Description:
Rewrite Your Life Sleeping &  Reshape Your Destiny
I AM Yoga NidraTM is an ancient sleep-based meditation technique that has the power to take you to the innermost, deepest levels of relaxation where you can be permeated by profound stillness and peace of mind. A forty five minute Yoga Nidra is said to be as restorative as three hours of sleep.
The practice not only benefits sleep problems, depression, anxiety, trauma, burnout, brain fog and other stress symptoms, it is also said to unlock higher centers of awareness and give us access to the core of our consciousness – the place where lasting shifts can occur.  
This course has two parts. In Part I immersion we dive deeply into the philosophy and practice of Yoga Nidra including:
In-depth instructions on how to practice Yoga Nidra
How to understand and handle common Yoga Nidra experiences
Yogic teachings on: the nature of the Self, Turiya, Koshas, Karma, Samskaras and Sankalpa.
Understand what is happening in the brainwaves during Yoga Nidra
Guided instruction & experiences to develop your own intention
Discover the structure of an I AM Yoga Nidra and how it works
Practice powerful Yoga Nidra transmission with a Yoga Nidra script
Includes guided Yoga Nidra two times per day
Rest, Restore and Rejuvenate the body in your own self care and self-development program. This first part may be taken on its own for those who do not want to go on to certification at this time.
In part II of Certification we go more deeply into science, practical applications and how research is verifying what Yogis have been saying for thousands of years:
Understand what is happening in the brain during Yoga Nidra
Learn how Yoga Nidra can be used to alleviate symptoms of Stress, PTSD, addiction, depression, insomnia and anxiety
Discover cutting edge research on Yoga Nidra and meditation
Receive your own Yoga Nidra card deck
Learn how to create and tailor Yoga Nidra experiences for various needs
Leave with a map for life, the skills to move your life in the direction you want to go and the ability to help others do the same.
“This is the BEST training I have taken anywhere, ever.” -G. Tibson
“This course should be required for every human. I am forever a better person.” - Karen
An exceptional learning experience - Ashley
I came in with a traumatic brain injury and am amazed at the changes I noticed in just a short time. Yoga Nidra works! - -Kristen
I looked around for the best Yoga Nidra training I could find and found this one. But even still, it exceeded my expectations. - Georgiann

I leave here heading to India with my heart so full of love for the students and staff. It's a honor to witness grace unfolding and to share these profound teachings. To be surrounded by people willing to let go of all that holds them back and to let their truest self be revealed and shine is the most rewarding experience, and to know it happens in the presence of an open heart. Trust in yourself to let go and be who You are here to BE, the full expression of you. There is only one you and the world is waiting for your expression. May your heart be open as you shine your light. I know I live an extraordinary life. I don't take it for granted and I'm humbled every time I teach. I know deep within myself something Divine is directing me. And for that I'm grateful. #yoganidrateachertraining #yoganidra #meditation #yoga #transformation #livinginspired #amrityogainstitute #amrityoga #kaminidesai #emotiveyogatherapy #lovethislife #grateful #being #johnvosler (at Orlando International Airport (MCO))
