This course is for you if you’re curious about the silence within and are fascinated by the power of the mind. You do not need prior experience in yoga or yoga teaching.

Frequently asked question (FAQ)
You do not need prior experience or practice to start Module 1. You DO NOT need to be a certified Yoga Teacher. However, you will need to complete Module 1 before starting Module 2.
No. This course is not a substitute for the established Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) courses, such as the YTT-200, YTT-300 and YTT-500.
Do, however, note that completing this course will qualify you to teach the practice of Yoga Nidra under the guidance of a teacher at Amrutha Bindu Yoga.
Yes, of course! Module 1 can be taken up stand-alone.
Do note that Modules 1 and 2 may be done even by those who want to practice and understand Yoga Nidra, without any desires to be a teacher.
4. Do I need to complete all Modules within a year? Is there any time limit to complete all Modules?
No. You can pace yourself to complete the Modules. We offer the flexibility to complete different Modules at any time that they may be scheduled. Do, however, note that you will receive your certificate as a Yoga Nidra teacher only after completing all three Modules.
We recommend the use of a yoga mat or a comfortable blanket to place on the floor for this practice. Further, since the practice of Yoga Nidra involves long periods of lying down, you may use a blanket/ duvet and a neck pillow, based on your convenience.
