EXPERIENCE YOUR AMAZING POTENTIAL FOR IMPROVED SLEEP, DEEP RELAXATION, AND ENHANCED FOCUS WITH YOGA NIDRA
We offer 2 programs. A few years ago we started experimenting with Yoga Nidra as a tool to support clients with Parkinson’s Disease and with Post Concussion Syndrome. We are happy to report that both of these groups of students had life changing experiences with the practice. We are happy to announce that we will be offering this program to the public in the form of a 7 Session Yoga Nidra Experience and an Intense Yoga Nidra teacher training immersion.
Join Denise Davis-Gains, C-IAYT, Founding Director of The Atlas Yoga School and advanced yoga teachers and yoga therapists for a powerful inward transformation. Become attuned to the here and now, allowing inner wisdom to emerge and stress to melt away as we progress through stages of relaxation. The 7 Session Yoga Nidra Experiential course is accessible to all, and we will teach you everything you’ve ever wanted to know about the benefits of “yogic sleep.” The Yoga Nidra Teacher Training Immersion is open to yoga teachers, therapists and interested yoga students (the 7 Session Yoga Nidra Experiential Course is a required course for the YNTT Immersion).
The Atlas Yoga Nidra Method is one of the most accessible forms of yoga for our clients and as a niche for yoga teachers it can be done anywhere, anytime with few limitations. An evidence based - proven to heal technology that is easy and fun to learn and teach. You do not have to be a yoga teacher to take and/or teach this methodology. You will learn everything that you need to share this technique with individuals and groups.
This training method is derived from ancient practices and principles of Yoga Nidra and the yogic non-dual wisdom teachings of meditation. It is simple to learn, easy to practice, and is designed to help you meet, greet, and respond to each moment of your life with a sense of equanimity and well-being. This special protocol can be used in a variety of settings, including yoga environments; physical therapy, massage therapy, social work, clinical, and medical establishments; alternative or integrative medical practices; and in-job training and job resiliency programs.
Module I and Module II can now be done any time on-demand with an interactive community group for asking questions, getting clarification and support in a community dedicated channel with access to the lead instructor.

What Folks are are saying about
Atlas Yoga Nidra Training :
“Working with Denise in the Atlas Yoga Nidra YTT is amazing. Denise is a fountain of knowledge in her area of expertise, and she shares it with great skill and clarity. I felt deeply rested, totally prepared to teach, and beautifully connected to my sankalpa and to my nidra community. The dance breaks were a blast too!
If you are considering exploring and understanding the very special practice of Yoga Nidra, I highly recommend Denise and her training.”
~ Margaret (Yoga Teacher, Norfolk ON)
“Denise has created a wonderful program, thorough info & inspired training course. The course pack and preparation work were very informative and great background prep as well as reference as I started out teaching Yoga nidra and to simply to ground my own practice solidly. Her deep passion and extensive research over many years is apparent and she creates such a loving, compassionate and safe group learning environment suitable for anyone with an interest in learning more about this incredible practice.
This was one of my favourite continuing education courses ever and as a social worker I've done many!
I highly recommend taking this course with Denise.
~ Janice (EW M.S.W. RSW, Toronto, ON)
“I have recently completed the Atlas Yoga Nidra Training with Denise Davis-Gains. As a registered massage therapist, I was able to begin offering and facilitating Yoga Nidra to individuals and small groups immediately following the training. The training exceeded my expectations and provided a deep and rich understanding of Yoga Nidra not only from a yogic perspective, but also from a current and well researched Neurobiological standpoint. The learning opportunities in the training were a combination of academic and experiential. It was an amazing and well rounded learning experience. Denise and the facilitation team are warm, well versed, creative and articulate instructors, facilitators and mentors, I would highly recommend this training to other professionals in my field. “
~ Nicole (RMT, Windsor, ON)
The Atlas Yoga Nidra training was a true game changer for me. It gave me the opportunity to move beyond the experience of a juicy restful nap (Which it is by the way!) and dive in the rich depths and layers that lie underneath the perceived simplicity. Denise’s background knowledge in science and trauma from a western medicine point of view and her longtime experience as a Yoga /Meditation teacher and therapist are the perfect balance for creating a well developed and accessible learning environment. I am an artist and writer so the Yoga Nidra stages that allowed me to use my creative skills were my favourite. I live outside of a big city centre where there is no Yoga Nidra so I have been able to offer classes to small groups and we have built a nice little community spreading the message of (as Denise says) “Deep Rest”. I can’t recommend this training enough. It has changed me and given me great opportunities to connect with my community”.
