Online Yoga nidra facilitator training
(15 Hour Certification)

Are you constantly tired, overthinking, or feeling disconnected from yourself? Yoga Nidra gently creates a space where deep rest and inner awareness become possible. This facilitator training is an invitation to experience that transformation yourself and learn to share it with others. Imagine lying down and, for the first time in a long time, feeling that you don’t have to fix anything, achieve anything, or become anyone. Just resting in yourself. That is the doorway Yoga Nidra gently opens.

What is Yoga Nidra ?

Yoga Nidra, often called yogic sleep, is a powerful guided meditation technique that brings the body into deep relaxation while keeping the mind aware. Practiced lying down, it systematically guides you through layers of consciousness—helping release stress, improve sleep quality, and restore mental clarity. Unlike traditional meditation, Yoga Nidra requires no effort or concentration, making it accessible for beginners and experienced practitioners alike. This ancient yogic practice activates the parasympathetic nervous system, allowing profound healing on physical, emotional, and subconscious levels. Today, Yoga Nidra is widely used for stress relief, insomnia, anxiety management, and personal transformation, making it an essential tool for both self-practice and professional teaching in modern wellness and yoga therapy.

My name is Cicilia and I am from Argentina. This is my second time studying with Joshita and it has been as usual an excellent experience. Joshita was one of my teachers in my Teacher training Course some years ago and this time I took Yoga Nidra Training with her. She has a unique style that makes all the knowledge simple and accessible. Her voice is so sweet and profound that it takes you to experience Yoga Nidra on another level. I would highly recommend Yoga Nidra Course to study to learn for yourself and also share with others. Thank you Joshita!

The Yoga Nidra course with Joshita has been very insightful. I found what I was looking for, to learn about voice modulation, detail about the steps of Yoga Nidra and the practice of Yoga Nidra has been a great experience. I also learned new concepts such as brain waves and how do they relate to the practice of Yoga Nidra. I also learned a lot about how to teach to the clients as well. Definitely recommended!

I had never heard of Yoga Nidra before signing up for a session with Joshita. I thought it was another type of yoga that would teach me different asanas (poses) or pranayama (breath work) so I was unprepared initially for laying completely still while she guided us through deep meditation and visualizations. After the first session, I was hooked. More than once, while in a state of deep meditation, I heard “you are exactly where you have always wanted to be” and mentally I agreed. I was at peace even if moments before I was at war… with a thought or emotion that surfaced during the relaxation. Either way, I was where I wanted and needed to be. That’s the power of Yoga Nidra. I have since had sessions with a variety of teachers and even took the teacher training myself, but none have taken me on the journey of healing and transformation that Joshita has.

Joshita, thank you for the wonderful teacher training course of Yoga Nidra. You gave us a structure how to organise the session and explained the roots of spirituality which goes behind. Meditations which we did with you helped me to stay centred. That time wasn’t easy time for me but our course gave me strength to go through it. And of course, the course has increased my level as a facilitator. My students recognised the difference. I do recommend it to everyone who wants to deepen the knowledge of Nidra.

I can't thank you enough for all the wonderful changes i have experienced in myself with yog nidra. I feel stronger, lighter and super amazing in myself. I also started teaching yog nidra to my students and they really love it and felt improvement in themselves. The yog nidra course with you was the best decision i made so far. You are a very humble and calm teacher with very positive energy. ❤️🤗

Joshita is a wonderful teacher. When i enrolled for the course, I was going through some mental ups and downs. Yoga nidra really helped me to calm my body, thoughts and emotions. After the class also, Joshita really helped and followed up with me a lot and supported like a friend. Her unique way of teaching, perfect blend of traditional- modern knowledge and sweet voice clearly makes you fall in love with yoga nidra practice. I would highly highly recommend Joshita if you want to start or deepen your yoga nidra practice.

"Yoga is simply going back to yourself"

Joshita Arora

Joshita Arora is an experienced Yoga Nidra and Meditation teacher with over a decade of dedicated practice and teaching. Her Yoga Nidra Facilitator Training programs are thoughtfully designed based on her extensive personal practice and professional experience in Yoga, Meditation, and meditative therapies.

