Yoga Nidra
AIYB post-training specialization master for the teaching of Yoga Nidra
Yoga Alliance International Italia® certified
100 hours online
A yoga technique that leads to a deep relaxation, the state of “psychic or conscious sleep”, which derives from ancient tantric and raja yoga knowledge, reworked by Swami Satyananda Saraswati.
The practice allows us to reach that precious “borderline state between wakefulness and sleep”, in which we can access areas of our brain usually dormant or unexplored, located in the subconscious.
All this is not an end in itself: since in this state our mind is particularly receptive, the potential for healing and transformation inherent in this practice is great.
The unidirectionality of the mind, the aim of yoga as already indicated in the Yoga Sutras, can also be achieved thanks to deep and prolonged relaxation. In a state of complete relaxation, Swami Satyananda recalls, “true transformation” is possible, because it is only in such a state that we “experience the truth”.
