I AM YOGA NIDRA
™
Yoga Nidra is an ancient sleep-based meditation technique that has the power to take you to the innermost, deepest levels of relaxation where your whole body and being is permeated by peace of mind and profound stillness.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
Yoga Nidra is very effective for addressing common
stress-related health issues, and self-destructive behavior patterns.
Relieve Stress & Burnout
Improve Sleep Quality
Release
Anxiety
& Depression
Recover from Trauma, PTSD
&
Addiction
Manage
Inflammation &
Diabetes
Type II
According to the Huffington Post, 75 percent of Doctor's visits are stress related.
Yoga Nidra reverses the chronic fight or flight state in which most of us live, thereby reversing stress related illnesses at their root.
Relieve Stress & Burnout
Stressful days reduce alpha brainwave activity and make it difficult to fall asleep. Yoga Nidra increases alpha brainwave activity promoting deep and restful sleep.
Studies show that those who practice meditation and Yoga Nidra experience more sleep cycles at night indicating more restorative sleep.
Improve Sleep Quality
Anxiety and Depression are often the body’s response to extended pressures.
Yoga Nidra promotes the release of serotonin, which can play a key role in alleviating symptoms of depression.
The release of GABA calms the nervous system and quiets the over-agitated mind.
Of all its benefits, Yoga Nidra as meditation has been shown to be one of the most effective aids for anxiety and depression.
Release
Anxiety
& Depression
Following a trauma, the nervous system can get shocked out of its normal range of functioning. Yoga Nidra helps normalize the nervous system back to baseline levels.
Yoga Nidra is a great aid for relapse prevention. It helps an individual cope differently with stressors that trigger relapse.
It is also an excellent non-religious meditation practice which is a strong component of AA.
Recover from Trauma, PTSD
&
Addiction
Long-term stress increases the inflammatory processes in the body, serving as the basis of many diseases including Rheumatoid arthritis, Alzheimers, allergies, inflammatory bowel diseases and more. There’s evidence that Yoga Nidra as meditation dampens the activity of genes associated with inflammation.
Yoga Nidra helps balance blood sugar and has been shown to be very helpful in the treatment of Type II Diabetes.

The Art of Transformational Sleep
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.

THREE FORMATS TO FIT YOUR SCHEDULE
Option 1: Entirely Self-Paced
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. 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: In-Person
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.
Note: You can mix and match study of Yoga Nidra I and II among the different options above. For example, you can do the immersion in person and certification online or vise versa.
