Thank you for being here.

My name is a Lenova and it has and is and will always be an honor to share the practice of yoga nindra, or what is also known as non sleep deep reast with you.

It is today the lunar new year and the new moon also in Aquarius, and I wanted to unpack that a little bit before I share with you something really exciting that I have been working on and developing for all of you that are listening and feeling that calling to bring out more of that practice into your life.

So getting into the full moon or sorry, the new moon.

This is when the moon is in its darkest state.

It's got the sh shadow cast across it.

And this is really beautiful and the idea of symbolically, when we think about the levels of consciousness, Let's say, for instance, there's a conscious state.

We're in this beta brain wave state right now in order to be able to listen and share and receive and communicate in this way, and then when we go into those deeper layers we can start to also tap into the subconscious mind.

These are the patterns and the practices that we do, like brushing our teeth.

We no longer need to use so much of the conscious mind to do that because of the fact that we've created such a habit with it, it comes to us naturally, just like knowing the particular route that you're going to take home from work and those sort of experiences.

Those are programs that we put in, but that can get even deeper into how we see the world, how we experience ourselves.

And then we go even a little bit deeper, and this is going into the unconscious and these are the parts of our body that are functioning without us having to necessarily think too much about it.

It's operating on that standard program to make sure that we can breathe, we can eat, we can feel all the functions of our internal body happening, not necessarily feel, but know that they are happening without us having to process.

Okay, I'm going to digest my food.

The body just automatically knows how to do that.

Now, when we practice yoga Nindra, we're relaxing those shadow let's say, sides, the subconscious and the unconscious parts of our body.

We're sending a signal from the conscious mind that we can begin to relax all of that.

And so the new moon to me is really a time to go inside to practice yoga, nindra, meditation, all of those inward focused practices, and in yoga nindra, what makes it quite unique is that what it does is we in a new program.

It's a what we call a san kalpa or a heartfelt intension, or in some realms of practice we call that the inner resource.

And when we place that inner resource into that little liminal space that happens from where we're awake until we're about to fall asleep, and there's something dreamy about that.

You know that it is because you've been there before every day, and in that dreamy space, that's when we can start recreating how we see and field world.

So that's what makes yo get interest so special, especially in the in the tradition that I have followed.

This is what I have found to be so special about it.

And if you're listening, you probably have to now to add an extra layer of it being the lunar new year.

In some schools of thought, the new year started just at the beginning of January.

In some other schools of thought it began the winter solstice, and other perhaps in the spring equinox.

But in this particular day, I feel called to see what it is within ourselves that we really want to call in to the year.

What is it that I am becoming?

And this is why I wanted to offer today the beautiful share of Yoga Nindra, of this beautiful ancient wisdom and ancient practice.

I got on a live today with sharing this with all of you, and there were some malfunctions with the Zoom and YouTube compatibility that I had going on, not because of how their systems work, but because I don't have all of that tech skill that I wish that I did.

But it's coming along.

So I'm popping back on here to share with you what we went over during that live session.

And when we're going into this new moon and transitioning into Aquarius, this is a really beautiful time because this air sign is letting us know, letting us feel within the air that we're moving into a more collective awakening of using these practices in compliment to service of others.

And there's so many ways that this is happening.

And you may have remembered maybe watching videos or movies or listening even to the music that you know in the sixties and seventies, they talked about this beautiful awakening of the Age of Aquarius, and now we're in it.

Pluto has made its way in from Pisces into now Aquarius, and what we might be already feeling in subtle ways is this desire to collaborate, to work together, to share for the greater good.

So it's been just coming into this state now.

So in honor of the new Moon, really checking into the subconscious and unconscious parts of ourselves and also into this new lunar cycle within the year, I wanted to share and formally announce to all of you that I will be opening up the doors to the Peace and Rest program Nova Nidra teacher training.

You do not need any previous experience with yoga, and this is going to be a way for you to take all of the experiences that you've had through this practice learn more deeply into the different layers, the deeper layers of your being through the lens of Yoga Nindra.

And we're going to back this all by the beautiful modern science that has really supported this ancient wisdom.

So I'm going to hop out over here and go over the details of that with you.

