20-Hour Yoga Nidra Teacher Training

with Taryn Diamond

Friday, February 21- Sunday, February 23, 2025

Yoga boasts a wealth of subtle practices, the kind that surprise one with their efficacy and simplicity. This training invites participants into a relationship with one of yoga’s subtle gems: Yoga Nidra. Walk away with both the confidence and excitement to offer this practice to yourself, your family or your students. This program is about more than becoming a nidra teacher, this is about equipping you with the know-how to rest and relieve stress. Yoga nidra is an effective tool for new parents, caregivers, seasoned students and instructors alike. This program is one-of-a-kind and barrier-free: all bodies, all levels of experience (including none!) are welcomed.

Taryn is a certified Continuing Education Provider with the American Yoga Alliance. For those of you who have a 200 hour certification with the YA, you are able to count this course as continuing education credits.

The program will:

• Ground the modalities of yoga nidra within the larger context of yoga philosophy;
• Train you in teaching the art of yoga nidra, including leading in-person and online classes, best practices and script preparation;
• Equip participants with the tools to walk away and teach a nidra class and enhance their asana classes with nidra practices;
• Empower participants with stress-reduction tools including simple breath work and gentle movement.

Program requirements:

• Practice yoga nidra at home (using my recordings) at least twice and send Taryn a brief note on your experience
• Draft one stage of the practice with specific language and intention
• Record one stage and send it to Taryn for feedback
• Take home exam
• Expect a minimum of 2 hours asynchronous study for homework & assignments

Testimonials:

“Taryn has a beautiful ability to take a complex concept and intertwine multiple pieces of the puzzle together to form a broader view at hand. She incorporates and pulls from anatomy, psychology, movement, and weaves together a wonderful program. Taryn creates an environment that is comfortable and empowering to her students”

“Your thoughtful feedback has furthered my thinking and I appreciate your openness to dialoguing to reach shared understandings. I feel like this is your authentic nature, Taryn- you are a caring, knowledgeable, and positive instructor where judgment is not a ‘thing’”
