Unlock the Power of Rest: A 20-Hour Yoga Nidra Training for Teachers & Seekers
At Balanced Planet Yoga, we believe in the transformative power of deep rest, Self-inquiry, and accessible, science-backed practices. This 20-hour Yoga Nidra Teacher Training is designed for yoga teachers, wellness professionals, and dedicated practitioners who want to dive into the profound wisdom of yoga nidra—not just as a relaxation technique but as a tool for healing, self-awareness, and deep personal transformation.
Taught through the lens of authentic yoga philosophy, neuroscience, and practical application, this training will empower you to understand, experience, and confidently guide others through Yoga Nidra. Drawing from the Mandukya Upanishad, the four states of consciousness (Waking, Dreaming, Deep Sleep, and Turiya), and the teachings of Swami Saraswati, this course goes beyond the script to explore how Yoga Nidra works, why it matters, and how to make it your own.
What You'll Learn:
✔️ The History & Philosophy of Yoga Nidra – From Vedic texts to modern adaptations
✔️ The Neuroscience of Sleep, Rest, and the Subconscious Mind
✔️ The Koshas (Five Layers of Being) and Their Role in Deep Healing
✔️ The Four States of Consciousness (Jagrat, Swapna, Sushupti, and Turiya)
✔️ How to Structure a Yoga Nidra Script – Beyond the Basics
✔️ Voice, Pace & Presence – The Art of Holding Space
✔️ The Science of Intention (Sankalpa) and Its Role in Transformation
✔️ How to Use Yoga Nidra for Stress, Trauma, and Sleep Disorders
✔️ Practical Applications for Teaching in Yoga Studios, Corporate Wellness, and Clinical Settings
Why This Training?
🌀 Not Just a Script-Based Course – You will leave understanding the ‘why’ behind the method so you can guide from an authentic, intuitive place.
🌀 Rooted in Tradition & Science – We bridge the wisdom of the Mandukya Upanishad with modern research on the nervous system.
🌀 Experiential Learning – This isn’t just theory. You will experience Yoga Nidra as a practice, a state of being, and learn how to confidently guide it.
🌀 Inclusive & Trauma-Informed – Learn to create a safe, accessible, and adaptable Yoga Nidra practice for all populations.

This training is heart-centered, immersive, and highly practical. Cheryl Van Sciver and the BPY team believe that Yoga Nidra is more than relaxation—it's a portal to profound healing and self-discovery. You’ll leave this training not only with a certification to teach Yoga Nidra, but with a deeper personal connection to the practice and the skills to guide others toward stillness in an overstimulated world.
Are you ready to go beyond relaxation and explore what’s possible beyond wakefulness, dreaming, deep sleep, and further?
✨ Join us. Deep rest and exploration of our inner world is a revolution. ✨You do not need to be a yoga teacher to do this training.
