Buka Yoga is thrilled to host the I AM Yoga Nidra™ Certification Program this September. Led by the world-renowned Kamini Desai, Ph.D., this two-part journey is for those looking to deepen their personal practice and for professionals—including yoga teachers, therapists, and healthcare providers—ready to facilitate profound healing for others.
The Training Experience
Yoga Nidra is often called "Transformational Sleep." It is a guided practice that leads you into the deepest states of relaxation where healing, habit-breaking, and spiritual evolution occur. You can learn more about Nidra in this article on the Buka blog.
This training program is divided into two intensive modules:
Part 1: Yoga Nidra I – Immersion
September 3–6, 2026
Focus on your own transformation. You will learn how to rewrite your personal story by understanding samskaras (unresolved impressions) and using the power of intention (Sankalpa).
Includes: Twice-daily guided sessions, a comprehensive manual, and authentic lineage-based teachings.
Part 2: Yoga Nidra II – Certification
September 24–27, 2026
Transition from student to facilitator. This module provides the evidence-based research and practical skills needed to guide others through stress, trauma, insomnia, and anxiety.
Includes: 66 Yoga Alliance/IAYT CE credits and a unique Yoga Nidra Card Deck for creating customized sessions. You must attend all sessions in part one and part two to receive certification.
Daily Schedule: Thursday – Saturday: 9:30 AM – 1:00 PM & 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM
Sunday: 9:30 AM – 1:00 PM
