Yoga Nidra teacher training
IN PERSON AT MOSAIC YOGA
“I liked the depth of the content that you offered. It is by far one of the most thorough courses I have taken. I love the safe space you provided to make everyone feel welcome and seen.”
This Training
Yoga Nidra is a unique methodology based on the ancient anatomy of the koshas. Often described as a prolonged savasana, this meditation modality involves deep bodily rest and the opportunity to reset negative thought patterns in the brain.
Participants of this program will walk away with the tools to lead a yoga nidra practice that both honours its roots, and has relevance for our current lives. This program is about more than becoming a yoga nidra teacher, this is about equipping you with the know-how to rest and relieve stress. Yoga Nidra is an effective tool for new parents, caregivers, seasoned students and instructors alike. This program welcomes all bodies and all levels of experience (including none!)

“I signed up for Taryn’s Yoga Nidra Teacher Training expecting to walk out with a practice to share with my students, but I left with much more. Blending philosophy, hands on learning and immersive exercises, I was thoroughly inspired by Taryn and the nidra practices explored. I’ve been able to apply the lessons in my classes, adding new dimensions to my current teaching offerings. Thanks so much Taryn!”
