40H Yoga Nidra Foundation

upcoming training

A Journey into Embodied Spirituality

Enter the Healing Space of Deep Rest

Yoga Nidra is more than a method. It is a doorway into presence, a sanctuary of stillness, and a bridge between the everyday and the vast light of the soul.

This 40H foundation training invites you to explore Yoga Nidra as both a deeply personal practice and a skill you can share with others. 

Together, we will weave tradition, philosophy, and science into a living, embodied experience of rest and awareness.

Over two weekends, we will explore Yoga Nidra as both a deeply healing practice and a powerful teaching tool. You will learn to guide sessions with authenticity, develop your own daily practice, and discover how Yoga Nidra can transform body, mind, and spirit.

Who Is This Yoga Nidra Training For?

  • Yoga teachers wishing to expand their toolkit
  • Therapists & coaches working with nervous system regulation
  • Practitioners longing for deep rest, clarity, and spiritual transformation

This foundation training is for you if you feel the call to:

  • Understand relaxation, the nervous system, and the nature of sleep.
  • Learn how to teach Yoga Nidra with confidence and create your own scripts.
  • Begin or deepen a spiritual journey of surrender and transformation.
  • Build a daily practice that nurtures resilience and awakens creativity.
  • Answer the longing for stillness, silence, and inner renewal.

No prior experience is required—only an openness to rest and explore the inner landscapes of being.

What You’ll Learn

In this 40H training, we focus on the first three layers of the self:

  • Annamaya Kosha – the physical body
  • Pranamaya Kosha – the energy body
  • Manomaya Kosha – the mental-emotional body

     

Through practice, theory, and self-inquiry you will experience: 

  • Two daily Yoga Nidra practices
  • Morning sessions with meditation, mantra, pranayama, and asana
  • Foundations of Yoga Nidra: history, philosophy, koshas, pratyahara
  • The power of Sankalpa (intention) as a seed of transformation
  • Exploring physical, energetic & emotional bodies (Anna-, Prana-, and Manomaya Kosha)
  • Introduction to different Nidra styles (Bihar, iRest, Clear Light, etc.)
  • Teaching methodology: writing and guiding 30–40 minute Nidras
  • Scientific background: brainwaves, sleep, and nervous system regulation
  • Practice teaching in group and 1:1 settings
  • Personal feedback on your guided recording

Why Yoga Nidra?

Yoga Nidra is both rest and revelation. It soothes the nervous system, supports sleep, and enhances resilience. It opens the mind to creativity and clarity. And at its heart, it is a gateway to deep states of awareness and bliss.

Some of the benefits you may experience include:

  • Profound relaxation and nervous system regulation
  • Better sleep and release of stress and anxiety
  • Relief from chronic pain and tension
  • Clarity, creativity, and a stronger connection to intuition
  • A taste of bliss, unity, and inner freedom

        About Flavia

        I am an international yoga teacher (E-RYT), Shamanic Reiki Master, and mentor. For almost 10 years, Yoga Nidra has been my daily companion—supporting me through chronic pain, guiding me into deeper self-connection, and teaching me the power of rest.

        Yoga Nidra has been at the heart of my practice and teaching for nearly a decade. I first encountered it during a teacher training in Peru, and it has since transformed my life—helping me recover from chronic pain, regulate stress, and discover a new rhythm of creativity and rest.

        I have studied with teachers such as Michele Loew (Clear Light Yoga Nidra, blending Vajrayana Buddhism with classical Yoga Nidra) and bring influences from many traditions, always sharing in a way that is accessible, nourishing, and deeply transformative.

        "I really enjoyed the training. We were a lovely little group who shared a lot in a short space of time. I hope we can find a date for part 2. Yoga Nidra is so multi-layered and creative, and everything changes as soon as you let calmness into your everyday life. I feel like I've come one step closer to my true nature."

        – Latoya, 2025

        "I really enjoyed the training. It was a great mix of theory, practice, and application. You can tell that a lot of love and passion went into the training. Even though it was only two weekends, I find it fascinating that the Yoga Nidra practice triggered a process in me. Above all, I realized that I find it very difficult to do nothing at all, so I was particularly inspired by the fact that I have now found a tool in Yoga Nidra to practice this. I incorporated this into my travels and, for example, practiced it every day when we arrived at our destination during our 8-day trek. I also found the scientific background and the direct experience of the transformative power very exciting. And the script is also great."

        – Sarah, 2023

        “Dear Flavia, your teachings are profound and authentic. I am impressed by your knowledge and your ability to hold the space. Above all, I am impressed by your authenticity and how you embody your knowledge as lived wisdom. You can feel that you are following your heart's path—your "path of heart"—and that is incredibly inspiring!”

        – Yoko Lüthi, 2025/6

        "Flavia brought incredible strength and positive qualities to the training. Her leadership was inspiring, creating a safe and supportive space for me to grow. Her time management ensured the program flowed seamlessly, allowing her to cover a lot while staying balanced. Her clear boundaries provided structure and respect for everyone’s experience. Additionally, her deep knowledge of yoga philosophy and her ability to embody the teachings made her guidance truly impactful."
