teaching TRAUMA-INFORMED YOGA nidra

Yoga Nidra is the only known way to rest the unconscious mind. It is a state of conscious sleep in which a person is both alert and deeply relaxed on a physical, nervous system, mental and emotional level. 

We store trauma in our body, in our unconscious, because it was too uncomfortable and overwhelming to stay present with it at the time. Trauma disconnects us from ourselves and our sense of wholeness. Yoga nidra can be a practice that brings us back.

For thousands of years, meditation masters have used the methods of sleepless sleep (Yoga Nidra) to learn the secrets of the Self, to discover depths of sciences and arts, and to rejuvenate and heal themselves.

Our consciousness during yoga nidra functions at a deep level which increases the capacity of the mind. In this state, we improve our power of focus, connect with our higher Self, and increase well being. It becomes easier to access our intuition to make decisions, find answers to philosophical questions, learn, and to maintain a positive state of mind. Reducing stress through yoga nidra supports and improves physical and mental health.

In yoga nidra, we reach the delta waves of deep non-REM sleep while simultaneously remaining fully conscious. We discover how to get the deep rest we need each day while reducing our need for sleep. The quality of rest we experience in yoga nidra is completely different from ordinary sleep.

We teach what we know to the depth we have experienced. Through our own deepening experience of yoga nidra, we offer students focused guided practice and attuning with the stillness of our own energy field. 

You will enjoy this whether you are a student who wants to learn more and deepen into stillness, or a teacher who wants to bring this into your classes. This is not a demanding 6 week course. This is an opportunity to learn, practice and rest into stillness.
