Yoga Nidra and Pranayama
8 module program on teachable
In this online, self-led program, you will learn the why and how of the stages and layers to the yoga nidra practice and why and how to retrain your nervous system with functional breathing and elevating your tolerance to carbon dioxide. This is a program for those who are ready to be an active participant and creator in your own healing.
Yoga Nidra and pranayama are powerful practices that foster:
meditation (presence)
deep restoration (healing)
focus (self-control)
fine-tuning awareness (discernment)
the mind architecture you desire (manifestation).
When you know the geography of your nervous system and how to soothe it, suddenly a new world of exploration and creation opens up. To dive deep into the subconscious system and change beliefs, habits and programs simply through the practice of feeling more, being with yourself, noticing reaction and changing the story of fear and protection into one of allowing, expanding and healing.
To practice observing one’s body and mind without reacting, getting lost or taken over by the stories or distractions that can often consume our regular waking life is a key to this practice. When we don’t react to our reactions, and stay in curious mindful awareness and observation, we get access to the deeper material that has been driving those reactions. Because we are not just the product of what has happened to us, we also move, protect, express, see, believe, think, and behave based on what we have made our experiences mean.
When we remain relaxed, patient and spacious in observing this subconscious material manifest, we can update our belief systems and create space around impulse so we have new found choice and freedom. Essentially meeting the root cause of our dysregulation and loosening the grip around it so we can heal and release it.
“I’m astounded by Marin's ability to distill large bodies of work into tangible teaching points and effectively communicate them. Marin’s attention to create a safe, open and comfortable space may be her biggest asset. For those looking to broaden their horizon of what deep-rooted wellness means, look no further. For those who struggle with remaining present and are seeking repose, look no further. If you want to increase the richness in moments, Marin has the tools and perspective that can materially improve your life.”

“I have been to many yoga nidra classes in the past and I must say I never understood what I was "doing". I feel like it was never fully explained and it's liberating to now have this knowledge.”

"Yoga Nidra may be even more beneficial than sleep for creating change as it involves both deep rest and focus simultaneously. When you have alertness and focus, acetylcholine and adrenaline mark those synapses for change. In deep rest the change takes place. Most amount of concentration followed by the most amount of restoration. A sense of urgency increases the degree of plasticity."
