WHEN REST BECOMES THE WAY IN
We often rest physically, but the mind continues to carry tension, unfinished emotions, memories, and inner activity.
This retreat is for those who wish to experience rest as a conscious practice — a way to soften the body, settle the nervous system, observe the mind, and reconnect with the deeper awareness within.
To Experience Rest Beyond Sleep
For those who sleep but do not always feel restored, or who find it difficult to release physical and mental tension completely.
To Settle the Nervous System
For those experiencing stress, anxiety, emotional fatigue, burnout, or a continuous feeling of being alert, overwhelmed, or unable to switch off.
To Deepen an Existing Yoga Practice
For yoga students, teachers, therapists, healers, and practitioners who want to refine their understanding of prana and bring greater clarity, sensitivity, and steadiness into their practice.
THE MEANING OF YOGA NIDRA
Awake Within Deep Rest
Yoga Nidra is often called yogic sleep, but it is not ordinary sleep.
In Yoga Nidra, the body is guided into deep relaxation while a thread of awareness remains present. The practice moves through body awareness, breath, sensation, inner imagery, intention, and silence, helping the mind enter the space between waking and sleeping.
In this state, the body rests deeply, the nervous system begins to soften, and deeper layers of physical, emotional, and mental tension may gradually release.
Yoga Nidra does not ask you to force relaxation. It creates the conditions in which relaxation can arise naturally.
How Rest Deepens Over Ten Days
The retreat begins by preparing the body and establishing a sense of safety, stillness, and ease. From this foundation, Yoga Nidra is introduced through its classical stages and supported by asana, pranayama, meditation, philosophy, sound, and personal reflection.
The purpose is not to escape experience or simply fall asleep. It is to develop the capacity to rest consciously, observe the inner mind, release unnecessary tension, and remain present with greater clarity.
Classical Yoga Nidra
Specific breathing techniques are introduced gradually to regulate prana, refine breath awareness, steady the mind, and support inner balance.
Sankalpa & Inner Resolve
Sankalpa is a clear inner resolve introduced when the mind is quiet and receptive. It helps give direction to the deeper layers of awareness.
Meditation & Inner Silence
Guided meditation develops awareness of the relationship between breath, thought, emotion, and inner experience without forcing or suppressing what arises.
Yogic Philosophy
Yoga Nidra supports deep rest and nervous-system recovery, allowing the body and mind to absorb and integrate the effects of daily practice.
Sound Healing
Sound healing supports deep listening, relaxation, and integration, while personal guidance helps each participant approach the practice according to their needs and capacity.
Meet Your Lead Teacher
Sunil Sharma is the founder of Yoganga Healing and the guiding teacher of the Yoga Nidra Healing Retreat. His work brings together classical yoga, Yoga Nidra, meditation, pranayama, yogic philosophy, and psychological understanding. He does not teach Yoga Nidra as a simple relaxation technique, but as a complete inner practice that helps students understand the relationship between body, breath, nervous system, emotions, memory, and awareness.
His presence is calm, attentive, and deeply grounded. Rather than pushing students toward intense experiences, he creates a safe space where the body can soften, the mind can settle, and deeper layers of tension can be observed with care. Through his guidance, Yoga Nidra becomes a practice of conscious rest, inner listening, emotional release, and return to stillness.
