In this experiential training, ParaYoga Nidra will be approached as a modality for:

• Healing
• Transformation
• Sankalpa
• Transcendence 
• Accessing the timeless wisdom of the sages––the most subtle application of yoga nidra

Expect to delve into the timeless teachings of the Mandukya Upanishad, which explains the three states of consciousness: waking, dreaming, and sleeping. This text provides sublime insights into the practice of Yoga Nidra and the process of achieving the “4th state”––transcending all the other states, and revealing the sublime experience of ParaYoga Nidra.

Training consists of 40 hours (36contact / 4 non-contact hours), during which you can expect to be fully immersed in this profound tantric practice with 12-14 Nidra practices. Additionally, we will draw on the wisdom of the koshas to inform both your teaching and practice, as well as your life off the mat. Each day will include joint exercises and subtle movement practices to prepare you for yoga nidra. 

Text you will need to purchase for training: Enlightenment Without God: Mandukya Upanishad by Swami Rama.

 40 Yoga Alliance CE hours (completion of training, book, and online quiz)
