SUMMARY:Yoga Nidra & Restorative Yoga Teacher Training
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row gap=”35″][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=”content-subheader”]\nIn-person 16 day residential at Anahata Yoga Retreat\, Golden Bay\, New Zealand. Followed by a 3-month online training package. A total of 150 hours covering theory\, applications & learning to instruct Yoga Nidra\, Basic Breathing Methods & Restorative Yoga. All-inclusive of training sessions\, a comprehensive manual\, online content\, food & accommodation. \n  \n  \n[/vc_column_text][vc_video link=”https://vimeo.com/291806729″][vc_column_text]\n\n  \nOverview\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]A professional development course for yoga teachers\, health and education professionals and those interested in guiding relaxation techniques. Explore tools to 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\, Restorative Yoga and breathing techniques will be explored from practical\, scientific\, psychological and lifestyle perspectives. Learn teaching tools to effectively share a range of relaxation practices for differing client needs\, including therapeutic applications.  \nDelve into each stage of Yoga Nidra including history\, symbology and use of sankalpa or positive intention. Investigate the relaxation response\, the Vagus Nerve\, building resilience\, sleep hygiene \, diaphragmatic breath\, pratyahara and relevant yogic theory\, mindfulness\, props\, principles of care\, creative teaching\, course and class planning\, client support and so much more! \nYoga Nidra \nYoga Nidra is a profound\, yet simple\, practice that encourages the mind to let go of the external world and turn inwards\,  giving the senses a deep rest from the activities of contemporary society. 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. \nRequest an info booklet: yoga@anahata-retreat.org.nz\n  \n[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”8274″][vc_column_text]\n\n  \nThis Training is Designed for…\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n\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. \n\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.
