50hr Yoga Nidra Teacher Training
Yoga Nidra: Rest With Ease
Date: TBD
The Yoga Barn in Ubud, Bali
Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom and success. If you know how to free yourself of tension you know how to solve your problems in life. The rishis (Sages in India) who first formulated the practice were not concerned with the complexities of modern life. They devised Yoga Nidra as a direct pathway for the attainment of self-realization.
Join master teacher Punnu Wasu for the most comprehensive 50hr Yoga Nidra teacher training in Bali. Punnu teaches high-quality, experiential courses and shares his profound knowledge and rich experience of more than 35 years, which has wide application and maintains both psychological and spiritual depth.
This training is for anyone who is interested in getting a regular Yoga Nidra practice, going deeper in their personal practice and understanding as well as teaching Yoga Nidra to others. Furthermore, it is also for meditation teachers and yoga teachers seeking a way to integrate Yoga Nidra into their classes to enhance the overall depth and benefits of the meditation and yoga asanas for their students.

Meeting Punnu Wasu is without a doubt the greatest most unexpected gift I have received. It started during his Shuksuma yoga class at The Yoga Barn. Exposure to different breathing techniques during his class opened up something within me – I experienced a much deeper meditative state and release than I had ever believed possible through yoga. At the completion of the class I felt somehow ‘different’ and instinctively began manifesting areas of personal growth that I wanted to focus on.
