Awakening Essence
Yoga Nidra & the Art of Conscious Rest
7 Week Online Course
9th December 2024 - 20th January 2025
Gift Yourself Deep Rest & Profound Rejuvenation with Yoga Nidra
In a culture of constant doing it is an act of radical self-love to slow down, consciously rest and soften into healing states of profound relaxation.
Yoga Nidra, often referred to as "Yogic Sleep," is a transformative practice that guides you consciously into replenishing sleep states. Within these slower brainwave states you begin to regenerate at a cellular level, digest & integrate stress hormones, integrate held emotions, digest thoughts, and connect with your inner essence (the self beyond the busyness of the waves of life).
Rooted in ancient wisdom, it offers you a sanctuary of stillness in a world of constant movement.
Why Yoga Nidra
Deep Rest: More than just physical relaxation, Yoga Nidra guides you to a state where the body, mind, and spirit rejuvenate synchronously.
Stress Relief: In today's fast-paced world, stress is ubiquitous. Yoga Nidra is a refuge, melting away anxieties and tensions, and restoring inner peace.
Heightened Awareness: Beyond relaxation, this practice illuminates the deeper layers of the Self, fostering insight, clarity, and a profound sense of interconnectedness.
Emotional Balance: By accessing deeper states of consciousness, Yoga Nidra facilitates emotional integration, helping you navigate life's ups and downs with equanimity.
Just one hour of Yoga Nidra can gift you the rejuvenation of FOUR hours of conventional sleep!
But that's not all...
While Yoga Nidra is a beacon for those seeking better sleep and relaxation, its true essence is far more profound.
It is a journey of self-discovery—a path to shed what doesn't serve you and embrace your true, whole self.
You are the peace you seek.
Soften home to your innermost Essence.
Slow down to hear the whispers of your Soul,
to meet the depths of your Heart,
to truly nurture your Body & Mind...

Closing & Integration
The practice of Yoga Nidra naturally guides your awareness through each of the Koshas (your 5 bodies). During our time together we will spend a week focusing on each one in turn, in order to expand your awareness of the different layers that make up you. Awakening presence from the densest layer of your physical body all the way deep to the most subtle self, what some may call your Soul or Higher Self.
Through doing this you can learn to deeper honour, love, connect and truly listen to your whole being from a place of greater awareness, depth, understanding and presence.
You can awaken awareness to the layers of you that exist beneath the busy mind and beneath the stories that may have cemented themselves into chronic illness, misalignment, pain, dissociation and other imbalances in your body and mind. Once you drop beneath these aspects of self and connect with a deeper awareness it becomes easier and oftentimes effortless to let go of these engrained patterns and carve new pathways and patterns that are more in alignment with health, love, vitality, inspiration and the Bliss of your Soul.
Yoga Nidra is known for its incredible support with sleep and relaxation, however, ulitmately it is a practice of returning home to the Self, of self-realization, of realizing all that is not you in order to return home to embodied wholeness.

Ellanah- thank you for forever enriching my outlook on life and love- I will be forever grateful and blessed to be a part of your time in Koh Phangan"
Bee, Australia
"Ellanah has the most angelic presence and going to her yoga classes in Thailand was an absolute treat and I would always look forward to it. Her classes were always so calming and I always felt so relaxed in her presence. Ellanah’s Reiki sessions are also unreal – after a couple of days I felt like a real weight had been lifted. I would highly recommend Ellanah for both yoga classes and her Reiki sessions… living in Australia its difficult to get to her side of the world but if I could I’d be there in a heartbeat!"
Emily, Australia
"It's like being seen by an angel. Ellanah is truly magical, one of the most present, kind hearted and true yogi and healer I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. Her yoga practice is intuitive and well balanced, and her guidance not only makes your poses stronger but your mind softer and your heart happier. There's something magical and extraordinary with this angel walking (or flying? I can't even remember) on earth!"