So before we go into that I would love to hear in the comments, maybe where you're listening in from, maybe something that you want to call into this next year, And I'll get you to check in a couple times with me as we go along and let me know what you're thinking, what your questions are, or what might be coming up for you, so that I can answer those as we carry on.

So again, thank you for being here, and I look forward to diving into now what I'm going to review all of this for you.

So again, if you have questions, leave them in the comments below and I'd be happy to answer those for you.

What are we going to get into here, Well, if you are feeling called to share this practice, I'm going to come back to that new Moon energy and just say that I'm calling in the healers, the feelers, the creatives, the yogi's, anyone who has felt as though this practice has influenced their life in a way that has helped them heal or rediscover themselves.

This is going to be your pathway to sharing this practice with the world.

And I'll get into more of the details really shortly here with you.

So thank you for tuning in as we go through this.

What my first question for you would be is are you ready to transform your life through deep rest and self discovery.

Imagine releasing years of stress, breaking free of old patterns, and uncovering a version of yourself you've only dreamed of.

A Piece and Rest program is your pathway to achieve this.

This unique experience combines Novianidraf for Living, which is a personal transformation that we go through through the Piece and Rest program, and transfers us into Novanidra for Leading, which is a heart led empowerment portion of the program where you yourself get to decide, Okay, now that I've gone through this, here are the tools that I need to share it, and that's up to you whether you decide to share it in your own way.

This is for you to heal and grow, and this is what you'll gain within this program, the tools to understand and share the gifts of yogen Nidra NSDR, better sleep, better rest, and more energy to do those things that really matter to you.

This is also a clear path to discovering the authentic voice that you have within yourself, as well as that self that you feel most connected to.

And you know, there's so many different characters that we hold within ourselves, and I truly believe that all of them have a beautiful authenticity within them.

But it's really about knowing when you're putting the masks on to protect yourself and when you're putting on this aspect of yourself to really share and give out to the world.

And it's through this practice that you can tap into that voice and that authentic self and really become the director of your life rather than just one particular character in it.

So let's get into it.

This is again what I want to call in is to bring us through this process of really connecting to the heart, of allowing for the gut and heart, these parts of our body that are working on these systems that are really important.

You know, we're talking about unconscious here.

On an unconscious level, there's more messages, effort, messages that are moving from the body up towards the mind rather than the mind towards the body.

And so this is not just a way to heal through deep listening, it's also a really somatic way to connect with our bodies and under understand ourselves more deeply.

So we're going to be regulating our nervous system and as we begin to relet.

As we begin to regulate our nervous system, this is to create some profound change for us.

We're also going to be connecting with intention.

This is really empowering us to work with something like a san kalpa or what in some practices of yoga ninja we call also an inner resource.

And this is how we really begin to rewrite those shadow parts of ourselves that I talked about at the beginning.

And through this process we begin to realize, you know, maybe we were showing up as a particular character in our lives that wasn't really true.

You know, when I went through my cancer journey, I realized that there was a lot of myself that was hiding in this anxious state when really I just didn't feel comfortable being myself.

And so it came out with these you know, kind of tendencies and urges to you know, be jittery or talk fast or do these particular things.

And as begin to regulate my nervous system and use practices like yoga Nindra, I started to realize, you know, there was something which softer and slower moving that needed attention within myself.

And I'm sure you'll notice these little nuances within your experience too.

So we're going to discover our authentic voice.

And that is through that intention of really tapping into what is it that I am becoming?

Who am I becoming?

And rather than imagining as some destination that you're going to get to, you can allow that becoming to be a part of the journey and embody it now.

So this is a way to heal not just for yourself but collectively.

If we take a practice like Yoga Nindra and we start sharing it with the world, then yes, that deepener healing that we found within ourselves, the ability to tap into who we are, into what we want to give out into the world, then that is going to create healing not just for you, but every heart, soul, every being that you touch with your words, your voice, your message.

Imagine the impact your deep rest invites.

This makes me feel quite tender because you know, at one point in my journey, before I became a guide of Yoga Nindra, teacher of Yoga Nindra, I didn't know if I had that ability within myself.

I was very shy about it, about feeling like I had something to share.

You know, we call this impostor syndrome, and when I would get these messages, it would be so overwhelming and stills to this day it's sometimes overwhelming.

But how beautiful is it that there have been people that have been impacted by this practice in such a way that I have, you know.

