DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n‘Nervous System Reset’ is an 8-week learning experience for anyone who is ready to explore the ancient practice of Yoga Nidra for better sleep\, less stress and the release of trauma. This online classroom will dive deep into the history\, structure\, science and philosophy behind Yoga Nidra\, in a way that is accessible to everyone. \nEvery week for 8 weeks\, students of ‘Nervous System Reset’ access members-only educational content across a range of engaging formats including written\, audio\, video and guided home study. Come away with 40hrs Continuing Education with Yoga Alliance & Yoga NZ! \nYoga Nidra is a profound\, yet simple\, practice that encourages the mind to let go of the external world and turn inwards. It is a fully guided accessible meditation practice that plays with the state between waking and sleeping\, allowing us to explore ‘being’ in a world of ‘doing’. \nImplemented in 8-week sections\, students will have the opportunity to learn about the origins of Yoga Nidra\, experience the many benefits and applications and explore a variety of tools such as visualisations\, Sankalpa\, breath awareness and relaxation techniques. We cover each stage of Yoga Nidra in-depth and delve into the science behind this powerful tool of the ‘yogic sleep’. \nEach week covers a new topic that builds upon the next. We encourage you to follow the weekly structure which progresses you through the course in a way that supports a fuller understanding of Yoga Nidra. However\, the course is self-paced and can be completed in whatever time frame suits you. Each week we invite you to reflect in the provided self-reflection journal. Observe yourself during your practice of Yoga Nidra and notice how it is enhancing\, supporting and inspiring your daily life. \nThis is an inclusive course. All bodies and levels of experience are welcome\, including absolute beginners. Throughout the course you are welcome to contact Swami Karma Karuna\, who will be available to help answer questions and offer support. You will also be invited to live Q&A sessions over zoom\, bi-monthly during the course. These will be recorded and uploaded to the course platform. The course is a total of 40 hours. All course content will be available to you for six months. \n\n\nPlease send any questions to education@anahata-retreat.org.nz \n\n\n\n\nCLICK HERE TO PURCHASE THE COURSE THROUGH OUR THINKIFIC PAGE \n\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n10 Inspiring Videos\n• Yoga Nidra Overview & History • Stress & the Nervous System • Underpinning Principles • Sankalpa • The Body Rotation • Yoga Nidra & the Breath • Yoga Nidra & Opposites • Visualisation • Yoga Nidra & Your Daily Life • Sleep Hygiene \n8 Guided Practices\n• Yoga for the Joints (Pawanmuktasana Series) • Restorative Yoga Class • Natural breathing practice • 4\, 6\, 7 & 8 stage yoga nidra practices \nResources\n• Downloadable Self-Reflection Journal • Informative Resources • Course Guide & Notes \nDiscounts on our Yoga Nidra & Restorative Practices Teacher Training\nUpon completion of the ‘Nervous System Reset’ online course\, you are eligible to receive a 10% discount\, which can be used in conjunction with the Early-Bird price\, on our upcoming 2024 Yoga Nidra & Restorative Practices Teacher Training. \n[/vc_column_text]ADDITIONAL INFO[vc_column_text]\nPRICE: $450 \nSCHEDULE \n\n5 LIVE ZOOM sessions on at 7pm NZT: \n\nThurs 24th August\nThurs 7th September\nThurs 21st September\nThurs 6th October\n\nMon 9th October (Closing ZOOM) \nBOOK HERE: https://anahatayogaretreat.thinkific.com/courses/reset-for-the-nervous-system \n\n\n[/vc_column_text]BENEFITS OF YOGA NIDRA[vc_column_text]\n\n\n  \nGives the senses a deep rest from the activities of contemporary society \n\n\n\n\nTrains the mind to connect into tranquility effortlessly \nReleases impressions from the past and anxieties about the future \nEffective management in the management of stress\, anxiety\, insomnia & depression \n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text]TEACHER[vc_single_image image=”10669″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_circle_2″][vc_column_text]\nSwami Karma Karuna Saraswati  \nSwami Karma Karuna Saraswati is an engaging\, intuitive yoga and meditation teacher\, inspirational speaker\, writer and IAYT certified Yoga Therapist with 30 years of experience in the yoga field including significant training in India including ongoing visits and guidance with her teachers from the Bihar School of Yoga.
