Immerse Yourself in the Healing and Rejuvenating Practice of Yoga Nidra
We all know stress and its effect on overall wellness is a growing issue.
Some stress is natural and good for us. However, when stress begins to undermine our mental and physical health, it is no longer good.
While there’s no way to completely eradicate stress, we can equip you with tools to help you combat its effects through the ancient practice of Mindful Rest Yoga Nidra.
Mindful Rest Yoga Nidra is an ancient transformative practice of deep relaxation and meditative inquiry. Yoga Nidra is a simple, yet profound, systematic technique of inducing complete physical, mental and emotional relaxation.
This 50 Hour Certification provides an understanding of the theory of Yoga Nidra in both yogic and scientific terms, as well as various applications to be used for deep relaxation, stress management, chronic pain, anxiety and depression, insomnia, PTSD, and releasing negative emotions and thought patterns.
Yoga Nidra can be successfully used in personal practice, yoga classes, social work, massage and physical therapy, as well as alternative and integrative practices.