One of the members of the Peace and Rest program shares a thos community is an avalanche of love and hope.

Another listener of the YouTube channel says, thank you so much again, Aila, I've been facing liver disease at thirty three and really need your healing words and work to comfort my being.

You are loved, And then hearing other messages like I've been listening to you for over a year for the purpose of sleep.

I listen every night.

I usually fall asleep within minutes after years of struggling to fall asleep.

If I miss a night, I don't fall asleep as quickly and I struggle to sleep.

I'm so grateful to you and these messages.

They're not reserved to me.

And it's because of these messages that I actually felt called to share this practice with you through the Peace and Rest program of taking us through that transition of living the practice to leading the practice, because there's many of you that understand a level of healing that I might not have connection to.

And if we can bring your voice into this practice, your message into this practice, you could really impact and heal people's hearts, heal people's wounds.

And that's what the world is calling for right now.

That is what is in the air.

We can do this.

We can do it now.

Some of you already know my story, and I'm so grateful for you to reach out and connect with me on that.

This is actually what I'm sharing with you, a document that you'll get sent if you decide to enroll in the program.

So I'll let you have a chance to read over some of my journey.

But what I will share is that the practice of Yoga Ninja has completely transformed my life.

I came from the background of just really being hard on myself, you know, not feeling a sense of enoughness.

I had wounds that really troubled me, influential moments in life that really troubled me, and I didn't know how to really step forward.

And Yoga Nindra allowed for me to lay down.

You know.

We call it corpse posts shivasna.

And so what we're doing is is we're allowing ourselves in this practice to access peace by laying in a full surrender.

But that's not where my journey began.

I went to India and I studied there, and I studied the philosophy of yoga, and when I came back, I started to live out that philosophy of yoga.

But I was doing it based off of some of the experiences and the wounds of my past.

And so I've realized as that accumulated, I began to feel such a level of disease in my body that it manifested into what was diagnosed as a rare form of cancer, leukemia was by phenotypic leukemia, and I, after I was told that it was terminal, I continued on with this practice and through using intention, through using awareness, and discovering peace with death.

It was this philosophy around the practice.

It was the teachings behind this practice that really were the light that shone through the dark for meat and in ways, I went on that journey and it felt kind of lonely, and I wish that I had had this what I'm creating now, which is why I'm creating it, which is a path for us to not have to go through that light alone, and if you have had to go through that light, that dark period of your life alone, this is a way for us to connect together, to support each other and shine light into those shadows of ourselves.

And so I've shared this on YouTube as you're hearing it now on the podcast, as you're hearing it now, and now I'm feeling that in my body and my bones.

It makes me feel a bit emotional actually that I'm ready and I believe that you are too, so we can do this.

So how does it work?

How does it work?

There's two parts to the program and it begins in March twenty twenty five.

This is going to be the inaugural class.

And that's why this is so sensitive and meaningful for me because those of you that join on this program now are going to be the bearers of this beautiful light carrying on through.

And I know I keep on saying light, but I'm not all love and light because if it wasn't for that darkness, it wasn't for that shadow, then I wouldn't be where I am today to even share this.

So the Nova Nidra for Living is a foundational phase that focuses on self discovery.

So it's about embodying this practice and using it in a way that's going to help you get that deeper rest, but also so that you can better understand yourself.

And I give you the tools that you need to really explore that for yourself as well.

And in this phase, this is where we can rest and transform and regardless of whether you want to teach it or not, there's so much that you can share with the world through this experience.

Then we go into the second phase of the program, and this is where we build on that foundation, and this is what we do to prepare ourselves to confidently share the practice of yoga Nindra or nonsleep deep reast, either through in person, one on one sessions if you're maybe a coach, or online sessions if you want to offer it online zoom calls, or even perhaps on the platforms that I share them on as well and record them.

And this is really the part of the program that's meant to empower you to transform this practice for you in a way that can give you the ability to be a heartfelt leader within this modality.

And we are going to have an online program that's listed out for you.

I've got all the different modules within both parts of the program, but we also have a flexible and supportive format.

So if you are not able to complete all of the components within that three month container, that's completely fine.

I am there to support you through that three months, and the beautiful part is that I'll also continue to support you afterwards.

So this isn't going to a training getting all the material and then being sent out without the support.

