Yoga Nidra Facilitator Training Level 1

Our Yoga Nidra Facilitator Training Level 1 deepens your ability to hold space in a group, deal with challenging moments, and be the voice of calm in chaos. Whether you choose to facilitate guided meditation or use the skills to lead a ‘moment of calm’ before a meeting, this training will support you in supporting others. (Yoga Nidra Immersion is a prerequisite for this training) Application deadline is 10/20 Level 1 is a two day training designed to give you a foundation in leading Yoga Nidra guided meditation. This course is created to support those of us doing care work and organizing through difficult times. It is an opportunity for activists, teachers, yoga instructors, bodyworkers, healthcare providers, and anyone that is organizing, leading and providing care for others while simultaneously caring for themselves. Over our weekend together, and then continuing the practice with recorded Nidra and journaling prompts, participants will walk away with distinct skills for working with others in group settings: Day One: Yoga philosophy for revolutionary practice Critical review of ableism, anti-fat bias, and the impact of language Nervous System overview & applications of meditation Accessible yoga for third spaces and off the mat Preparing ourselves to lead and facilitate group practice Setting the space: creating inclusive spaces for traumatizing times Day Two: Basics of a Yoga Nidra script Scope of practice - leading with integrity Yoga Nidra and harm reduction Teaching special populations Adaptions & Adjustments - creating flexible containers of care Nidra benefits: yoga philosophy meets neuroscience At Home follow up (you have 90 days to complete and submit the assignments) Opportunity to use DayDream as practice space and build community Final project review and feedback on your recorded Nidra practice. No prior yoga experience is required aside from our Yoga Nidra Immersion. All of the skills can be adapted depending on what is needed and within your scope of practice. Time commitment is 2 weekend days (November 7 + 8, 11-5) and then 3 hours of at home practice. Once you have submitted your final project you will be invited to Level 2 of the training (scheduled for Sunday 11/15). The Yoga Nidra Immersion (either 4 week or is a prerequisite for this training.
