Who is this course for?
You do not need to be a yoga teacher to attend this training as the skills of delivering a yoga nidra practice stand alone.
There have been sound therapists, coaches, counsellors, psychotherapists, breathwork teachers, sleep coaches, and an occupational therapist on the training as well as yoga teachers.
The most important qualities to bring are a willingness to take part and a curiosity to see where these skills can take you!