You're going to have the resources of connecting with me on live calls, but during this container, we're going to go through the materials together.

We'll connect on a call twice a week, and then from there we'll have that ongoing support where I'll also be offering workshops and ways to refine and tune into different parts of that program.

So it doesn't end.

It continues to support and hold you through your process of becoming a Novennidra Yoga Nindra teacher.

And this is the beautiful, beautiful part.

We heal together.

This is what we're doing.

We're healing together.

And you know, I really resonate with this concept or archetype of the wounded healer, because the wounded healer is one that has gone through the experience has you know, felt that trudge, gone through the trenches, and it's that resilience through going through those experiences and still returning to the why, to the intention, to the sang kalpa what we call a heartfelt desire or inner resource, and knowing that this is a journey of radical self discovery where you're going to discover the depths of your inner wisdom and learn how to share it in a way that creates profound change for the world.

And this is because the world is truly waiting for you to share this, because you know exactly how to speak to the person that needs to hear it, because you've been there.

And so if you're feeling called to do this, then I encourage you to enroll, to apply to the program and get on a call with me so that we can talk about the next steps.

And if you want to learn a little bit more, I'll get into some more details here.

So Part one, a little bit more refined details, is that we're going to have those weekly calls.

You're going to have lifetime access as an inaugural member to the Nova Nidra for a Living program, and we're going to go over the eight modules that are in there.

This is going to also have exclusive recordings and the Piece and Rest program, and there's over one hundred nondras in the library and opportunities for self practice.

In part two, you're going to have lifetime access to the teacher training as well, and that's for any member that joins the Novenata for leading as well as any ongoing updates.

And we'll continue on the two weekly life calls while we're in the container of the program, and then we'll have workshops and trainings that are happening afterwards that will be a part of your practice.

You'll have novascripts to work with as well as templates that I'm going to offer to you.

And you're going to get hours for self practice, but also for practicum to have peer reviews and become certified as a Yoga Nidra noven Nidra Non Sleep Deep Breast Guide.

Now, this also includes credits.

If you are someone that is a yoga teacher that has wants to continue your education, this is also going to be available to you to continue those credits onward.

But I want to remind you if you are listening and you don't have a teacher training, that's completely fine.

Once you are done this, you will nearly have a bachelor's degree and you'll get address.

So this is really going to support you in this practice and how to share it.

So you'll be certified under the Peace and Rest program.

Andrea len Nova the modules again, I'll just go over those briefly with you.

In Part one Nova Nature for a Living.

We're going to go through ceremony, which is really creating sacredness around our practice, sacred being, which is creating sacredness with ourselves senses in Sankalpa, this is understanding the senses of our practice as well as what the inner resource or the heartfelt intention is to really understand ourselves more deeply.

And then we go into the layers of being.

The layers of being are what we call in the Yogic realm the koshas, and the koshas are these layers of ourselves that really are what make this such a holistic way of approaching our inner healing, making peace with the past, or being able to create and live into a manifesto of our future in real time, so it all will come together so beautifully.

And then we're going to go into this beautiful moment where we shift from that living space into the leading space.

And when we make that shift, this is when we step into the seat of the teacher, of the guide, of the leader, the heart led leader.

This is this is now where we're going to access the source of our creation, this creation being our yogan intra scripts, whether we share them through our writing or transmission, which is when we share it in the moment as what is being called to us and understanding heartfelt intention, how you can help others discover their heartfelt intention or hold space for them to do that.

You know, it's not that I'm here to tell you what your intentions are.

I'm not here to tell you what you're about to create.

I'm here to hold space for you to shine and begin to brighten the horizon with your expression, your authentic expression of this practice.

And that's why we're going to move into a module around your words, using the words in the way that this beautiful practice in technology is meant to be used.

Your voice, how to access your voice in a way that's going to command groundedness within your body, but also expression for everyone around you.

And community module on how to create community, whether that's how you're going to share that with the world, around you, or how you can bring that world around you closer so that you can really foster an environment where people begin to appreciate this practice in a way that you can share with them what it is that they need to understand more deeply, whether it's the koshas or they're san kalpa, or ways that they can position their body so they feel more comfortable.

This is really just you stepping into how to bring it all together.

So really that collective feeling that we're feeling in the air.

