Total Yoga Nidra Immersion Experience Online


This is an online, expanded version of the Total Yoga Nidrā Immersion Experience: comparative and creative forms of Yoga Nidrā that has been delivered face to face, by Uma Dinsmore-Tuli and Nirlipta Tuli at locations across the world since 2013. Our intention with it is to offer an accessible and profound experience of yoga nidrā, providing a perfect opportunity for those who have encountered the practice in other partial or limited forms to experience the full spectrum of approaches and applications. It also a prerequisite for our Total Yoga Nidra Teacher & Facilitator Training. It is open to anyone with an interest in learning about and experiencing yoga nidra, and assumes no prior knowledge or experience.

The course is built into the online learning sanctuary of the Yoga Nidra Network website, and on purchase you gain ongoing access to this. Here, you can begin your studies at any time, interact with the course materials online, work through the material at your own pace, download the nidra practices to enjoy offline and revisit the course as often as you like. And as your access never expires you will also benefit from all future course development.

What’s in the course?

A combination of theory and practice to give you a sound foundation (or to deepen your existing foundation) of understanding about what yoga nidra is in the broadest sense, and how it works.

Testimonials


"The Yoga Nidra Immersion course really helped me understand so much about the science of brain waves and the design of meditation and related guided rest practices to deliberately access various states of awareness.  

The way in which Uma Dinsmore Tuli has structured the experience and offers insightful comparisons across nearly a dozen schools, brought me a lot of clarity and is ongoing inspiration to deepen my work with Yoga Nidra.”
