Location

Nin Yoga Penrith

Please note that students are expected to attend all in-person training days live. If you need to miss part of the training due to illness or unforeseen circumstances, recordings will be available through the online learning platform for catch up and revision.

9:15am - 4:15pm at Nin Yoga Penrith. All classes include a 60 minute lunch break.

Even though this training is designed primarily for those who already have experience teaching yoga and want to expand their offerings through Yoga Nidra, you are still absolutely welcome to join us for personal practice, self-development, or professional interest.

Please note, however, that if you are not already a certified 200 Hour Yoga Teacher, we are unable to register this training with Yoga Alliance as continuing education for you.

According to Yoga Alliance guidelines, students must first complete a 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training before additional specialised trainings can be formally recognised within their certification pathway.

Yes, absolutely.

If you complete your 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training at a later date, you are then welcome to submit your 20 Hour Yoga Nidra Training certification through Yoga Alliance as continuing education.

Once this happens, we can easily approve your training hours through the Yoga Alliance system.

This training is heavily inspired by the teachings and methodology of Swami Satyananda Saraswati, whose work helped bring Yoga Nidra into modern yoga education and practice.

Together, we will explore the traditional structure of Yoga Nidra, including:
• Sankalpa (intention)
• body rotation of consciousness
• breath awareness
• visualization techniques
• nervous system regulation
• deep states of relaxation and awareness

We will also integrate modern understandings of trauma awareness, nervous system support, and accessible facilitation techniques to help you confidently guide practices in contemporary yoga and wellness spaces.

Suzie Q’s teaching is also informed by her additional studies through:
• Sukawati Yoga School Indonesia
• My Vinyasa Practice
• iRest Level 1 Training

This creates a training that feels grounded in traditional teachings while still being practical, modern, and deeply relevant for today’s students.

You can either pay for the course in full or sign up for the direct debit payment plan. From there, we will send you an onboarding form so we can learn more about you.

We accept no more than 20 students in a single round. Everything possible is ensured so that you can get the most out of your course with individualised homework and group work.

The cost includes:
• the full 20 Hour Yoga Nidra Training
• all in-person training sessions
• access to the online learning platform and recordings
• homework and additional resources
• your copy of Yoga Nidra by Swami Satyananda Saraswati
• your 20 Hour Yoga Nidra Training Certificate upon completion

You will continue to have access to the recordings after graduation so you can revisit the teachings and practices in your own time.

Nin Yoga and Kaya Academy are a Registered Yoga School (RYS) with Yoga Alliance, an internationally recognised yoga education association based in the United States.

This Yoga Nidra Training is a 20 Hour advanced training designed for yoga teachers and dedicated practitioners wanting to deepen their understanding of rest, nervous system regulation, meditation, and the traditional practice of Yoga Nidra.

If you are already a certified 200 Hour Yoga Teacher, these 20 hours can be added to your continuing education and professional development hours through Yoga Alliance.

Additional trainings like this are often used by teachers to continue expanding their knowledge, maintain professional development, and deepen specialised areas of study throughout their teaching career.

Students are required to attend at least 80% of the training live in person to successfully complete the course.

We understand that life happens, so if there is a session you are unable to attend, please let us know as early as possible. In most cases, missed content can be completed through recordings and catch-up work via our online learning platform.

All missed sessions must be made up in some way in order to graduate from the training.

If circumstances outside of your control prevent you from completing more than 80% of the course, you are welcome to repeat the training one additional time in the future at no extra course cost.

This training is designed to feel supportive, practical, and encouraging rather than overly academic or intimidating.

Throughout the course, you will continue developing your teaching skills through group discussions, practice teaching, self-reflection, and feedback from Suzie Q and the training group.

There will also be a small number of quizzes based on certain modules throughout the training. These quizzes are multiple choice, completed online, and can be repeated if needed. They are simply designed to help reinforce your understanding of the material rather than “catch you out.”

If a student is ever struggling with part of the course content, additional support, practice, or reassessment can usually be organised within the timeframe of the training.

Towards the end of the course, students will:
• create their own Yoga Nidra class plan or script
• guide part of a Yoga Nidra practice in a group setting
• receive supportive feedback and guidance

The goal of assessment in this training is not perfection. It is helping you build confidence, understanding, and the ability to safely and authentically hold space for others.

Upon achieving your Certificate of Training from Nin Yoga, you then need to take your First Aid and CPR Course Certification at your own discretion. After both of these are completed, you are free to apply for your insurance (Yoga Teachers Professional Indemnity and Public Liability Insurance). You may apply through any insurance provider you choose, and is highly recommen before leading classes with anyone, anywhere.

Insurance is required by many Yoga Studios and venues in order to teach, including at Nin Yoga.

Continuing education is really valuable for additional learning, support, inspiration, and to keep you in contact with your teachers and peers. It’s also a requirement of continuing membership of many yoga associations, including Yoga Alliance if you choose to join.

Nin Yoga offers advanced workshops & specialist teacher trainings for ongoing support after your training.

All of these can count toward your continued learning and some towards your next level of Teacher Training if you are registered with Yoga Alliance. See each individual program for more information.

You will be part of a Facebook & Whatsapp group even after the training. Our teachers are always welcome for extra 1:1 sessions if needed (at an extra fee), otherwise, simply continuing to do Yin Yoga as a student and doing for favourite form of meditation daily are also just as wonderful.

Stay up to date with our Newsletter and with your teachers and fellow classmates to continue to stay in the loop.

Upon successful completion of the training, you will receive a 20 Hour Yoga Nidra Training Certificate through Kaya Academy and Nin Yoga.

If you are already a certified 200 Hour Yoga Teacher, these training hours can also be added as continuing education and advanced training hours through Yoga Alliance.
