Course Details
We are happy to introduce a NEW series of Nidra-yoga workshops that we’ve prepared for students interested in the mysteries of the state of sleep and in the subtle planes of consciousness.
The yogis of India and Tibet have deemed the condition of sleep (in which we spend a considerable part of our lives) as an important gateway towards health and superior knowledge. The key to all that is a special state of conscious sleep – the “Yogic sleep” – called Yoga Nidra. In Yoga Nidra, one learns to blend the process of relaxing and sleeping, with the preservation of a clear state of awareness. This largely enhances the efficiency of sleep and relaxation and allows practitioners to follow the path to greater health (both physical and emotional/mental) as well as to higher knowledge (insight and self-realization).
Such a “Yogic sleep” promotes the natural release of serotonin, dopamine and other mysterious substances in the brain. This promotes focus and cognitive improvement, as well as healing and relaxation, at the same time. It purifies the mind from obsessive negative thoughts and emotions and it helps the practitioner to acquire a more positive mind and lifestyle. That helps you to enhance your daily activities, and also achieve your deeper goals.

- How to relax your body according to the secret science of Yoga.

Swamiji
The founder of Agama Yoga, Swami Vivekananda Saraswati, or “Swamiji” to his students, is a passionate and dedicated teacher of the authentic lines of Indian and Tibetan Yoga, which are rapidly becoming lost in today’s “spiritual marketplace.”
In 1998, Swami Vivekananda took full sannyasa vows at the Kumbha Mela in India, at which time he was ordained; his diksha guru bestowing upon him his new and famous name, which means discriminating insight.
Although restrained by a modesty that usually prevents him from discussing it, Swamiji has reached high states of spiritual realisation and samadhi. From this place of knowing, he offers a proven path to spiritual accomplishment in well-articulated concepts. He is one of the few Western Tantric Teachers well-versed in Kundalini Yoga and Gnostic Christianity, and he specialises in the intensely spiritual Tantra Yoga of Kashmir Shaivism.
Swamiji’s guidance is felt in many ways at Agama: from in the classroom, presenting Yoga as a living science, based on common sense and joy; to administering various healing techniques, as a practitioner of chiropractic and other healing methods; to lecturing on esoteric Yogic subjects in weekly Satsang; or discussing personal life problems with pupils, possibly in their own language (as he speaks five).
Swamiji inspires by personal example and examples from history, quoting uninterruptedly from scores of ancient texts and spiritual masters – all with a great sense of humour and unmatched character.
