This is Part 1.Part 2 completes the certification.
Open to all.
Call or email to get on contact list for more information. 

Read Gurudev's article:
"The Biology, Psychology and Spirituality of Yoga Nidra"

Description:
The Amrit Method of Yoga Nidra represents the marriage of science and sprit. It is an ancient form of meditation that takes you into the deepest levels of relaxation while still remaining fully aware.

When practicing the Amrit Method of Yoga Nidra, your brainwaves drop into the alpha and theta state. You completely shift out of identification with the body, mind and ego. In this deep state beyond ordinary waking consciousness, you naturally re-align with spirit, allowing you to effortlessly disengage from restrictive physical, mental and emotional patterns. Here, you are free to create a life that is an expression of higher consciousness, rather than acquired conditioning.

Experience the miraculous transformation of Yoga Nidra for yourself.

Professional applications include:

• Yoga teachers and studio owners—extend your services to those who cannot do a traditional yoga practice
• Massage therapists and healing professionals—extend your therapeutic services to a greater circle of clients.

Gurudev Shri Amritji (Yogi Amrit Desai)
An internationally recognized authority on yoga and holistic living, Yogi Desai began teaching yoga in 1960, making him one of the earliest pioneers of yoga in the West. The methodology he developed has evolved into the Amrit Method, which he continues to refine. Today, his approach is practiced by thousands around the world, with certified teachers in 37 countries. Yogi Desai's teachings contain a powerful experiential component that creates profound shifts for those who are ready, receptive and open. He has integrated ancient wisdom into a practical methodology for dealing with the challenges of modern life.
