caregivers, seasoned students and instructors alike. This program welcomes all levels of experience (including none!)

Join a legacy training that continues to evolve and grow. With hundreds of audiences from within Canada, the UK, Germany and the United States, this yoga nidra training program is refined, refreshed and ready to engage all types of learners. Your participation welcomes you into a growing community that meets monthly to practice and gathers to enhance our skills with nidra supplements.
