SLEEP RECOVERY

This is the teacher training that brings Yoga Therapy for Insomnia and Sleep Recovery to life. Live Online, and drawing from both Sleep Recovery + Yoga Therapy for Insomnia and Sleep Recovery, plus an online learning platform and detailed training manual, this course provides both the theoretical and practical training necessary to teach yoga classes, courses and workshops for those experiencing sleep problems. Sessions will include asana, pranayama, meditation, marma points, and consultation on healthy sleep habits. You will learn to tailor what you offer to individual needs and to work with different body-mind sleep ‘types. ’The emphasis of the course is on supporting healthy sleep through appropriate holistic yoga practices. There will be opportunities for teaching practice, as well as an assessment on the final day.

Each day will include a practice of the techniques being learnt, including asana (hatha and restorative), pranayama, meditation, and more so that you have direct experience of all the practices that you are offering to others. We will follow the sleep-wake guidance we will give to others in how we approach the training day. Many who take the course notice that their sleep improves whether they are ‘insomniac’ or not!
At the end of the course you will be equipped to teach multi-week Sleep Recovery courses. If you are already qualified as a yoga teacher, you will receive a Yoga Therapy for Insomnia & Sleep Recovery Certificate and will be eligible for listing in the online directory. This is the time!

Successful completion of all the course requirements will grant you access to the Sleep Recovery Network and your first years’ membership dues at Sleep Recovery Teacher Level are included in the cost of this training.

The Diversity in Wellness Scholarships: There are two Diversity in Wellness Sleep Recovery Training Scholarships. These are either 100% or partially funded scholarships and will be awarded to those who can offer the Sleep Recovery course within a particular community or group to promote greater diversity in yoga and well being.

Learn to integrate key principles in yoga, yoga therapy and psychotherapeutic approaches to support individuals in addressing short term, long term or complex sleep issues.  

The insomnia and sleeplessness epidemic continues to grow, and offering sleep-supporting individually tailored, customised and flexible experiences enables you to help address a range of comorbid physical and mental health issues.  

The Sleep Recovery method integrates simply applied yoga practices, and utilises the yogic concept of the pancha Koshas and the Ayurvedic Doshas to understand the main pathways that students can use to tailor their approach to better sleep rest and wakefulness. 

Sleep Recovery draws on a broad range of yoga tools, practices and perspectives, as well as psychotherapeutic and behavioural approaches to insomnia; and with an understanding of relevant sleep science as well as cultural and philosophical views of sleep and sleeplessness, provides a theoretical and practical basis for working 1-1 including students and clients with little or no yoga experience.

Upon successful completion of this training and the final assessment exercises, you will be qualified to offer Sleep Recovery™ one to one consultations: in person and online appropriate to your professional qualifications and you will be equipped to address a range of sleep related difficulties more comprehensively in your work with individuals.  

Successful completion of all the course requirements will grant you access to the Sleep Recovery Network and your first years’ membership dues at Sleep Recovery One to One Level are included in the cost of this training.
