YOGA NIDRA TRAINING

Join us for this unique eight-days Yoga Nidra Teacher Training in the beautiful forests of mainland Greece. During these eight days, you will fully immerse yourself and learn about the meditation technique of Yoga Nidra.

During Yoga Nidra, which is often referred to as “sacred yogic sleep", your body is laying down while your consciousness begins to explore new states of expansion and awareness. Experiencing the teaching of this ancient practice opens the heart and mind to understanding the vastness of consciousness in new dimensions.

During this 50-hour Yoga Nidra Teacher Training, you will learn the basic teachings of the practice, explore different styles and study sacred texts. In addition to learning about various traditional Yoga Nidra techniques such as the Himalayan Masters or Bihar School, you will be introduced to other styles such as IAM Yoga Nidra, iRest, Clear Light, as well as how the traditional shamanic journey can be applied to a Yoga Nidra practice.

You will closely work with a Sankalpa (a spiritual intention) that will evolve and transform in the process of the time shared together. You will also learn about the science behind Yoga Nidra, the influence of the Koshas (5 bodies) on the practice, and the benefits that Yoga Nidra has on overall health, the nervous system, and sleeping patterns.

In accordance with School Yoga Institute’s focus on combining Shamanism and Yoga, you will receive an introduction to the Peruvian Medicine Wheel, the Shamanic Journey, and how these teachings can add to your Yoga Nidra practice in general. Together we will move through the four stages of the medicine wheel and the 5 koshas: the body, the mind and emotions, the heart, and the essence of your spirit.

This training is not only about learning a new meditation technique, it is also an exploration and expansion of your inborn potential — it calls you into being truly yourself while stepping into your unique light. You will leave the training with five unique sample Yoga Nidra scripts as well as one written by yourself in the process.

This training is offered to certified 200-hour yoga teachers that want to explore and expand both their teaching and their personal practice. If you are interested in this program but are not a registered Yoga teacher and/or do not require certification you can still participate and use this time to gain new insights into practice as ancient as life itself.
