Yoga Nidra means Yogic Sleep. It is a state of conscious Deep Sleep. In Meditation, you remain in the Waking state of consciousness, and gently focus the mind, while allowing thought patterns, emotions, sensations, and images to arise and go on. However, in Yoga Nidra, you leave the Waking state, go past the Dreaming state, and go to Deep Sleep, yet remain awake. While Yoga Nidra is a state that is very relaxing, it is also used by Yogis to purify the Samskaras, the deep impressions that are the driving force behind Karma. In recent years it has become common to use the term "yoga nidra" to mean virtually any form of relaxation practice. However, Yoga Nidra is traditionally a profoundly deep practice that is refined over an extended period of time. In this course we will review this traditional perspective and teach you to patiently allow the amazing depth to be revealed over time. Your presenter is Swami Jnaneshvara, whose famous Yoga Nidra CD has been the most popular in the world for over 15 years.

*******Over 10,000  students are enrolled in this course******* This course is a Summary of traditional Yoga Meditation Practices, which explores a 1-page outline of the practices of our Abhyasa Ashram and Himalayan meditation tradition. Your guide in the course is Swami Jnaneshvara Bharati (Swami J or Babafor short). Throughout this course we emphasize the Antar (Inner) Yoga principles and practices of the ancient sages of meditation and contemplation, particularly as transmitted to us through Swami Rama of the Himalayas, and the long lineage of predecessors. We use the word Yoga in its traditional meaning as a path of liberation or freedom from the bondage of attractions, aversions, and false identities, systematically revealing the eternal, unblemished Center of Consciousness and its Union with the One absolute, Nondual Reality. This one page Summary is a brief, yet thorough outline of the central themes of the practices of our ashram and tradition; practices which lead you in the direction of Self-realization or Enlightenment. The course is a practical expansion of that one-page Summary that we have widely used in online meetings, at our ashram in the US, as well as in meditation retreats and classes around the world. Our immediate goal is to lead you to directly intuiting your true nature, as a center of pure consciousness, and then allowing the depth and breadth of meditation to naturally come over time. Most of the course is video lectures, complemented by several extensive PDF files and audio Resources. The course has four major sections: Self-Observation, Internal Dialogue, Systematic Meditation, and a fourth section on Complementary and Evolving Practices. Please approach the course with the view of it being a practical tool for deepening your Meditations, and that this is not a mere intellectual study. We encourage you to expeditiously, yet comfortably move through the course, watch the video portions, and then, once familiar with the principles, come back and reflect on the many attached Resources more deeply. In other words, please remember that while there is a lot of depth here, which can make the process seem to be not easy, there is always an underlying simplicity.

This yoga course is focused on proper alignment and meant for students of all levels, from those who have a little yoga experience to those who are teachers. We will cover proper alignment techniques for popular yoga poses and strategies for avoiding injuries in your practice. This course comes with 11 full length sessions with me so you can put to practice immediately what you've learned. We will break down and practice poses that you'll most often see in my classes and most Hatha yoga teachers' classes. We'll look at poses where the front leg is neutrally rotated in the pelvis and poses where the front leg is in external rotation. We'll also break down sun salutations (Surya Namaskar A and B) and variations. We also practice proper alignment in chatturanga, upward dog and downward dog. Inversions are discussed and practiced as well. Our course is structured so that you'll watch the interactive lectures first and then practice the 30-minute vinyasa flow classes. The course will take you about 8 hours to complete. I would recommend practicing one section at a time and then the practice. Each section will take 45 minutes to an hour to complete (including the practice) and I've included quiz's after each lecture to be sure the information stays with you. Take this course if you love yoga! I want us all to practice until we're well into our 90's, so let's make our alignment as good as it can be. This course is based on my 10 years of teaching as well as my experience as a teacher trainer. I've taught over ten 200-hour teacher training courses through YogaWorks and I'm also a teacher on the faculty of the 300-hour professional program. The YogaWorks method is the "Gold Standard" of teacher training, so the information you'll receive here is awesome!

