transformation through Yoga nidra

The ancient practice of Yoga Nidra is a form of meditation based on both the ancient tantric yogic model of the Koshas (the 5 subtle bodies) and modern neuroscience. Take a deep dive into learning this unique combination of deep relaxation and alert aware meditation. Yoga Nidra is an experience that rejuvenates and renews both the physical body and the mind. It is a quiet practice of constructive rest that brings forth healing and transformation- the much needed global antidote to raw overstimulated nervous systems.

Yoga Nidra means yogic sleep. It is a state of relaxed consciousness, which is the result of a guided sequential journey inward to stillness. This deeply healing practice offers an opportunity to transform long held perceptions, beliefs, blocked energy that we rely on to make sense of our world.

We are all conditioned in the way we experience our reality by memories and narratives of the past. Within the deep state of Yoga Nidra, we can learn to re-pattern and regulate the nervous system and release and heal subconscious issues from the past, present and future, related to health, work, stress and relationships resulting in a conscious and powerful existence.

We welcome you to join the tribe of teachers changing the world's relationship with how we process the power of quiet through this gift of constructive deep rest.
