This specially designed Total Yoga Nidra Immersion Experience is exclusively available to those attending the Yoga United Kerala nine-night retreat with Uma Dinsmore-Tuli in February 2024.
A unique residential retreat approach to the Total Yoga Nidra Immersion Experience, this nine night retreat centres your creativity and dream space, and includes bespoke co-created yoga nidras woven on site in Kerala, live and direct with the certification group.
No previous yoga or yoga nidra experience required.
If you already have completed a yoga nidra training then this approach will widen your horizons to experience a more creative and feminine approach to yoga nidra. If you have already completed the Total Yoga Nidra Immersion Experience, then these live classes provide 10 additional hours of yoga nidra experience with a very creative focus that puts a whole new perspective on the standard immersion course whilst still delivering the core material to enable this to be a prerequisite for the full teacher training.
Completing this course counts as the prerequisite for the Total Yoga Nidra Teacher and Facilitator Training.

Testimonial
"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.”
