The mind is gradually trained to connect into tranquility effortlessly. Ultimately the practice works on the mind to release impressions from the past and anxieties about the future. It helps us to retrain the nervous system and create new neural pathways that support the relaxation response. Yoga Nidra is a powerful tool to enable the parasympathetic nervous system and enhance deep sleep\, thus supporting health and well-being at many levels.= \nDIAPHRAGMATIC BREATHING \nWhen we have the ability to alter the breath at will\, we are nourishing and optimising many bodily functions while managing the mind and emotions. Different basic breathing methods will be explored with the aim of developing the diaphragmatic breath\, which is one of the fastest ways to influence the vagus nerve\, responsible for turning on the relaxation response in order to help the body restore itself after states of stress. It is also an important factor in healthy digestion\, influencing gut health\, the microbiome connected to the immune system and important neurotransmitters such as serotonin. \nRESTORATIVE YOGA \nRestorative Yoga will be explored using the Pawanmuktasana Joint series\, which brings both the body and mind into a harmonious state\, supporting the flow of prana in the system and restoration. Other postures specific to supporting the relaxation response will also be examined in relation to adrenal glands\, breath connection and mindfulness. We will also delve into a more classical understanding of Restorative Yoga\, regarding props and extended time periods in supported postures. Restorative Yoga has been shown to support the dismantling of chronic tension patterns\, enhanced immune function and effective cellular respiration. It has also proven to reduce hypertension and mental and emotional stress to facilitate more homeostasis in the body-mind structure\, returning it to a natural state of ease and equilibrium. \nTHIS TRAINING IS DESIGNED FOR… \nYoga Practitioners who want to delve deeper in their personal practice and learn how to manage stress effectively.\nYoga Teachers who want to develop new skills and deepen their understanding of yogic concepts and lifestyle.\nHealth Professionals who are looking for effective tools to support clients.\nMedical and health professionals\, psychiatrists\, psychotherapists and yoga teachers are using these practices in a variety of settings including schools\, offices\, community centres\, drug and alcohol rehabilitation\, prisons and nursing homes. They may be effective in the management of: \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[/vc_column_text][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4LT1v7FcLM” align=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]ADDITIONAL INFORMATION[vc_column_text]This training is Module 1 of our 300-hour Relaxation and Meditation Teacher Training (Intermediate to Advanced) \nModule 1: Yoga Nidra & Restorative Practices (150 hours)\nModule 2: Meditation and Pranayama (150 hours) Students can take one or both of the modules\, and are not required to have taken Module 1 to take Module 2. \nBook both modules of our 300-hour Relaxation and Meditation Teacher Training (Intermediate to Advanced) at the same time\, and receive a 10% discount. \nTaking both modules in order is the best way to get the most out of the training\, as Module 1 covers educational prerequisites that will be further expanded upon in Module 2.

DESCRIPTION:[vc_row gap=”35″][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n\nOverview\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”content-subheader”]This 6-day meditation gathering with Swami Anandakumar & Swami Kailash provides an opportunity to travel to your own centre\, to find the stillness within\, discover that your own inner nature is unchanging and connect to your higher source. \nThe gathering offers the unique opportunity to explore tools that will help you to truly find peace\, happiness\, clarity\, perspective on the whole of life and spiritual transformation.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”8529″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]This silent meditation gathering offers a unique chance for you to go into a space of silence to begin or deepen your meditation practice depending on your previous experience. Let your mind rest and enjoy a different\, deeper kind of reflection and relaxation that will leave you wiser\, and more ready for the challenges of life. Whilst Power of Awareness can be attended as a stand-alone gathering\, we highly recommend attending our Traditional Hatha Yoga Shuddhi Gathering to prepare the body\, mind and energy to go deeper into meditation. If you choose to book both the Traditional Hatha Yoga Shuddhi & Power of Awareness Gatherings as a package\, you will receive one free night of meals and accommodation in between the two gatherings \n\n\n\nRenowned meditation teacher\, Swami Anandakumar\, takes a fresh and direct approach to meditation which is effective for both the beginner and advanced practitioner. The combination of ancient yoga techniques with well-timed\, intuitive guidance\, aimed at the modern mind\, helps each person to find their way to deeper levels of awareness through access to their own intuitive experience. \nThese meditation practices will be balanced with Hatha Yoga\, Yoga Nidra\, Karma Yoga\, Kirtan and Havan (fire ceremony) to actively encourage a self-explorative approach to meditation and provide a gentle way to balance the mind and realign the awareness toward your own inner nature. \nWith more than 35 years experience Sw. Anandakumar helps to bring harmony to meditation practice\, outlining a working ‘road map’ in order to harmonise any conflict with the body-mind and find your way forward. This allows your meditation practice to come from a place of inspiration rather than a feeling of obligation\, which is uplifting even as you begin to face up to yourself. It’s a jumping-off point for a deeper self-discovery. \nThe focus of this inspiring gathering is on Awareness in Meditation. And it will help to answer some essential questions. \n\nWhat is meditation?\nWhat is its purpose?\nHow do we practise it properly?\nHow do we maintain our meditation practice\nWhat are the benefits that meditation can accrue for us in daily life?\n\nThis gathering is suitable for:\n• For all sincere students\, seekers\, and spiritual adventurers.\n• To develop and extend your regular meditation practice of finding the answers within the self.\n• Each meditation experience is unique with the potential to go deeper each time. \nIf you are interested\, read our 5 Reasons to attend a Silent Meditation Gathering\, check out our interview with Swami Anandakumar or our Silent Meditation Gathering Reflections blogposts.

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.
