YOGA NIDRA TEACHER TRAINING COURSE

 

In recent times, the Yoga Nidra teacher training course has gained immense popularity. Today people are always connected, accessible and deeply stressed. The mind gets dispersed and we scatter our energy over different topics. Because of that our nervous system is constantly under pressure as our minds are filled with many thoughts at any given time. Yoga Nidra is an effective and efficient way to activate the parasympathetic part of our autonomous nervous system. As a result, deep recuperation and healing happen. This training is designed for both dedicated teachers and sincere seekers who wish to experience Yoga Nidra not just as a relaxation method, but as a profound journey into expanded awareness.

 

What Is Yoga Nidra Sleep?

Yoga Nidra is referred to as the “Yogic sleep”. This is a state of being between sleep and awake in full consciousness. In contrast to our normal sleep or awake states, this is immensely favorable to deep emotional and physical healing. A brain mapping study found that Yoga Nidra practitioners’ brains show that they are in a deep resting state, which is seen in deep sleep while being completely conscious. In those states self-healing processes are initiated, trauma and emotional as well as physical stress can subside.
