Yoga Nidra, often called “the sleep of the yogi,” invites a state of deep, conscious rest—one that allows the body and mind to settle while awareness remains gently awake. Rooted in ancient teachings and supported by modern understanding, the practice creates the conditions for rest that is both nourishing and renewing.
From this receptive state, we reconnect with the truest self and the quiet potential already present within us, often emerging refreshed, grounded, and more closely aligned with what matters most. With regular practice, Yoga Nidra can support the release of long-held patterns and inner holding, creating space for greater clarity, joy, and a way of living that feels more authentic and easeful.

“I thoroughly enjoyed this course! You provided a wealth of information, so much more than a traditional 35 hour training, so thank you…I love that we can continue to access this information and your amazing meditations. The training was recommended to me by a fellow teacher, so I will continue to spread the word.”
“I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to expand their knowledge, not only of the human body, but the spiritual approaches to our dynamic and sacred practice. Sagel’s passion and wisdom are amazing. So inspiring!”
“Thank you for a truly lovely training. I received more than I hoped for. I’ve been practicing Yoga Nidra fairly regularly, so I thought I had a good foundation for the course (in addition to my 200hr yoga teacher training). But this training gave me so much knowledge of the practice, its history, and ability to really explore Yoga Nidra in my body."
"I found the lectures interesting and easy to follow. Thanks for making these teachings accessible and thanks for the useful tools we now have. I hope my Nidra practice helps to keep me healthy and centered and look forward to going ever deeper into relaxation and receptivity as I practice more."
“I can’t thank you enough for putting your Online Yoga Nidra Teacher Training together. I loved that I was able to dive in and step back when I needed to. It really allowed me to focus on the material and stay present.”
"This program was more than a traditional training on “how to teach yoga”, because it addressed the type of world we are living in, and how Nidra is greatly needed. This course made me appreciate Yoga Nidra even more, and also made me more committed to teaching it to others.”
"Thank you for the online Yoga Nidra training. My husband and I have done the 7-day challenge and are continuing regular practice thanks to this program. I look forward to doing the meditations over and over."
"I would recommend this training for sure! It is very well informed, your voice is so soothing, and I really appreciate the format of going at your own pace. This was a very meaningful, moving, expansive, insightful, heart-loving training for me, thank you."
"This is truly a wonderful training! Sagel is so knowledgeable, you come away with a deep understanding of the practice and tradition. I also love that I can always refer back to any part of the training for review. I am so glad I took this training last year and now share this transformative practice with classes. Thank you, Sagel, for sharing your knowledge and gift!!!"