If you feel stiff when you wake up or struggle to manage your energy throughout the day, now is the perfect time to start focusing on your health and wellbeing, before the negative effects of modern life take their toll. When you practice yoga for a short time every day, you'll find that you can move more comfortably, that you have much more energy and no longer suffer from recurring niggling aches and pains, especially at the lower back, neck or shoulders. The most effective at-home training I started working from home in 2009, which meant that before the popularity of at-home fitness training, I had to find a way to keep myself fit and healthy that I could stay consistent with over the long-term and that didn't require much space or equipment. Although I was already certified as an NASM Personal Trainer, I had become disillusioned with the repetitive style of training and no longer had access to a fully-equipped gym. For me, yoga was the obvious solution. I started practicing yoga every day for my physical health and meditation for my sanity with online teachers. However, unfortunately, very quickly I came up against some significant road blocks. * Time I rarely, if ever, had 90 minutes to spare for a full yoga class. * Focus I couldn't find classes had a clear objective that I was guaranteed to achieve if I put in the time. * Spirituality I am a very introspective and spiritual person but it's not something I think about when I'm working out! You can find out more about more personal thoughts on this subject on my blog. My solution? So I did the only sensible thing. I went to Guatemala to take my first Yoga Alliance 200-Hour Teacher Training certificate and designed my own, comprehensive yoga program! The birth of Yoga 15 I broke the discipline of yoga into 5 core skills—Flexibility, Strength, Mobility, Relaxation and Balance. And then created a system that works you through each of these areas systematically, all the time increasing your level of ability and expertise. I cut the time needed to practice down to 15 minutes, which is the MED (minimum effective dose)—giving you just enough time to warm up, stretch out and cool down. And decided to focus on achieving just one skill or objective in each session. (eg. to improve my hamstrings flexibility, opening up my hips or building core strength). 5 years later and these are still the only sequences that I need to keep me performing at the top of my game. 15 Minutes x 15-Day Total Yoga Challenge In this 15-day online yoga course, I lead you through a total yoga challenge that takes just 15 minutes a day. We cycle through each of the 5 different Yoga 15 skills—strength, flexibility, relaxation, balance, and mobility—practicing 5 sequences for each. The videos become increasingly more difficult as you progress through the challenge, as your abilities incrementally improve. Unlike other yoga programs, this course is designed to be highly effective and super efficient. It is part 1 of a 6-part series that you can repeat as many times as you like—learning something new each time you practice the sequence. Why practice yoga? Gain a better understanding of your body. Improve your flexibility. Increase your range of motion. Strengthen your entire body, especially your core. Sleep better. Improve your coordination. Learn how to breathe better and more effectively. Eliminate aches and pains. Alleviate post-workout soreness. Reduce your injuries. Start each day on the right foot—alert, centred and in the zone. What you can expect 15 unique sequences taught by a world-class yoga instructor with an in-depth experience of yoga and your body. 15 beautifully-designed, downloadable handouts. A definitive step-by-step guide to creating your perfect yoga environment. An extensive pose library with highly-detailed tutorials. Testimonials for Abi's "15 Minutes x 15-Day Total Yoga Challenge" “Fantastic course. Bitesize 15-minute yoga. I have done it daily for weeks now and I feel a huge benefit” Anna Davey “I keep rotating among 6 of Abi's 5x15 series and obviously am a fan.

