The methods taught in the training will assist in the release of deep muscular\, mental and emotional tension\, inducing calmness and clarity for a range of life and health situations. \nYoga Nidra \nYoga Nidra is a profound\, yet simple\, practice that leads to a state of being in which the mind lets go of the external world and turns inwards giving the senses a deep rest from the activities of contemporary society. The mind is gradually trained to connect into tranquility effortlessly. Yoga Nidra systematically releases tension experienced in the muscles\, the breath\, and the nervous system. Ultimately the practice works directly on the mind to release impressions from the past and anxieties about the future. \nBasic Breathing Methods and Restorative Yoga \nWhen we have the ability to alter the breath at will\, we gain the ability to nourish and optimise the body and manage the mind and emotions. The benefits of Basic Breathing Methods and Restorative Yoga include the dismantling of chronic tension patterns\, enhanced immune function\, effective cellular respiration\, reduced hypertension in the cardiovascular system\, reduced mental and emotional tension\, a body-mind returned to a natural state of ease and equilibrium. \nApplications in professional life \nPsychiatrists\, psychotherapists\, medical and health professionals and yoga teachers in a variety of settings including schools\, offices\, community centres\, drug and alcohol rehabilitation\, prisons and nursing homes are using these tools. They may be effective in the management of: \n\nStress\, Anxiety\, Insomnia & Depression\nPost Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)\nAddictions\nHigh Blood Pressure and Heart Disease\nRespiratory conditions\nNeurological conditions and motor impairments\nChronic fatigue and adrenal issues\nDigestive Issues\nAsthma and Diabetes\n\nRead more about the benefits of Yoga Nidra in our blog – Five Ways Yoga Nidra Can Transform Your World or our Restorative Yoga Blog 10 ways Restorative Yoga can heal you.  Read about Resident Devpriya’s life changing experience on the November Teacher Training in her article – From Panic to Peace. \nLearn about The Power of Yoga Nidra in Crisis and how it can help you face the unexpected challenges of life before\, during and after. \n  \n  \n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\nThe Retreat Programme Includes\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n\n\n10 nights\, shared accommodation (unless camping)\, all meals and the full retreat programme. \nA 10 day Professional Development Residential Retreat which is followed by 3 months training package with course work including MP3 practice sessions undertaken at home. \nThis comprises a minimum of 2 months of personal practice combined with periods of instruction and theoretical study in both face-to-face and online learning environments. \nOnce the foundations of personal practice are set\, teaching methodology\, skills and teaching practice are introduced\, working towards a final teaching assessment. \n\nRestorative Hatha Yoga\, breathing practices\, Yoga Nidra\, Meditation\, Mantra Meditation for your own health\nUnderstanding the techniques of Yoga Nidra & Restorative Yoga from a practical and theoretical point of view\nOption for deep theory sessions including the science behind the techniques\nImmersion into the the yoga lifestyle\, with plenty of time for reflection\nSWAN practice\nOther optional theory sessions\nDaily Yoga Nidra (deep relaxation)\nBasic Breathing Techniques including breath and the link with relaxation theory\nKarma Yoga (action with meditative awareness)\nFire Ceremony (Havan) and Chanting (healing sound vibration)\n\nMentoring and Internship Options: Once you have completed the residential training\, you can choose to stay at Anahata for a residential internship to practice teach and receive guidance from senior teachers.  Please enquire for more info. \n5 day personal retreat – Experience relaxation practices with plenty of time for reflection and optional theory sessions as compared to an intensive training.
