Pathways Academy of Life presents a 10-day curriculum in the ancient art of yoga nidra, exploring its traditions, psychology, philosophy, and techniques for self-realization. This training offers a practical way to bring timeless teachings into modern life, supporting greater balance, inner peace, and fulfillment. It reflects the understanding that we are multi-dimensional beings of mind, body, emotions, and soul, with the subtle body playing a central role in our overall wellness and sense of wholeness.
At the heart of the course is the idea that lasting inner peace begins with changing how we see and respond to life. The training invites participants to understand the subtle body and its workings more deeply, including the role of the subconscious mind as the storehouse of life experiences, impressions, and psychic scars. You will explore how the subconscious shapes our persona, influences our reactions, and can be healed through direct positive suggestion. The conscious mind, analytical and rational, will also be examined as part of this process.
Through yoga nidra, participants learn how to withdraw the conscious mind and plant healing suggestions directly into the subconscious. These suggestions are offered in the positive, as if already fulfilled, and through repetition they become powerful tools for transformation. The training also introduces the language of the subconscious, including images, symbols, feelings, words, and repetition, along with the effects of this practice on how we experience life.
Who is this for
This training is designed for those who want to transform their lives, awaken and merge with their soul, deepen their understanding and experience of yoga, and heal themselves and others through the wisdom of the ancient yoga nidra tradition. It is also ideal for teachers who want to take their work to a deeper level and support students in healing how they see and react to life.
The cost is R18 500.00 and includes accommodation, all meals, daily teacher training and certification, daily yoga classes, course materials, training manual, class videos, yoga nidra audio recordings, and weekend excursions.
