Yoga Nidra: Restore Your Energy

With Kamini Desai, PhD

This course is for anyone who wants to regain vitality, and a balanced perspective, and find healthy ways to deal with an uneasy mind. It is designed to counteract low energy/burnout/exhaustion/brain fog using various techniques of Yoga Nidra. Guided by Kamini Desai Ph.D., this is a 10-module course and each session is no more than 15 mins per day. This course is ideal for beginners who want to be guided into new meditation techniques as well as experienced practitioners. What you’ll learn: Yoga Nidra is an ancient sleep-based meditation technique that initiates profound shifts through its restorative and meditative benefits. While regenerating your body, helps you create a different relationship with the mind that creates stress and exhaustion. In this course, you will journey into the body to optimally rejuvenate and restore body and mind through a total internalization of attention. You will learn techniques to redirect and ground the anxious mind and interrupt the momentum of stress both in practice and throughout your day. This course is a great introduction to some of the foundational concepts and principles of I AM Yoga Nidra, and is a great way to learn more.
