Yoganidrā teacher training - 50 hour YAP
On the back of Khadine’s masters degree and a couple of decades of practice and teaching we are launching a yoganidrā teacher training course.
There are a lot of YN training courses out there but this will be a course with some difference! It is rooted in Khadine’s dissertation research around the role of sleep in yoga and meditation traditions of South Asia and will explore the rich history of practices that influenced or directly link to what is a modern yoganidrā practice.
There is much more to this practice than the assumption that this was purely a practice created by Swami Satyānanda in the 1970's, and in fact Khadine’s research has revealed the depths of just how rich this history is, and seeds of practice are found in some of the earliest teachings of yoga dating back over 2500 years. This course will give you a foundation in history and yoga philosophy and its direct application as a practice that opens the pathway to direct realisation and experience of the philosophy. It will give you confidence to guide people into the state of yoganidrā, in a supportive, inclusive and safe environment. It will enrich you with the tools for a personal practice and for a real understanding of what we are doing in this practice from the level of yoga philosophy, energetics and neuroscience. This will give you something very special to share with your students or purely for your own practice.
This course is open to qualified yoga teachers and trainee yoga teachers, Pilates teachers, psychotherapists, hypnotherapists and anyone who might be working in a therapeutic one to one environment with clients. Please get in touch if you have any questions around your eligibility.
The next course is delivered in-person at Flow State Hove and there is also an option to join as a remote participant via Zoom.
Course structure - what it includes:
4 x 6-hour main module sessions - these are interactive including group breakout sessions, guided practices and individual teaching practice, discussions as well as presentations.
4 x 1-1.5 hour zoom sessions with led practice and Q&A
Access to a weekly yoga and Yoganidrā zoom yoga class with Khadine (included in course fees)
Homework to further your understanding and experience of the practice
An extended study time over 2 months to allow integration of the teachings
Access to an online community space for all trainees and graduates of the course for sharing resources - as with Vajrasati principals this course will incorporate shared learning for a horizontal style learning rather than vertical - we all have something to offer!
Vajrasati Yoga certified training and Yoga Alliance Professionals accredited 50 hour specialised yoga teacher training (this is not CPD points but a teacher training certification reflecting the depth of the training)
