Are you experiencing high stress? Looking to improve your sleep quality to enhance your longevity and well-being? Are you a health coach, yoga teacher, clinician, or first responder doing shift work and seeking effective ways to recover—and to teach others to do the same?
Join the founders of the internationally recognized First Responder Sleep Recovery Program and learn the neuroscience behind conscious rest techniques that improve sleep, reduce stress, and harness the power of nervous system regulation for true well-being. This Yoga Nidra Teacher Training is a training for a thriving life! It is led by Jacqueline Toomey, a seasoned yoga teacher of 20 years, and Sean Toomey, her firefighter husband. Together, they offer a transformative educational experience that previous students have described as “life-changing,” “transformative,” and a “total game-changer!” Jacqueline Toomey has taught this transformational program in 18 states and 3 Canadian provinces to over 5,000 people. She has been featured in multiple Colorado news stories, multiple Las Vegas news stories, and featured in a national campaign, a minidocumentary by VOX Media in partnership with Fitbit.
The program dives deep into the science of sleep, neuroscience, and polyvagal theory, while also integrating ancient yoga philosophy. You’ll gain a profound understanding of the art and nuance of facilitating trauma-informed Yoga Nidra sessions. Since many people have experienced some form of trauma, this method is taught in a mindful, trauma-sensitive way, ensuring it is accessible and appropriate for everyone. This program is designed for those in high stress and sleep challenged environments, such as first responders, shift workers, nurses or anyone who’s sleep has been affected by the challenges of life. If you are a health coach, clinician, yoga teacher or first responder – this program is for you!
Before the retreat, you will receive 8 pre-recorded educational audio sessions designed to prepare you for the training. (While it’s recommended to complete these over 8 weeks, you can finish them in 4 weeks.) During the retreat you’ll experience daily yoga, educational talks, partnerwork to learn how to facilitate with coaching feedback and daily yoga nidra and guided relaxation practices included sound healing. There will be special musical guest contributors and wonderful surprise experiences. Upon completion, you will earn a 40-hour Trauma-Informed Yoga Nidra L1 Facilitator Certification, accredited by Yoga Alliance International.
Contact our administrative assistant Zoe to enroll: sleeprecoveryevents@gmail.com and visit www.AXSwellness.com for more information. We look forward to soaking with you at Joyful Journeys soon!