Originally trained as an Interior Designer, Joshita’s journey into Yoga began at an early age under the guidance of her mother. Over the years, she has maintained a consistent and disciplined practice of Hatha Yoga, Yoga Nidra, Pranayama, Meditation, and therapeutic modalities, allowing her teachings to be grounded in both tradition and lived experience.

Joshita has conducted Yoga Nidra facilitator trainings, meditation classes, group therapies, workshops, and sessions within teacher training programs and retreats for more than ten years across India and Thailand. She is a certified Yoga Nidra Facilitator, Yoga Teacher, and Meditation Facilitator, and has received in-depth training in classical yogic teachings at the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Ashram, Kerala, India.

Her immersion in the Sivananda tradition—through daily practice of Hatha Yoga, Pranayama, Meditation, and Karma Yoga, profoundly transformed her understanding of the body, mind, energy, and spirituality. Answering a deep inner calling to share this knowledge, Joshita began teaching Hatha Yoga, Pranayama, and Meditation at the Sivananda Yoga Centre, followed by leading workshops and retreats in Rishikesh and Thailand.

She has studied Yoga Nidra under Bettina Kahlert, a renowned Yoga Nidra teacher, and completed advanced Yoga Nidra Facilitator Training with her. Additionally, Joshita completed a 30-hour Yoga Nidra Facilitator Training through the International Yoga Nidra Conference. Her ongoing curiosity and commitment to learning have taken her across India and Asia, where she has trained in diverse yogic and meditative traditions, including Osho therapies and meditations, as well as Tantra studies at a leading Tantra school in Thailand.

Joshita brings dynamism, warmth, and enthusiasm to her classes, creating a supportive and deeply restorative space for practitioners. Her first experience of Yoga Nidra revealed to her the profound ease of letting go and the presence of an inner stillness that remains untouched by external circumstances. This insight continues to inspire her teaching and fuels her passion for guiding others toward deep rest, clarity, and inner balance.

She looks forward to sharing the transformative power of Yoga Nidra and meditation with you, and supporting your journey inward.

The course was great - the right amount of theory with balance. And I liked that the course was at weekends, it actually created a retreat/course feel for me. Joshita was brilliant - clear, welcoming; I thought she did a great job of making the course inclusive and getting people to join in yet leading and keeping the course on track and with enough structure without being strict. Her knowledge was evident and the PDFs were a great support tool. Super generous too, to put on an extra session - thank you very much. Really great course and I'm so pleased I could do this online with a course based in India and a group based all over the world.

This course was amazing. It blew my mind. Joshita is a gifted teacher - engaging, clear, compassionate funny, and also organized, articulate and knowledgeable. And the practice has really affected me in a deeply positive, healing way. I just wish the course was longer! I would definitely do a level 2 or beyond. It was such a beautiful experience. Thank you!

This was an amazing course with really great content. I thoroughly enjoyed Joshita's relaxed style and her wealth of information and skills. The course works brilliantly in an online environment. I would recommend it to anyone who would like to deepen their Yoga practice. It is perfect for novices and those with experience. The website is easy to navigate. There is space on the forum to explore questions at a deeper level which is wonderful. Joshita has a real passion for sharing this wonderful Holistic Practice with her students. She values their contributions too and sees them as an integral part of the process of learning. It is a wonderful investment in self-care and ultimately incredibly rewarding for self and others.

The Yoga Nidra course was very well organized, methodical, and was done with a very passionate teacher Miss Joshita Arora. She made sure I understood the concept and importance of each and every step of Yoga Nidra. Looking forward to continuing to attend more courses & workshops at Nada Yoga School when possible.

This experience was like no other. I’m not often drawn to an online course however this course lead by Joshita has completely changed my perspective. I loved the pace of the course, always leaving space for questions and answers or sharing experiences. The information was given in a format that was very easily followed and understood. The offering of the practice done together was the cherry on the top for me. Not waiting to do it at a later date. Knowing I can go back over the course as I desire is bonus. Thank you so much.
