Yoga Nidra is a simple yet profound technique adapted from the traditional tantric practice of nyasa. This workshop will provide you with transformational experiences of Yoga Nidra, a practice known as yogic sleep. By entering a state between wakefulness and sleep, you release tension and promote stress relief, cultivating self-awareness and a deeper connection with your inner self.

Yoga Nidra also supports deep physical and energetic rejuvenation, balancing energy centers (chakras) and enhancing overall well-being. It provides a safe space to explore and release buried emotions, past traumas, and limiting beliefs, promoting a sense of wholeness and inner peace.

This workshop explains the theory of Yoga Nidra in both yogic and scientific terms. Discover the profound benefits of Yoga Nidra and embrace a journey of relaxation, self-discovery, and holistic well-being today.

This counts as an elective module in Lift Yoga’s 300 Hour Yoga Teacher Training program.

An Exploration of the Subtle Body and Chakra System

with Sheila Ewers

October 24-26, 2025 — $350
Friday: 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM
Saturday-Sunday: 9:00 AM – 5:30 PM
Location: Lift Yoga Johns Creek

Join Sheila Ewers for an in-depth exploration of the Subtle Body and Chakras – primordial centers of lifeforce (Prana) that exist within you.

Tantric Yogis believe that your body is pulsing with consciousness and energy that is particularly concentrated in 7 major centers called chakras. The word chakra translates literally to wheel or disc and indicates the swirling energy that aggregates around major nerve centers and organs in the body. These impact our physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing and become repositories for our accumulated life experience.

In this weekend intensive, we will examine the architecture of each chakra’s anatomical structure, investigate the history of the chakra system as described in ancient texts, learn to listen to our own ancient wisdom with deeper consciousness, and discover tools to steward our pranic field with greater sensitivity.

During our time, we will explore:

– Experiential exercises to energize awareness and sharpen sensitivity.
– Tools to enliven the energy body and connect to each center of psyche and soul.
– Anatomy instruction about physical systems associated with each Chakra.
– Collaborative creation implementing your new understanding.
