created by your two guides Claudia Menger & Rachel Brownbridge. 

“THIS TRAINING IS EVERYTHING WE SEE AS VITAL FOR REST EMBODIMENT, EDUCATION AND LIBERATION... DURING THESE 12 WEEKS TOGETHER WE LEARN AND EMBODY THE TRANSFORMATIONAL PRACTICES OF REST.”

Thank you for sharing so generously of all your wisdom and knowledge, letting us in on one of the most important life skills there is; rest. I am in awe of your knowledge, empathy, patience, and warmth. I have felt seen, understood, and included.

This is a hybrid training: starting in the best way with a weekend immersion at Nøsen Fjellhotell in the Norwegian mountains and then continuing online over 12 weeks on Zoom.

Why Yoga Nidra & Deep Rest?

Yoga Nidra is quickly becoming a trusted & effective practice, used in a variety of professional settings. Not only is it accessible for many, but it also counteracts the current Unrested society we live in.
Yoga Nidra has been successfully used in support of the treatment of PTSD, pain/chronic pain, menstrual discomfort, and improving sleep through practicing regularly. Other important ways in which it supports us from the inside out, is through enhancing our creativity, focus, cognitive functioning, and memory. A gentle yet profound practice that works based on creating safety within the mind-body connection before guiding the listener into various intentional exercises that can access subconscious, somatic & belief patterns to encourage a return to neutral.
Because of its adaptogenic properties, the practice becomes a daily source of receiving what you need that day and continues to evolve in use.
The more Rested we feel the more connected we are to our authentic selves. Decision-making and choosing a place of rest has the potential to transform our lives for happiness & health and to fulfill our purpose in this life.

What previous students are saying

Rachel and Claudia are more than just teachers, they are true light-bearers in every sense of the word. They practice what they preach and embody the art of yoga nidra - of total relaxation and presence.” 

  • Ragnhild, Meditation Teacher & Retreat Host/Guide.

The yoga nidra education has given me greater insight into the nervous system, how important breathing and rest are for the body, and taught me to write a yoga nidra script. I have become even more aware, know myself better, and learned a lot. Strongly recommended.”

  • Physical Therapist

Claudia and Rachel deeply embody what they teach. They are supportive, compassionate, and understanding with all their senses. They have a vast knowledge of rest and Nidra practices. Their deep belief in slow and profound somatic practices will take you on a journey including both informative and felt knowledge, while at the same time, holding a space safe enough to freely share your vulnerabilities and create intimate connections.

  •  Giulia, Elemental Yoga and Zen Shiatsu Therapist.

Very clever, knowledgeable, inclusive, tolerant and humble. This is an experience that I will never forget. Strongly recommended.”
