TTC OVERVIEW
Stillness as Medicine is a 12-day, 100-hour Yin Yoga & Yoga Nidra immersive teacher training course designed to explore rest as a therapeutic, teachable practice. This training is not about performance, intensity, or acquiring more techniques to do. It is about learning how to slow down with intelligence, listen to the body and nervous system, and hold space for stillness in a way that is safe, grounded, and effective.
Each day weaves together embodied practice, anatomy and nervous-system education, self-inquiry, and teaching methodology, allowing students to experience Yin and Nidra from the inside while also understanding how and why these practices work.
Rather than offering constant stimulation or information overload, the training is intentionally structured with integration time, quiet reflection, and low-stimulation windows – supporting depth, clarity, and sustainable learning that can be carried into both personal practice and professional teaching.
What Makes This TTC Different
This training is a response to a culture of over-effort, over-teaching, and under-resting – both in yoga spaces and in daily life. Yin Yoga and Yoga Nidra are often taught as techniques, but rarely as therapeutic, nervous-system-informed practices rooted in safety, awareness, and integration. Stillness as Medicine has been created to offer a slower, deeper, and more responsible approach: one that honours rest as a skill to be learned, embodied, and taught with care.