Some balancing poses are super hard, I am nearing the end of 15 days now, I am going to redo the whole course again because there is a huge margin to improve. Thanks to everyone involved.” Bharat “I woke up with stiffness and this class help me to relieve the stress my body was in." Margaret Duran “Was a beginner and this allowed me to do yoga comfortably in my own home and build up slowly. Will continue to use regularly.” Kristina DM “It is one of the best yoga course. The duration is very good with the well-managed course.” Rajendra Prasad Neupane “Course is really good..Step by Step Progression is helpful for beginners." Swapnil Jain “Perfect length of time and level of effort to give me a boost at the beginning or middle of my day!” Terry Brogan “Good short lessons that you can fit into a busy schedule.” Schuyler Berg “This course is what i was looking for!! 15 min per day is a great combo, i think i will buy the others form the same author!! Good job keep doing it!” Giorgio Guidazzi “I think the 15-minute segments are the perfect length. Since I'm working from home these days, I can easily silence my phone and email for a bit, do some quick yoga, and then get back to work feeling refreshed.” Gabriel Jones

Yoga + Anatomy & The Body Sciences If you are seeking a deeper understanding of the BODY & the relationship between the body & YOGA you have come to the right place!  This course was created for Yoga Teachers, or those going into Yoga Teacher Training, that want to have a solid foundation of knowledge in Anatomy. It is not just anatomy though, this course goes beyond naming the parts, to focus on how the body functions and how that impacts what we do in our practice. This Course is eligible for Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Credits through the YACEP dashboard. This is the first 10 hour course, in a multi-part series on Yoga Anatomy. In this first course, you will learn the basic language of anatomy & movement that is necessary for all future learning about the body. You will also learn about the Skeletal System, Bones, Joints & Ligaments, with special attention to how this information is applied to the way you teach yoga. The Segments include : - Why Should Yoga Teachers Study Anatomy? - The 12 Body Systems - Anatomical Terms of Position & Relationship - The 3 Planes of Movement - The Biomechanics of Balance - The Language of Movement - The Components of the Skeletal System - Types of Bones - Classification of Joints - The Axial & Appendicular Skeleton - Surface Anatomy - Common Conditions of the Skeletal System Each topic is explored through an educational lecture that incorporates slides and video. The concepts that were covered in the lecture are then demonstrated in a practice video where you can follow along to feel these concepts in your own body. There are also segments where I use the Complete Anatomy program to give you a 3D image of the bones and joints that we are discussing. Finally, there is a practice video where we find these structures in our own body, through what is called Surface Anatomy . This is a valuable skill when looking at students in yoga poses to assess their alignment and posture. One of the greatest benefits of studying Anatomy online is that you can go back and review the topics as many times as you like. This really helps to absorb the information and to become comfortable with this new language. I created this course because I love teaching Yoga + Anatomy and I want other yoga teachers to have a solid understanding of the body that guides the way they teach.  When we feel confident in our knowledge that shines through to our students! I hope you will join me on this journey to creating a generation of confident, well educated & effective Yoga Teachers!

Make the most of your precious time on the mat! In our time-starved lifestyle, the moments we spend in yoga practice must have the most beneficial effect possible. This essential course is designed for any level of yoga practitioner—from aspiring to experienced yogis—to learn to approach any class or practice with greater integrity, so you can gain the maximal therapeutic effect possible, no matter when, where, or how you practice. The founder of Yoga Medicine, internationally acclaimed teacher Tiffany Cruikshank, L.Ac., MAOM, E-RYT, has designed this course to make the groundbreaking techniques of Yoga Medicine accessible to everyone. Yoga Medicine teachers are rigorously educated in a fusion of anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics with the traditional practice of yoga. Yoga Medicine extensively trains teachers to work with students and healthcare providers to find a yoga practice that is an appropriate therapeutic adjunct to medical care. After teaching for over two decades, training thousands of yoga teachers, presenting at conferences around the world, and working with tens of thousands of patients, Tiffany has distilled the Yoga Medicine training down to the most important factors that help everyone get the most out of their yoga practice. Sharing many of these findings for the first time, Tiffany’s course is an essential supplement for anyone who practices yoga and wants to enhance the therapeutic effects of their practice. In Yoga Medicine’s teacher trainings, we pride ourselves on teaching our students the what, why, and how of the poses, so teachers can empower their students to take their practice and health into their own hands. In this course, you’ll access this teacher