Yoga Nidra - Awakening into the Self
Now available as a recorded event!
Dru Yoga Nidra is the silence that follows OM. It’s a journey that leads to samadhi and ultimately to turiya itself. In other words it’s a path to the state of enlightenment.
These very special two days of practice give you the opportunity to immerse yourself in the bliss of relaxation, and at the same time discover how to use the state of profound rest to achieve your goals, transform old patterns, develop radiant health.
As you travel through the sessions, you'll find that the experience, philosophy, science, and practice of these ancient teachings have the potential to awaken you to the essence of your being.
This 2-day online-immersion is for people who want to discover that the art of 'doing nothing' can lead to 'being more'! It will help you discover how Yoga Nidra is not only a practice of a technique but also as an utterly remarkable state of consciousness.
You will discover the difference between nidra and deep relaxation - and enjoy the benefits of both. You will explore the necessary preparations to set you up for a successful yoga nidra experience, and you’ll be taught the various ways to practice and also how to anchor your experience - honouring that this is a process that can transform your life.
During our time together our focus will be on the healing, spiritual awakening and self-empowerment aspect of Dru Yoga Nidra.
You'll be lead by Nanna Coppens, Padma MacIntyre, Rita Goswami and Andrew Wells. Nanna brings her vast experience in yoga therapeutics and restorative yoga, Padma her profound, compassionate understanding of how yoga can restore health in every aspect of life. Rita's huge knowledge of yoga vedanta will help you understand just why yoga nidra consciousness is so very powerful, and Andrew brings his experience pioneering Dru detraum techniques in post-conflict zones.
With them, you'll discover how yoga nidra is a life-changing tool that brings resilience and ease to the body, mind and spirit.
Yoga nidra is now offered by the NHS and health professionals for boosting health and wellbeing.

Please note that these techniques are powerful and are not recommended for people with medically significant mental health conditions (eg PTSD etc) unless you work one-on-one with a yoga therapist.

I have benefitted enormously from it.
I did the course during the covid pandemic lockdown. A time of anxiety and fear. The knowledge that I gained helped me to recognise and acknowledge my feelings and gave me tools to deal with them.
The yoga postures , sequences and breathing techniques that are already familiar can be used to change our emotional energy.
In the same way that we have learnt to scan our physical body for aches and pains and stiffness or injury and use yoga postures and stretches to ease ourselves , I have learnt to scan my emotional and energetic body and recognise negative thoughts and patterns and how to correct them. By doing this regularly I feel more self-confident and happy .
I remember a very powerful moment when we were doing the Eagle posture and imagining that we were looking down at ourselves and what we perceived. I thought ‘ I am cool ‘ ! That thought has stayed with me.
Nice sociable, friendly day. Great mix of activity and relaxation - positive atmosphere. I enjoyed all aspects. Hope I can remember some things to add to my yoga practice. The workshop was well organised and planned - all running very smoothly. All teachers very enthusiastic, confident and reassuring.
The workshop was warm, friendly, very interesting and mind altering. It was all inclusive, encouraging and well put together.
