20-Hour Yoga Nidra Teacher Training
with Taryn Diamond
February 27- March 1, 2026
Over one weekend, Taryn offers a comprehensive introduction to yoga nidra.
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.
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 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
- Attendance at all contact hours is mandatory for certification. If contact hours must be missed, make-up hours can be booked at a rate of $100/hour with the program instructor(s).
