When someone whose work has shaped the way many of us think about teaching yoga offers words like these, they carry weight.
“In The Heart of Yoga Nidra, Sagel Urlacher has written a comprehensive—even definitive—guide on how teachers can guide themselves and their students to deeper connection and balance through intentional rest. Here, readers will find everything they need to develop yoga nidra sessions that stay true to the spirit of the practice while also expressing the unique voice of each teacher who guides it and adapting to the unique needs of the students who follow it. This book is both wonderfully practical and deeply profound. It's joining Urlacher's Yin Yoga and Meditation as a textbook in my advanced studies yoga teacher training!”
—Sage Rountree, PhD, E-RYT500, author of Teaching Yoga Beyond the Poses and The Art of Yoga Sequencing
The Heart of Yoga Nidra was written with heartfelt intention to support yoga teachers and dedicated practitioners — those who seek to remain true to the roots of Yoga Nidra while developing and guiding sessions that are responsive, embodied, and uniquely their own.
From the beginning, my intention was not simply to outline the stages of Yoga Nidra, but to offer a companion for teachers — one that bridges traditional yogic philosophy, practical sequencing, refined language, and embodied presence. A guide designed to support integrity and authenticity in equal measure.
To see The Heart of Yoga Nidra welcomed into advanced yoga teacher trainings is deeply meaningful. It affirms that there is space within our teaching community for work that honors the spirit of the practice while encouraging teachers to cultivate their own voice.
If you are a yoga teacher, teacher trainer, or dedicated practitioner seeking a grounded and comprehensive approach to Yoga Nidra, I hope this book serves you well.