So why choose the piece and rest program?

This is really something to answer for yourself.

I know there's a lot of programs out there.

I know that a lot of programs are going to give you a lot of the basics of what you need to know in order to kind of understand yoga nidra.

But what I feel separates this program, at least in my eyes, from my backing of taking other yoga practices and trainings, is that and meditation trainings, is that this is one that isn't really just meant to give you information.

This is meant to embody the wisdom of this practice and really transform through this practice.

And you know, when I first took my Yoga teacher training Yoga Ninja teacher training.

It was a three month process and I didn't even feel as though the transformation even really began until it was over, and then I could start to feel everything begin to shift.

So this is why I wanted to offer to you a lifetime access to this, And as a founding member, you're going to have access to both portions of the program, which is beautiful because this is really going to be shaping and lighting the way for those who decide to learn and share the practice themselves.

And because this is focused so deeply on the nervous system, this is a space that when you need to bring that energy, those energy waves down and really get back into your body, this will be here to support you.

And what makes it even more unique is that I know I've mentioned this is that it's not all loveingly.

You know, I didn't go through my cancer journey just looking at the positive side of things.

You know, when death confronts you, when mortality, your immortality confronts you, you are brushed up against the shadow.

There's you know, some people may want to avoid it, but for myself, I felt like I didn't want to when I was under the impression my end was near.

I didn't want to leave with all of that luggage, you know.

I wanted to empty out the suitcase a bit and let it all air out, get some air, making the clothes breezy and feeling like sunshine again.

And that's why this is so beautiful to do in community, because we can work through these the shadow parts together.

And this is backed by my experience of doing that.

I have the I have that experience of going through the dark night, of really having to meet my endings, and through that I feel I have something to share with you.

Let me help you process that as well.

So this is going to be an intimate container.

It's going to be a sacred container where we transform perhaps those wounds that pain into something really beautiful, something that can blossom into the community and into the world around you.

And this is going to be done in a creative way.

This is going to be done in a meaningful way for you to experience it.

The Dark Knight method is something that came to me in my Dark Knight that helped me process those experiences, and a lot of my writing and a lot of my scripts came from that space.

So this is also going to incorporate some other sort of fun things like walking the dog, which is more of a metaphor, and I really am looking forward to diving into that with you, and I'll just give you some insight and that walking the dog is the reminder that we also need to take ourselves out.

You know, lying down in shavasana and laying in corbs pose or in this process isn't necessarily the only way that we can move through this.

We also have to balance the yin yang energy.

So walking the dog is like reminding ourselves that we need to get out there too.

So I look forward to sharing more little techniques like that through this process as well.

And again, as I mentioned, the layers of our being are not avoiding any part of our humanity.

So when we're going through this process, it's really looking at it in a holistic way, and that's what makes Yoga Nidra Non Sleep, Deep Breast really special.

The program features are you're going to have lifetime access.

There's a global community.

We have someone from all over North America.

There's people that are from Iceland, there's people from different parts of Europe.

We've got someone from Thailand, Australia.

I'd love to bring someone on that's in South America.

That would be so beautiful.

And we've also got flexible learning, So like I said, you can learn well you're at home, reading through the materials or on your phone or tablet, but you can also take your time with it.

The three month containers there to hold space for you and do this together as a collective.

But if you need a little extra time, you can do that.

And this is also not just based in the ancient wisdoms, but also some of the more modern science shares that are coming up now about the neuroscience space around yogin intra, around the way that it affects our nervous system, all of the different ways that it helps our body restore and replenish.

This is really such a beautiful time where science is beginning to really back up a lot of this ancient wisdom and I'm quite excited to share that with all of you.

So you might have a couple of questions and I'd love to answer those for you now.

So I'm going to go through some of these, but if you find that there's none, that there's one that I haven't mentioned, please leave it comments and I be happy to answer that for you.

So will you have live opportunities for mentorship.

Yes, we are going to be doing those weekly zoom calls and I will be there to support you, answer questions, give you guidance if you if you require or ask for that, and also opportunity to practice teach.

When do you start training and how long does it take?

So again I've mentioned this before, March eleventh, twenty twenty four is going to be our start date.

This is a three month container, but it can extend onward if you need it, so it's quite flexible.

When are the live calls?

