Deepen your understanding of Yoga Nidra and learn to integrate it into your teaching.
The Foundation Training introduces the architecture of Yoga Nidra. You learn the structure of a practice, the koshas, the nervous system and the art of guiding others with confidence and care.
The Advanced Training invites you into something more potent. Rather than learning more techniques, we begin refining our perception. We enter the subtler dimensions of Yoga Nidra, where philosophy becomes lived experience, silence becomes a teacher, and practice gradually transforms the way we relate to ourselves, our students and the world around us.
This training is a portal. A portal into the quieter landscapes of awareness. Into the wisdom that lives beyond thinking. Into the spaciousness where Yoga Nidra slowly shifts from something we practise into something we embody.
How does Yoga Nidra begin to guide us?
As our practice deepens, we slowly discover that awareness cannot be forced, bliss cannot be pursued and wisdom cannot be accumulated. They reveal themselves when we learn to rest, to listen and to trust the intelligence that already lives within us.
Together we explore the Vijnanamaya and Anandamaya Koshas—the wisdom and bliss bodies—through the lens of Yoga Nidra, Tantra, Vajrayana Buddhism and Nada Yoga. These teachings are not approached as theories to understand, but as living traditions that invite us into direct experience, embodied spirituality and a deeper relationship with ourselves.
Throughout these six weeks, philosophy and practice are woven together through long Yoga Nidra journeys, contemplative inquiry, movement, sound, discussion and self-reflection. The teachings gradually come alive and fully embodied.
This training is not about accumulating more knowledge but a true invitation to slow down, to listen more deeply and to cross into clear light.

What You Will Learn
This training is for you if you have already established a foundation in Yoga Nidra and feel called to continue the journey. t is for you if:
- You wish to deepen your own Yoga Nidra practice beyond technique.
- You are curious about the contemplative and spiritual dimensions of Yoga Nidra.
- You feel drawn to the traditions of Tantra, Vajrayana Buddhism and Nada Yoga.
- You want to guide Yoga Nidra from lived experience rather than memorised scripts.
- You long to refine your presence, your intuition and your voice as a teacher.
- You are interested in exploring the subtler layers of consciousness with openness, curiosity and humility.
- You wish to continue growing both personally and professionally within a supportive community.
What we will explore together
This training is experiential at its heart.
Each session combines philosophy, discussion, mantra, and extended Yoga Nidra practices, allowing the teachings to become embodied through direct experience.
Over the course of six weeks we will explore:
- The Wisdom & Bliss Bodies
We journey into the Vijnanamaya and Anandamaya Koshas, discovering how wisdom and bliss are not states to achieve, but qualities that naturally reveal themselves when awareness becomes steady and spacious. - Yoga Nidra as a Spiritual Practice
Together we explore Yoga Nidra through the wisdom traditions of Tantra, Vajrayana Buddhism and the Yoga Tarawali. We also introduce the Bardo teachings and contemplate how these perspectives deepen our understanding of awareness, impermanence and awakening. - Nada Yoga — The Practice of Sound
We discover how sound, vibration, mantra and silence become gateways into deeper states of meditation. Through the voice we learn not only how to guide others, but also how to listen more deeply ourselves.
- Refining the Art of Guiding
As teachers, we continue developing our own authentic language and presence. You will create and refine longer Yoga Nidra scripts, practise teaching, receive individual feedback and learn how subtle shifts in pacing, voice and intention can transform the experience of a practice. - Supporting the Nervous System
Building upon the Foundation Training, we revisit Polyvagal Theory alongside movement and pranayama practices that prepare the body and mind for profound states of rest and integration. - Living Your Sankalpa
Rather than simply creating an intention, we accompany our Sankalpa over several weeks, observing how it unfolds through practice and everyday life.
What’s Included?
- Six live online sessions
- One extended Yoga Nidra practices during each session (45–60 minutes)
- Three advanced Yoga Nidra scripts
- Practice teaching and individual feedback after completing the course requirements
- YACEP Certification upon successful completion
- A supportive international community of practitioners and teachers
What we will explore together
Within two weeks after the training, you will submit one 40–60 minute Yoga Nidra recording.
This final project is an opportunity to integrate everything you have explored throughout the course and to discover your own authentic voice as a Yoga Nidra teacher. Personal feedback will support you in continuing to refine your practice beyond the training itself.
REQUIRED READING
- Yoga Nidra: The Art of Transformational Sleep, Kamini Desai

MEET YOUR FACILITATOR
Flavia is an international yoga & meditation teacher (E-RYT), Shamanic Reiki Master, and Ceremonial Guide.
For me, Yoga Nidra has never simply been a relaxation technique. It has become a way of relating to life.
Over the years it has transformed the way I experience my body, my nervous system and my relationship with silence. It has taught me that some of the deepest forms of healing arise not through doing more, but through learning to rest, to listen and to trust.
My own path has led me through many different traditions, including classical Yoga Nidra, Clear Light Yoga Nidra, Tantra, Vajrayana Buddhism, Nada Yoga and Shamanic Wisdom Practices. Rather than teaching these as separate systems, I love exploring the places where they meet and illuminate one another.
I hold a Master’s degree in Literary Theory and have spent many years studying mythology, symbolism and contemplative traditions. Alongside this academic background, it is my own lived experience that continues to shape the way I teach.
My intention is not simply to share knowledge, but to create spaces where students can discover their own inner wisdom, develop confidence in their unique voice and experience Yoga Nidra as a living practice that continues to unfold long after the training has ended.
