A Note from Nathalie

Think of this program as a meeting of East and West—an in-depth integration of both, and one of the reasons Yoga Nidra is such a powerful and unique practice.

For over a decade, I’ve guided students through Yoga Nidra while maintaining a consistent personal practice. The transformation I’ve witnessed—both in my own life and in my clients’—has been profound.

This training brings together years of research, hands-on experience, and the techniques I’ve refined through working with individuals and groups, both online and in person.

Now more than ever, this practice feels essential. I’m honored to share it with you.
