Sound Bath & Yoga Nidra 9 Day YTT Module

Yandara’s Sound Bath and Yoga Nidra Training is open to all levels and is an elective part of our Advanced Yoga Teacher Training Program. During these 9 days we will explore the sacred art of Sound Bath and the relaxation-based meditation technique, Yoga Nidra! You will learn what you need to create deeply meditative and rejuvenating sound baths and guided relaxations for yourself and your students. This program is well suited to dedicated yogis and teachers that are looking to add depth to their practice and enrich their classes. This retreat-style training is designed to be nurturing for body, mind and heart. We will prioritize the cultivation of a calmer, more heart centered state of being through daily regenerative practices and activities.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:

A Sound Bath is a dreamy experience where tuning forks, Tibetan singing bowls, crystal bowls, gongs, chimes, shakers, and other instruments are played intuitively. A Sound Bath promotes deep relaxation and peace. It brings a contemplative inner awareness of the now and helps to open the body’s energetic system. Enjoy and learn to create a transformative Sound Bath experience.

Yoga Nidra is the practice of conscious deep sleep. In Yoga Nidra, we learn how to shed muscular, emotional and mental tensions. Muscular tensions arise from the body, the nervous system and through endocrine imbalance. Emotional tensions arise from the duality of emotions such as love/hate, joy/sadness, success/failure, which we are not able to express freely. Mental tension arises from excessive mental activity. Some of the techniques used to cleanse these tensions include body scanning, concentration on different sounds, opposite sensations, rapid imagery and visualization. Through the practice of Yoga Nidra, we cleanse physical, emotional and mental tensions.

This retreat is part of Yandara’s 300-hr advanced program. It is ideal for those want to advance their yoga teaching career and certification and also for those who simply want to deepen their own personal practice.

The lead teacher for this retreat style training module is Mercy Ananda (Sound Healer & Mantra Musician) together with the rest of our inspiring Yandara crew.
