Sankalpa Rising: Yoga Nidra Certification
November 7–9, 2025 | DDY Atlanta + Digital Pre-Work
30-Hour Yoga Alliance Continuing Education
Rest is a revolution. Sleep is a practice. Sankalpa is the vow.
Yoga Nidra is a journey through the subtle body into the truth of who you are. Known as “yogic sleep,” this powerful meditation guides you beyond conscious thought and into deep rest—where old patterns dissolve, nervous systems reset, and the voice of your soul can be heard again.
In Sankalpa Rising, you’ll learn how to skillfully guide others into this sacred space. Through the lens of the koshas (energetic layers of self) and the transformative power of Sankalpa (soul vow), this hybrid training blends ancient philosophy, practical tools, and trauma-informed teaching into one deeply embodied offering.
Whether you’re a yoga teacher, space-holder, therapist, or seeker, this training invites you to rest, remember, and rise.
