The Art of Relaxation and submitting a state of deeper awareness
The practice of Yoga Nidra is the scientific method of removing tension. Tension that can be build op on muscular, emotional and mental level. Nidra is so much more than deeply relaxing; it’s a more efficient and effective form of psychic and physiological rest.
It’s even more rejuvenating than conventional sleep.
Yoga Nidra means sleep with a trace of awareness, it’s a state of mind between wakefulness and dream. During the practise of Nidra our consciousness travels from one layer of consciousness to another. And this process is what we’ll explore in this training.

ABOUT MOENA DE JONG 
Driven by an insatiable curiosity for depth, it was a logical step 14 years ago for Moena de Jong to embark on a yoga education. After 4 years of training based on the Critical Alignment principle, she continued her yoga journey with teacher training from Svaha Yoga (Jivamukti-inspired), practiced Vipassana meditation, and participated in workshops with various international instructors.
In 2014, she obtained her 500-hour certification from Jivamukti Yoga in New York. In addition to Hatha and Vinyasa yoga, Yoga Nidra and Pranayama are strong passions she enjoys sharing with her students. Her lineage traces back to Swami Satyananda Saraswati. Tibetan Buddhism captured her heart years ago, leading her to pursue her studies within the lineage of Drukpa Kagyu.
Believing that yoga encompasses all aspects of life, she seamlessly integrated her Ayurveda knowledge into her daily practice and shares this with her students. Moena’s classes range from dynamic Jivamukti-inspired yoga to Hatha yoga in a meditative flow. She emphasizes the importance of students following their intuition and freeing themselves from self-criticism.
For years, Moena has been sharing her passion for connection through Pranayama, Vinyasa, Hatha, philosophy, Nidra, and Ayurveda. She conducts workshops for various teacher training programs in these aforementioned yoga forms. Believing that true radiance comes from authentic self-expression, she guides her students with light and enthusiasm on a journey towards their core.
