OUR FACILITATORS

WHAT IS YOGA NIDRA?

If you’ve heard of Yoga Nidra, you’ll probably know it’s also referred to as ‘Yogic Sleep’. Why?


Yoga Nidra is a guided meditation practice that allows us to drop into a sleeplike state, whereby our minds are still active, but our bodies rest deeply.


Rooted in Yoga philosophy AND science, this immersive practice can counter fatigue, soothe busy minds and refresh tired bodies!

How is this different from a Deepen your Hum?

Our Intensives are Humming Puppy's version of courses and educational programs; they are very different!


Intensives dive deep into the practices, principles and theory behind specific Yoga practices; in this case, Yoga Nidra. You'll learn skills, tips and teaching techniques to share each practice with others.


Intensives are higher in both time and price commitment (often a couple of days in studio) but we can promise you an immersive, informative and practical experience to set you up to share with your chosen community.
