Yoga Nidra Practices Covered During the Training


During our Yoga Nidra teacher training in Rishikesh, you will learn and practice various techniques designed to promote deep relaxation and self-awareness. Here are the significant practices covered during the course.

Basic Relaxation

A foundational practice that helps to release physical tension from the body and calm the mind. Every Yoga Nidra practitioner and teacher starts here — learning to guide both self and students into a completely relaxed state.

Body Scan

A technique that involves focusing attention on different parts of the body to promote deep relaxation and awareness. The body scan is the backbone of traditional Yoga Nidra and teaches students to systematically release tension from head to toe.

Breath Awareness

A practice that involves focusing on the breath to cultivate a sense of calm and tranquillity. Breath awareness serves as an anchor throughout the Yoga Nidra session and draws students into deeper states of conscious sleep.

Visualisations

Techniques involving imagery of different scenes or scenarios to promote relaxation and self-awareness. Visualisations are one of the most powerful tools in Yoga Nidra — they work directly with the subconscious mind to release stored tension and patterns.

Chakra Balancing

A practice that focuses on the energy centres in the body to promote balance and harmony. Students learn how to guide Yoga Nidra sessions that move awareness through each chakra, creating deep energetic alignment.

Sankalpa

The practice of setting an intention or positive affirmation during the receptive state of Yoga Nidra to help manifest positive change. Sankalpa is considered one of the most transformative elements of the practice — a seed planted in fertile soil.

Nidra for Sleep & Healing

Specialised Yoga Nidra sequences designed to improve the quality of sleep, promote restful sleep and release emotional blocks. Learn how to adapt the practice for students struggling with insomnia or processing difficult emotions.

Nidra for Manifestation & Spiritual Growth

Advanced techniques that help manifest goals and intentions by tapping into the subconscious mind, along with practices that promote self-awareness and deepen the connection with the inner self and the universe. The most profound expression of the Yoga Nidra tradition.
