My journey with meditation & yoga has been evolving for over 25 years, exploring an exquisite array of practices, technique & lineages. In my experience the practices of Yogic Meditation - including yoga nidra (yogic sleep) pranayama (breathwork), ajapa japa (internal mantra) & antar mouna (mindfulness) - coupled with a technique for self study, such as fellowship, journaling & therapy - is a system of profound self transformation. I dearly love these practices, a alchemical mix of simple techniques that (if given due time) will transform you mind, body & soul - it’s a sure fire system for experiencing samadhi - in a way that is subtle, steadfast and sustainable. As I progress further as a teacher & a student, I hope to go deeper & share wider the practice & experience available with this ancient system of personal wisdom. Please take a look a my little video, it’s my pleasure to share, would love to hear your thoughts!
Yoga Nidra is a profound practice of deep rest & emotional refinement. ☺️ Regular practice of Yoga Nidra has been shown to improve sleep 💤reduce anxiety 👌 & cultivate an emotional state within which we can begin to ease deep held tension & resolve complex trauma. Yoga Nidra is one of the most potent of all the yogic meditation practices, and this great potential is enhanced by the fact that it is easy & often joyful to practice. 🌈 In this video I explain the outline & some of the benefits of the practice, as well as some of my personal journey with the technique. #yoganidra #philosophy
I was recently invited to join my dear friend Supriya Roy on her podcast to discuss meditation as it relates to yoga and my journey as a yogi, meditation practitioner & teacher. It was a wonderful convo, we covered a lot of ground and I shared a bit about my own journey with the practices, the Satyananda yoga lineage & my current courses & offerings. If you are interested, please check it out and let me know what you think.
Stanford University Neuroscientist explains Yoga Nidra and how it can benefit stress reduction, improved cognitive ability and improved sleep. There's lots of great stuff in here, Andrew Huberman is a font of wisdom when it comes to biohacking through behavioural tools. Amongst other great info, there is clear evidence demonstrated to show that a 20 min practice of yoga nidra after a period of intense focus accelerates neuro-plasticity (learning) by about 50%.
In this video Dr. Andrew Huberman talks about Yoga Nidra and it's benefits such as optimal performance and recovery.
That sounds like an awesome idea Jade Nicholson . This site will also remain active, we plan on improving it a lot and adding more content over time, but maintaining connection with alumni is what it is really all about.
Hiya Violetta Znorkowski - this is the vocal booth that I use, I bought it off Amazon. Although I think your idea of hiding under the pillows sounds more fun & Thiago Teixeira ’s idea of pillows in a box sounds ace as well. :) 
Hi Fiona Sullivan Julie - no we don't need you to upload the journals until the end of the course - see Assignment # 4 - https://sangam.one/page/view-class?id=17
Thanks Mark! I'm glad you think the language was good, it's something I feel I need to practice a lot more. It's been so long and I'm used to being fun and sassy when teaching adults these days. I learnt this morning that demonstrating FYB while trying to explain it at the same time is verrrry difficult. Gotta learn things the hard way sometimes, haha.
Yes it's really hard to narrate pranayama whilst practicing it, particularly whilst inhaling lol - but you can use your hands as a visual reference which can be helpful. Ultimately a meditation / yoga teachers toolkit are all of our 'phrases' that we can use to describe how to do something. That's why having a personal practice & not relying on scripts is essential. And whilst I can give you all of the guidance and advice that I can muster, the only way to truly become a teacher is to teach. I'm impressed, keep it up, Aum & Prem.