training directly, learning Yoga Medicine’s key insights on anatomy, physiology, and mental health that you will be able to immediately put into use. You will learn how to develop your practice with a three-dimensional approach to address the physical body, the internal organs, and the mind simultaneously, in harmony with your body’s physiological reflexes and instincts. This course features five sections with 28 unique lessons. In each lesson, you will learn critical information, alignment tips, and pose modifications that help you elevate your practice in whatever time you have. By the end of this course, you will be able to confidently approach any style of yoga with greater integrity, knowing you have the skills and knowledge to get the most out of every moment on the mat. Each lesson will begin with a structured lecture by Tiffany, during which she will review the key points of learning and how the training will build upon itself with each section. During her lectures, Tiffany will refer to medical illustrations and notes that are provided in your handouts, to help you make connections and deepen your understanding. After each lecture, you’ll begin a thematically-linked yoga sequence, guided by Yoga Medicine’s most accomplished teachers, to help you make the embodied connection between the ideas and the practice so you can feel the core concepts of that lesson at work in your body. The course flows as follows: Section 1: Introduction Introduction (1:59) Overview (6:10) Key Preliminary Points (7:01) Handout for this course (Yoga-Medicine_Udemy-Handout.pdf) Mindfulness in Action (3:44) Section 2: Physical Practices in Yoga Introduction to Physical Practices (4:37) Shoulder Structure (6:03) Shoulder Anatomy (11:50) Shoulder Therapeutic Applications (6:07) Shoulder Asana (35:06) Spine Structure (9:13) Spine Anatomy (9:54) Spine Therapeutic Applications (13:01) Spine Asana (36:40) Hip Structure (3:41) Hip Anatomy (5:13) Hip Therapeutic Applications (6:45) Hip Asana (47:28) Section 3: Yoga and the Nervous System Anatomy of the Nervous System (10:26) Application of the Nervous System to Yoga (6:04) Pranayama Effects on the Nervous System (10:17) Asana Practice for the Nervous System (36:07) Section 4: Mindfulness in Yoga Anatomy of the Mind in Yoga (3:11) Anatomy of the Mind in Meditation (6:37) Traditional Yoga and the Mind (8:27) Asana Practice for Mindfulness (52:17) Section 5: Conclusion Bringing it All Together (4:59) Establishing a Regular Practice (3:47) Rather than simply provide a set of classes for you to repeat (and become dependent upon!), this course teaches you the key biomechanical concepts needed to approach any type of practice with the maximum physiological, mental, and emotional benefit. You’ll learn about the interaction of the nervous system with the poses, and how mindfulness meditation and specific methods of breathing can help you further tap into your body’s innate rest-and-recovery response. By the end of the course, you will have learned to move your body in more specifically healing ways, in all settings, so you can experience greater integrity and therapeutic effect from any yoga practice. These individual lessons and practices will be here for your review at any time, but the intention is for this education and these core concepts to travel with you, enabling you to tap into them at will. Pain and stress are reaching epidemic levels, affecting so many aspects of our health and well-being. The ability of yoga to combat the ravages of daily life has become essential in today’s world. But with more and more scientific research validating yoga’s therapeutic and medical applications, the more intensive healing power of yoga has become undeniable, making an individual yoga practice an indispensable tool in any complete holistic health and wellness approach. These lectures and practices help you tap directly into that therapeutic effect, pairing cutting-edge scientific findings with hands-on instruction that helps you get the most targeted positive impact possible from your yoga practice.

Get ready to skyrocket your teaching and success... With Sadie Nardini, E-RYT and Tyler McCoy, founder and master instructor of Core Strength Vinyasa Yoga and founders of Core Anatomy. *** It's not the destination that matters most...it's the journey. *** Did you know that 90 percent of every yoga pose can, and should be aligned BEFORE the student ever gets into the final asana? And 90 percent (or more) of yoga teachers don't do this correctly--or at all. Are you leading students through the journey? Or just focusing on aligning the poses themselves? This is a huge misstep that 90% of teachers make which can cost them safety, money, respect and the interest of many more students. This can mean the difference between being a good-enough yoga teacher, and a great, sought-after one in your community--and beyond! If you don't know about the myofascial meridians, and are still cuing from the outer body only, which, unless you've taken our trainings, you probably are, you are missing a huge chunk of knowledge that you and your students need to progress optimally. You won't find the information contained in the Journey Training anywhere else, and yet it is the foundation of any powerful next-generation yoga teacher. This course is drawn from our studies with many different yoga lineages, as well as years of training with the myofascial (muscle-fascia) meridian anatomy from Leslie Kamonoff (bestselling Yoga Anatomy