Yoga Nidra: A Somatic Approach to Deep Rest

At Prajna, Yoga Nidra begins long before the body becomes still. Through gentle somatic movement, we prepare the body for profound rest. As the tissues soften and the nervous system quiets, attention is gently guided away from the surface and into the depths of perceiving. Awareness moves from the skin to the fascia, from the periphery toward the core, until resting within the spacious stillness of the brain and spinal cord. Yoga Nidra is not an escape from the body, but an intimate journey through it. Rather than simply relaxing, Yoga Nidra becomes an exploration of embodied consciousness. Guided with precision and care, students enter the liminal space between wakefulness and sleep, where deep restoration, clarity, and inner listening naturally arise. This six-session online training is designed for yoga teachers, movement educators, therapists, healthcare professionals, and dedicated practitioners who wish to deepen their own experience of Yoga Nidra while learning to confidently guide others.
