Yoga Nidra Teacher Training

Yoga Nidra is a guided practice of deep relaxation, inner awareness, and conscious integration. Rooted in ancient yogic tradition and supported by modern science, this powerful technique systematically eases the three primary tensions we carry—muscular, mental, and emotional—creating space for healing, clarity, and renewal.

In this 20-hour training, you'll explore the full scope of Yoga Nidra as both a personal practice and a profound tool for holding space. Blending philosophy, neuroscience, and experiential learning, the training is designed to help you guide others with skill, presence, and care.

You’ll learn:

• The roots and evolution of Yoga Nidra
• The stages and structure of a complete practice
• The science of brainwave states, neuroplasticity, and rest
• The art of pacing, script writing, and sequencing
• How the practice supports memory, focus, and nervous system regulation
• The role of sankalpa (intention) and the subconscious mind
• How to create accessible, trauma-aware sessions
• Ways to integrate Yoga Nidra into your teaching, offerings, and personal rituals

As a deeply restorative practice, Yoga Nidra improves sleep, enhances memory and concentration, and cultivates a state of ease and receptivity. Whether you’re a yoga teacher, space holder, therapist, or simply curious, this training will expand your toolkit and your understanding of rest as a pathway to wholeness.

This training is held in the heart of New York City—one of the loudest, fastest places on earth. What a wild and beautiful thing it is to choose rest here. To practice stillness in the middle of it all. At a time when we’re constantly being pulled outward, this is an invitation to turn gently inward—to listen, soften, and remember.

You’ll leave with:

• A deep understanding of Yoga Nidra as both tradition and technique
• Original, ready-to-use scripts developed in training
• A certificate of completion (20 hours YA CEU eligible)
• A renewed relationship with rest, awareness, and your own inner landscape

No prior experience with Yoga Nidra is required—this training is open to all. Come deepen your presence, expand your practice, and learn to guide others toward stillness, spaciousness, and integration.
