Yoga Nidra Teacher Training

There is a place between sleep and wakefulness.
A place where the body deeply rests, the nervous system resets, and the mind becomes quiet.

This is the space of Yoga Nidra.

In my Yoga Nidra Teacher Training, you’ll learn how to guide others into this powerful state of conscious rest, a practice that can support deep relaxation, emotional healing, and nervous system regulation.
www.inspiremovementcoaching.com/50-hour-yoga-nidra…


Whether you feel called to teach Yoga Nidra or simply wish to deepen your understanding of this transformative practice, this training will give you the knowledge, structure, and confidence to begin.

Inside the training you’ll learn:
The science and psychology behind Yoga Nidra
The 8 stages of a Yoga Nidra practice
How to safely guide students into deep relaxation
How to write and deliver your own Yoga Nidra scripts
Ways to integrate Yoga Nidra into yoga, meditation, or wellness classes

This training is online and self-paced, so you can learn in your own time, wherever you are in the world.

Yoga Nidra is one of the most beautiful gifts we can offer our students, a space to simply rest, release, and reconnect.

If you’ve been feeling called to share this practice, I would love to support you on that journey.

Meditation changes more than the mind, it changes the body too.


Through consistent practice, meditation has been shown to support the nervous system by activating the parasympathetic response, helping the body shift out of stress and into a state of rest, regulation and calm.


Slower breathing.
Reduced stress response.
Greater emotional balance.
A deeper connection between mind and body.


This is something we explore deeply inside my online Meditation Teacher Training courses, blending traditional meditation practices with modern nervous system science, psychology and embodied awareness.


Fully online & self-paced

Study anytime, from anywhere


Suitable for both personal practice and those wanting to teach meditation

Arm balances were never my strength.

For a long time, I had a real fear of falling, that my arms would just collapse underneath me and I’d land straight on my face, and I often did!

But Crow Pose (Bakasana), for me, is a check-in.

Physically, but also mentally.

Where am I today?
Am I focused?
Am I present?
Can I trust myself here?

Some days it’s there, that steadiness, that internal focus.

And some days it’s not.

And that’s the practice.

Crow asks for:
Balance
Focus
Coordination
Core engagement
And a willingness to lean into discomfort, without panic.

It’s about finding your external and internal drishti, that steady point of focus that keeps you grounded, even when things feel a little uncertain.

And maybe most of all, it’s about learning how to fall, without fear taking over.

What actually happens in your mind when you meditate?

When you first sit down, your mind is usually busy. Thinking about everything. Jumping around. Totally normal. This is the thinking mind (Beta).

Then you bring your attention to your breath, and things start to soften a little.
Not perfect. Not silent. Just a bit slower.

You might notice moments where there’s a bit more space, where you’re not as caught up in every thought.

This is where the brain often begins to shift into a more relaxed state (Alpha).

It doesn’t happen in a straight line either. Your mind will wander, come back, wander again. That is the practice.

The brain moves fluidly, often between Alpha and deeper meditative states such as Theta, where awareness turns more inward.

Over time, you might feel more calm. Or clearer. Or just a little less reactive to everything going on. Sometimes even really deep rest (associated with Delta in certain practices such as Yoga Nidra).

And at times, there can be moments of clarity or insight, linked to higher-level integration in the brain (Gamma).

Meditation is the practice of observing your thoughts without automatically reacting to them, helping regulate the nervous system and create more space between stimulus and response.

And over time, this supports a shift in how the brain and nervous system respond, not just during practice, but throughout daily life.

If you’ve been wanting to explore this more, I offer online meditation, yoga nidra, and breathwork teacher trainings.

They are all self-paced, online, and you can start anytime.

There is so much that is out of our control.

It’s okay to acknowledge overwhelm, fear, or even outrage. It means you are human.
It means you care. It means you are a good person.

Focus on what you can control each day. Your breath. Where you place your attention.

There’s a saying, that what you focus on, you empower.

If the news feels like too much, maybe limit it to a few minutes a day.
Give yourself permission to not have to take it all in.

Instead, breathe, meditate, go for a walk (nature if you can), connect with someone you trust.

Take your practice beyond the studio 🩰

I’m so grateful to have created this 45-minute yoga class for dancers in collaboration with Manduka.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITAhs...

This practice is designed to support your body in a gentle, nourishing way, opening the hips, lengthening the hamstrings, caring for your feet, and calming the mind through breathwork and full-body relaxation.

It’s a beautiful way to bring a little more space, softness, and connection into your movement practice.

You can explore the full class and sequence through the Manduka Magazine:

If you feel called to support your practice further, you can also enjoy 15% off Manduka using my code: AMANDAINSPIRE
