Yoga Nidra is a highly powerful ancient sleep-based meditation technique originated from the ancient yogic scriptures. Yoga Nidra uses the biological process of sleep to enter an evolutionary state of consciousness where one can awaken to their true nature
I AM Yoga Nidra Professional Training
This transformational yoga nidra training is designed to give you a profound understanding of yoga nidra as an ancient technology designed to solve the pitfalls of the human experience. Laid out in a precise step-by-step manner, these profound yogic teachings are designed to lead you through a personal and practical process of insight and understanding that will help you see your own life in a different light. Twice daily experiences of yoga nidra will allow these insights to take root and changes to happen from the subtlest levels of consciousness. We will do a total of thirteen or more yoga nidra sessions in four days. Science shows that after eleven sessions of yoga nidra, measurable changes begin to happen in the brain.
About Yoga Nidra
Every night when we sleep, we must do one thing; let go of our thoughts. Consciously entering this twilight zone between waking and sleeping enables us to rest more and more as the space of being beyond the mind, and less and less as the mind itself. Yoga Nidra is one of the most profound and direct channels for accelerated awakening, physical and emotional healing and the management of insomnia, stress, burnout, anxiety, depression and a host of physical diseases that result. Yoga Nidra transforms through the principle of density. Working with the body and mind is like working with a block of ice. Working with energy and subtle realms of consciousness reveals that that which appears dense and difficult to change in the waking state is malleable and easy to change in subtle realms of dream-like consciousness –like water.
This training is a fascinating journey into the origins and true purpose of yoga as well as applications to modern illnesses. We give you a map– but we also give you the practice and guidance to walk that map on your own. You will learn how this ancient technique of Yoga enables you to not only enter subtle realms of consciousness, but reshape your life and your health from beyond the reach of will. Whether you or a loved one is struggling with sleep, addictive habits, stress, weight, or worry, Yoga Nidra sees all these conditions as visible manifestations of one invisible cause. Work with each symptom singly and we will be busy for a lifetime.

Advanced
Dive deeper into the esoteric and practical applications of I AM Yoga Nidra™. Drawing on little-known teachings of the Upanishads, scripture study of the Yoga Sutras, and rare teachings from our Lineage, we will explore the origins of Yoga Nidra as an ancient mystical practice.
We go deeper into the anatomy of the koshas, the importance of the wisdom body and how Yoga Nidra benefits all koshas. You will understand the higher and lower mind, how the ego is created and how the ego can be used in service of the Self.
New techniques for yourself and your students include new body rotations, breath and awareness cards, kosha experiences and prana/mother divine Yoga Nidra. You will also learn basics of Yoga Nidra as a form of yoga therapy, using protocols to aid those seeking emotional integration and solutions for trauma, PTSD and other forms of energetic blockages.
We will have a more in-depth look at visualizations and image techniques — understanding how they relate to the mental and wisdom body, when to use them, and how to deliver them so they do not bring in the thinking mind.
