50HR Yoga Nidra Training

There comes a moment in every teacher’s journey when doing less becomes the deepest teaching of all.
This 50-hour Yoga Nidra training is an immersion into the stillpoint beneath action — a place where rest becomes revelation.

​

Over six days, you’ll learn to guide the ancient practice of Yoga Nidra with clarity, compassion, and creative expression.

You’ll leave not only with the tools to teach but with a renewed relationship to rest, presence, and the quiet wisdom of your own nervous system.

​

Why This Training?

The world is restless. Most of us live in survival mode, disconnected from our natural rhythms of restoration.

Yoga Nidra is the antidote — a gateway into effortless being, where healing happens without striving.

This training isn’t about memorising a script. It’s about understanding the architecture of rest: the physiology of the brain, the subtle body, and the psychology of surrender.

You’ll learn to hold space for others to return home to themselves — and to do the same for you.
