Event Navigation
Join Swami Karma Karuna for this Yoga Nidra Training held at Anahata Yoga Retreat.
Swami Karma Karuna will be supported by Simon Lee and Lucy Elizabeth for this 100-hour residential training.
This 10 day residential training offers a comprehensive exploration of Yoga Nidra, the science of conscious relaxation and expanded awareness.
Rooted in the ancient yogic tradition and supported by modern neuroscience, Yoga Nidra guides the body into deep rest while maintaining a state of relaxed alertness. Research shows that regular practice helps balance the nervous system, regulate hormones, improve sleep and support emotional healing.
During this immersion, we’ll explore the theory, guided practice and teaching methodology of Yoga Nidra, integrating both classical wisdom and modern scientific understanding.
Furthermore, there is a 6 week online component to be completed after the commencement of the 10 day in person immersion.
