"When there is no light, no thought, no movement or stir,
when it is absolute stillness
“When it feels as though darkness is breathing”,
when you are not unconscious the way people are unconscious in sleep,
when you are conscious of being there, without any disturbance,
without any sound, without any movement,
without any memory or even samskaras arising,
then you are in Yoga Nidra."
- Swami Veda Bharati
Embodied Wisdom Teaching
Surrender to Yoga Nidra - Deepen into the Stillness
Learn the ancient art of this deeply healing, restorative and nourishing technique. Yoga Nidra has been used for thousands of years by Yogis and adepts to cultivate prana thereby allowing the Yogi to abide in the true nature of the Self.
Yoga Nidra is the ''experience of complete non-doing''. In truth there is no doing. Yoga Nidra is an immersion into our highest truth and awareness, one of unity consciousness.
When we practice Yoga Nidra we surrender completely to our higher being. In this space of surrender and letting go, our bodies heal on all levels. Yoga Nidra invites us to surrender the mind. Merging mind in the cave in the heart, the seat of consciousness, is the true experience of oneness.
Through the practice of Yoga Nidra we experience tranquility, bliss and complete peace. Our Advanced 300 hr Yoga Nidra Teacher Training will take you on a journey to discover these ancient teachings of self-realization.
The Teacher Training will equip you to teach Yoga Nidra one-on-one, retreats and workshops, as we cover in-depth all aspects of this immensely soothing, restorative and relaxing yoga practice. This Advanced Yoga Nidra teacher Training is a first in South Africa.
This teacher training certifies the student in 300 hours Yoga Nidra Practice and Teaching. It is internationally accredited through The Yoga teachers Fellowship of Southern Africa.
Learn the Art of "Being" in the present moment. Learn to be present as a Teacher of Yoga Nidra, in this present moment. Moment by moment and breath by breath, gently cultivating an awareness and a felt sense of the body in each and every moment.
Learn to enter the inner Sanctuary of the Heart, allowing the mind to rest in complete stillness.
Holding sacred space allows healing to occur on a deep level in the practitioner. Learn to create a safe and trusting relational field in which release and healing occurs. Learn how to provide healing, restorative and nurturing Yoga Nidra.

The modern Yoga nidra practices are done lying down on your back in Savasana or corpse pose, while listening to and being guided through ancient techniques which bring awareness to sacred marma points on the body. In The 61 Points also known as Shavayatra the Mahamrityunjaya mantra can be chanted or a point of blue light can be visualized, on each marma point to draw in prana and healing for both body and mind. Other techniques consist of guided meditation in which the focus is on pratyahara, a yogic technique in which the link between the senses and mind is severed. The senses no longer disturb the mind and therefore the mind becomes tranquil. Focus is also placed on breathing, and the advanced pranayama practice of Shithali Karana is used to bring the practitioner into deeper states of tranquility, peace and meditation. During this Teacher Training you will learn to take the seat of the Teacher, embodying stillness and presence in the relational field between yourself and your own student/client. You will learn the Art of Being, in this moment, the only moment. You will learn how to enter into this inner sanctuary within the heart. You will learn the deeper meaning of holding sacred space.
"The mental stability obtained by the power of Yoga is known as Yoga Nidra"

What our students are saying:
"I am blessed to have come across a teacher training at the right time (of course!). And the unfolding couldn't be more beautiful, more gentle, more mesmerising ...Yoga Nidra! I have studied Yoga Nidra for the last 10 years through my beloved teacher Swami Yogasagar but never have I found a dedicated space and practice to call my own, to fully immerse in, beyond teaching. And here it finally is. Thank you Bettina and the Hrdayam School of Yoga for creating this training!"
