What Nectar of Nidrā Students Say
A Note from Kaya
Mystical sleep is simultaneously accessible & advanced. This sleep of yoga can simply and effectively address the most complex of concerns in a loving, gentle way that opens whatever doorway the student is ready for. There is no forcing, no manipulating…. in the techniques we use here there is simply opening the doorway for the student.
Sharing yoga nidrā with others itself is a path of practice in deep service to healing, transformation and the yogic journey.
From relaxation to release of karmic patterns to inner awakening a guided awareness session gently opens multiple doorways to the profound landscape of the conscious divine sleep.
Love, Kaya
FAQ
Yes. Kaya just recorded Nectar of Nidra in January – February 2024. So, the program is self-paced. Dont worry. It feels LIVE. It’s very engaging. And you can still send Qs in for Kaya to respond to.
This is a training in how to guide others which results in a “certification”. . You’ll have 30 hours of training and be really well equipped. Not just with the purpose, philosophy and technique but also fitting it in with other offerings and even a bit on marketing, so people can benefit from your offering. Nectar of Nidrā is a required component of yoga certifications with Kaya but can be attended as a stand-alone module training.
