Yoga Nidra is also known as ‘guided sleep meditation’ or ‘yogic sleep’. In which the practice takes you on a deep journey through the different levels and layers of your being (Koshas). This guided meditation is generally practiced in a laying down position (Savasana) with a strategic script and a Sankapla (intention) in place.
Not only can Yoga Nidra help reduce stress, anxiety and fatigue. During the deep state of relaxation that yoga nidra induces, an awareness of one’s surroundings is increased and that receptivity and learning abilities are enhanced.
The stages of body scan and breath awareness alone can be practiced to calm the nervous system, leading to less stress and better health.

Shift Into Rest & Relaxation
(Registered with Yoga Alliance)
Coming Soon
Restorative Yoga uses props, shapes and time spent to create comfort, safety and deep relaxation in the body. This practice calms and relaxes the entire nervous system. It invites you to cultivate more spaciousness and compassion in both mind and body.
It can increase circulation to vital organs, strengthen immunity, and promote conscious relaxation. This practice allows you to slow down. Our busy, stressful lives, often create resistance, stress and tension in our bodies. Restorative Yoga teaches the body resiliency and recovery as we flow between the stress response (surviving), and our natural state (thriving). Shifting into deep rest and relaxation can still the busy mind, improve capacity for healing, boost our immune system, balance our nervous system and it promotes qualities of compassion and understanding towards ourselves and others.

Please reach us at Ashleymichelle@theyogadome.ca if you cannot find an answer to your question.
These are mainly an ‘in-person‘ trainings.
Some hours will be completed on your own time via the path of homework, reading, writing and reflection. In person trainings offer quality and consistency and allow space and time for Q & A, hands on work as well as community building.
The Yoga Dome is a warm, safe and inviting space. We allow students the use of all our props & tools. Mats, blankets, blocks and bolsters. Complimentary tea & water are always available.
At this time we are accepting 8 participants for trainings as this ensures quality over quantity.
We understand that things can happen however all Yoga Teacher Trainings require 100% attendance as each section builds on the other. If you miss a session, you can book a private session to catch up. You’ll be charged an additional cost of $85 + HST per hour (if you missed 3–4 hours of work, this is usually covered in 1-2 hours). Or you may have the option to re-take the portion of the session missed during our next scheduled training which is normally scheduled a year out. You will not receive a certificate of completion until 100% of the training is completed.
Whatever makes you feel most comfortable. Some people like additional props for themselves. Bring along a refillable water bottle, snacks and lunch. As well as your own writing materials for notes.
In short, the answer is no. However, it is highly encouraged to take a 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training as the training will lend to skills, understanding and knowledge.