author and yoga movement and breathing educator) and Tom Myers, Anatomy Trains author and anatomist. Take it from this teacher-turned-studio owner...because of these trainings! Dear Sadie, I know that you are busy. I keep following you on Facebook. Why shouldn't I? Do you have any idea how you have changed my life? 4 years ago I was waitressing and teaching 4 classes a week in community centers. I was frustrated, trying to figure out how to take my teaching to the next level. Found you online started studying with you and BOOM! Now I have a studio that is doing awesome and I even have just started my first 200hr teacher training program in Northern Ontario. It's crazy. Who knew this could be me? YOU DID!! Just last night I had a group of new people come in and one girl came up after and said, "That was the most fun I've ever had in a yoga class, and I've taken lots of yoga". That was AWESOME!!" She then signed up for a month--actually all four of them did!! I smiled and of course thought, "Thank you, Sadie!!" Joanne, owner, Bend Yoga Studio Did I mention...this training is FUN ? *** The Journey Training is a compliment to, and a progression of, the Rockstar, and Evolution Trainings, in that order. Where the Rockstar is about all the body's muscle meridians and sequences to work them, and the Evolution deals with how to cue the Core Strength Myofascial Meridian in every pose, the Journey Training focuses entirely on the transitions: how to cue them, adds beginner options within most poses, and how to move from pose to pose, and within each pose to get the most powerful outcome and alignment to occur. You do not have to take all three, but it is suggested, as this gives you the most rounded understanding of the outer and inner body meridians, how to sequence them, adjust them, cue them in every type of pose, and how to clarify your own Core Message so you're the most dynamic, attractive and authentic teacher you can be. Specifically, when you get the The Journey Training, you'll receive: A HUGE RESOURCE: 20 + hours of clear, professional video shot at Yoga Yoga Westgate in Austin, Texas. You'll feel that you're right there in the room with us and your training community! FREEDOM: A training you can do at your own pace, at home, whenever you want. There is no time limit to complete it! INSPIRATION: An incredible amount of new tips, tools and poses for you to try out in the classroom, and watch your students grow along with you! CUEING CLARITY: A focus on how to instruct yoga poses through the crucial transitions from floor into the pose, and from pose to pose, where 90% of the pose is actually aligned. MORE STUDENTS: A fresh way of cueing: from the ground up, so that any level of student who is capable of some yoga movement can attend your classes and feel empowered--not left behind. You heard it from Joanne....Now your class sizes can increase too! REAL ANATOMY KNOWLEDGE: Many trainings teach you what the hamstrings are, or what the quads do in Chair Pose, for example. But what you really need to know is how to use anatomy to move students the best, while avoiding strain, weakness or injury. We've got your next-level, clear and simple anatomy-of-yoga-movement (something that's rarely taught in TTs) all covered in the Journey Training. MORE MONEY: When you have an area of expertise that most other students and teachers do not, you become more in-demand for your classes, and can now hold more big ticket workshops, retreats, and trainings. This translates to more money in the bank, more freedom for you personally, and more possibilities for you as an instructor to travel, and become known in your community and beyond as the professional that you are. ORIENTATION WHILE TEACHING: So many teachers are all over the place. "put your back heel down, reach your arms up, Warrior One. Tuck the tailbone, relax the shoulders, navel to spine, face the hips forward". Most of these are improper instructions anyway, or don't do anything for the pose but cause more compression. In the Journey Training, we reveal our Teaching Template : clear instructions on exactly what to focus on, in what order, to activate the student's body most cleanly, powerfully, safely--and without disorienting them. VARIATIONS FOR BEGINNERS AND UP: It's always a challenge when you have different levels of students in class. Here you'll find creative adaptations so you can still keep the class flowing, even while you provide variations for your beginners--and the more advanced students too. This is a rare skill, but when you develop it, you'll retain more students for longer, because everyone will have room to grow in your classroom. CREATIVE SEQUENCES: We provide our signature Core Warmups, Core Strength Sun Salutations, and more fresh Vinyasa flow sequences and poses so you can see how to move students through this new transitional-type instruction in a moving, invigorating, and fun experience for yourself and your class. A CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION: When you complete the training, you'll receive a Certificate of Completion that means you can add The Journey Training and that you are Core Strength Vinyasa Yoga-trained to your bio (Full Core Strength Vinyasa Yoga certification is given only after completing Sadie and Tyler's in-person 200 or 300-hour Core Strength Vinyasa Yoga RYT Certification programs through Yoga Alliance). *** Namaste! We can't wait for you to go on this Journey with us....and with you! Sadie and Tyler
