June 8 - 12, 2022
Are you ready to be a Shavasana Expert? The world needs rest, sleep and deep relaxation. Clarity of mind, physical health and emotional balance lead to focused, healthy and clear minded individuals and society as such. Sleep has been declared as an epidemic as per WHO. As a society we are both sleep and rest deprived! With the depth of this training and your practice, this training will equip you to guide yourself and others into the practice of shavasana. Don’t jump to the practice of Yoga nidra without equipping yourself with Shavasana training.
In the present times when there are abundant stimuli, shavasana is the practice of sensory relaxation, consolidation and re-direction (pratyahara), a practice to retain the ojas, radiate tejas and uplift prana. It is a precise, conscious and step-by-step approach in-order to prepare the body and mind for higher states of awareness, Yoga Nidra and Yoga as such. We will delve into the how, when, why of Shavasana from a theoretical to a practical standpoint. Take home with you a very powerful tool of healing in today’s world.
