WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
Yoga Nidra is very effective for addressing common
stress-related health issues, sleep problems and self-destructive patterns.
Every night when we sleep, we must do one thing; let go of our thoughts. In Yoga Nidra we consciously enter the twilight zone between waking and sleeping, enabling us to rest more and more as the space of being beyond the mind, and less and less as the mind itself. This unlocks the mystical, integrative powers of the subconscious, as well as your higher centers of consciousness, to effortlessly erase your most tenacious, self-destructive habits and behavior patterns. It is said by yogis that 45 minutes of Yoga Nidra is as restorative as three hours of sleep.
Yoga Nidra I & II:

OTHER FORMATS TO FIT YOUR SCHEDULE
Option 1: Entirely Self-Paced
Instead of one 10-day course, the online courses are divided into two parts. Part I is called Immersion. Part II is called certification. You need to take Part I before Part II and both must be taken to receive a certificate. You can join these courses anytime you like! The immersion is entirely self paced on an education platform. Tests and quizzes track your progress. The advantage of this format is that you can view the videos as much as you like within a three month (90 day) period, and you can study at your own pace. For the on-demand certification, a mentor will oversee your practice teaching and final certification exam only.
Option 2: Combined Instruction & self-paced
The course is offered periodically and begins with an online welcome introduction to your cohort and is instructed by a senior teacher. Like the 10day in-person option, this course includes part I and II in one complete experience, but over a longer period of time. You will have self-paced videos led by Kamini Desai to view, quizzes to complete, and you'll meet with your group on pre-designated dates/times online. Kamini joins the course for some of the live online portions of the course. This is a nice option if you like the flexibility of learning on your own, but appreciate the support and oversight of a teacher and practicing with others. Contact info@iameducation.org for upcoming dates.
Option 3: Shorter In-Person Formats
If the 10 day in person is too long, we also offer in-person courses in multiplse weekend and two 4-5 day formats. You can take only Part I: Immersion as a personal self-care retreat or continue on to Part II to receive certification. Both Part I and II are required to gain the hours necessary for certification. Enjoy taking time away for an immersive experience with Kamini Desai or a senior teacher. In person courses are offered worldwide. Check our calendar for upcoming dates or contact us.
Option 4: Mix and Match
Note: You can mix and match study of Yoga Nidra Parts I and II among the different options above. For example, you can do Part I: immersion in person and Part II: certification online or vise versa.
