Suze Retera _ Embodiment Training

Yoga Nidra &
Safe Relaxation for
Yoga Therapy

This course is open to students registered for any of The Yoga Therapy Institute's Diploma courses and modules, as part of their Yoga Therapy education and training.

It is also open to new students, as an introduction, for those who wish to learn and experience Yoga Nidra in a safe, small group environment.

It is directly focused on the application of Yoga Nidra and relaxation techniques in a Yoga Therapy environment,  adapted to individuals or small groups affected by health issues.

​

You will learn the basic skills of delivering Yoga Nidra in a safe, therapeutic environment under the experienced guidance of Montserrat G Mukherjee C-IAYT and Suze Retera.

Inspired by the teachings of Dr.Uma Dinsmore-Tuli and Nirlipta Tuli, founders of The Yoga Nidra Network, and augmented by the practical therapeutic experience of the teachers at The Yoga Therapy Institute.

​

This training will be offered in English only.

The Retreat
The new year offers a moment to reflect and check in with ourselves. As we move into 2025 we invite you to join us for a day of reflection, relaxation, and nourishment to start your year with clarity and ease. We leave the often busy holiday season behind along with all the new year resolutions and take a pause.   

​

For this day retreat I join forces again with Laura Bronkers, founder of Casa di Yoga. This time we meet in Diemen, Amsterdam at the beautiful Pastorie. The Pastorie is a historic building dating from 1882. It has recently been renovated and offers a fully equipped yoga studio, cafe with delicious vegan lunches, and more. 

​​​

We start our day together with a warm welcome and a cup of tea. The first practice is a grounding and embodying yoga practice (accessible for all levels of practitioners) combined with exercises to stimulate the vagus nerve. When we finish the practice, Laura will be waiting for us with a delicious and nourishing vegan lunch. Laura is known for her colourful dishes packed with flavour!

​

The second half of the day we focus on the nervous system. After a lecture on the autonomic nervous system and the vagus nerve, Suze guides you through a TRE® practice.

​​

After a tea break we close the day with the last practice; a long yoga nidra that will leave you feeling deeply rested and restored.

​​

Join us for a day where you get to leave all pressures and daily worries behind and move into 2025 with comfort and ease!

I will be co-teaching this course with Montserrat G. Mukherjee , the founder of The Yoga Therapy Institute. Montserrat is a certified Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT) and Yoga Nidra facilitator. She shares her years of experience with endless enthusiasm, expertise, and tremendous dedication. Both Montserrat and I were trained as Yoga Nidra facilitators by Uma Dinsmore Tuli and Nirlipta Tuli, founders of the Yoga Nidra Network .

The Program

“Safety in Yoga Nidra and Relaxation for Yoga Therapy“ is a two-day intensive module, designed and recommended for all yoga teachers and Yoga Therapy trainees for the safe, respectful delivery of Yoga Nidra and relaxation practices.

​

Recent studies show that Yoga Nidra, relaxation practices, and meditation may not be safe for everyone. They might have unwanted side effects, in cases when your student suffers from certain physical or mental health issues, so we need to learn to deliver these techniques in a responsible way.

​

In this course, you will learn to recognize the signs that may indicate when these practices could be contraindicated for your student, and how to approach any challenging situations that might arise.

​