The live calls are going to be twice a week, one on Tuesday, one on Wednesday.

But know that they're recorded so you don't actually have to attend them, but I would love it if you did, because I just love connecting with all of you and seeing your faces, and they will be able to be listened to afterwards as well.

On average, what are the weekly time commitments?

So there's live calls, you can watch those at your own leisure, and then after those calls, I would suggest probably practicing yoga nidra a minimum of three times in a week so that you are feeling really relevant with the practice, and this is going to ensure that you have a nice, strong foundation if you're going to share that with the community.

And what if you can't attend a live zoom call as mentioned, They'll be recorded, not to worry there and you can watch them as many times as you need to in order to understand that material.

Is there a practice teaching component?

Absolutely, Each module is going to build your confidence in the practice and create a way for you to feel confident in delivering your yoga, Nindra or NSDR sessions.

And the program includes opportunities for you to do this so that you're going to really feel quite supported while you move into that wherever you'd like to share it outside of the program.

Do we offer scholarships Currently there are no scholarships.

I do believe that this program is going to offer everything that you need and support you.

But I want to make sure that this is something that you can work with in your budget, so I have payment plans that are available to you and when you get this, you'll have all of that information once you have enrolled.

And then of course, if you want to hop on a call and get some clarity with some of the questions, need some additional support before enrolling fully into the program.

Feel free to do that.

I'd love to connect with you and make you feel really empowered about your decision.

And how long do I have access to the training?

As mentioned the inaugural class, the first class that's joining is going to have a lifetime access to both the programs, the Living Program and the Leading Program.

Will I receive a certificate upon completion?

Yes, you will.

You will get a certificate.

It will be sent to you.

It is going to have a seal on it there.

It is legit you.

I am so excited to have Nova Nidra support your offerings moving forward.

And also for those of you that want your certification to be uploaded into the Yoga Alliance, you have that option to one hundred credit hours, although I do believe this program could probably be worth more of those.

I'll determine that after the first inaugural class and of course update you if you need those hours too.

So thank you for tuning in.

Let me know if you have any other other questions, one of them during the live.

I'll share some of the questions that were during the live that I can remember.

One of them was asking if it if they can share Yoga Nindra in another language than English, or use their own personal language to share in practice.

And yes, you absolutely can't as long as you feel comfortable with the teachings given by myself in English.

Then I am so happy and actually quite excited about the opportunity to work with you and support you in sharing the practice in your own another language.

Another question that was asked that I had from someone was about if they had to use their voice, because they wanted to make sure that they could still participate even if they were unable to speak.

And I wanted to let you all know that I would love that for you because there is so much that you can gather from this program, and even if you don't share it vocally, you can share it by writing scripts.

And honestly, I would love to read one of your scripts and share one of your scripts with our community.

So yes, please please join even if you are unable to speak.

And then the other question was is Yoga Nidra is something that you could use towards a profession, So for those of you that are in therapeutic settings, whether you're in therapeutic settings, coaching, even some in the medical realm would be interested in this too.

This is all an opportunity for you to take what you know and share it in a beautiful way.

So yes, you can use that within other professional fields.

Another question was if you could make a living doing yoga nidra, and that is completely up to you.

I know that I love sharing this practice, and you could coach people with this practice and use it with other modalities like somatic work as well, or there's it's unlimited what you can do with this.

I know that for myself I'm now sharing it with all of you through this lens.

So I'm really grateful to be able to have this opportunity and to have touched your heart in some way that you have listened all the way through to this part.

I hope that I answered everything that you might have been wondering, but that's okay.

If you feel like there was more that you wanted to inquire about, please book a call.

You'll just need to go to alen nova dot com and I'll leave all of those links in the notes below so that you can book in and get enrolled to come into the program.

You'll get this pdf sent to you when you enroll and a link to book in so that we can chat about the next steps.

So, since we are closing with the new moon in Aquarius, it being the lunar New Year, I can feel in the air that we are calling to heal together, and so I am this moment encourage you to call in what it is that you want to see moving into your future, into that light.

I'm calling in the healers, the feelers, the artists, the creatives, the yogis, and anyone who wants to take their yoga najer practice and begin to share that and express that in a way that they never have been aviul to before.

So have a wonderful evening and thank you for being here, Rest well, be well.

And that's
