INTERVIEW WITH ISIS


Who are you, what are you doing?

I teach Vinyasa, Yin Yoga, Meditation and now Yoga Nidra! I’m really interested in all the mental health benefits these practices have. My personal practice is my pillar, my main resource. I hope to spread this joy, peace and stability through my classes. I mainly teach groups at the moment. I’d like to teach more private sessions in the future, with the intention of helping people build practices that they can use to support their wellbeing in their daily lives. 

 

Why did you do the Yoga Nidra course?

I chose to do this Yoga Nidra course because I’ve been interested in training in Yoga Nidra for a while and I’ve been waiting for this training to be scheduled, (since finishing the Yin Yoga TT with Ilse and Jane), hoping the time would be right for me when it did. 


 

Why did you choose for the RadiantPeace Yoga Nidra Course?
I didn’t know the RadiantPeace Method before I signed up, but when I read the description on the website I knew I had to do the training because it seemed so complete and so interesting. 

 

What do you think of Ilse? And what do you think of her style of teaching?
I really love Ilse and the way she teaches, she’s very friendly and very supportive. You can tell she has a lot of knowledge to share. All the information in the course is clear, she makes sure to recap and repeat anything important and her Yoga Nidras are magical. 

 

What did you like about the course?

I was pleasantly surprise by the amount of information there is in the course. As well as Yoga Nidra there are a lot of breathwork techniques, mindfulness exercises, a few energy tools and mantra practices too! I also liked that it went really deep into the spiritual background Yoga Nidra comes from, but there is also a lot a science and recent research on the benefits of Yoga Nidra. 

 

What did you like about the course? Can you give an example?

This course has given me so many new tools to use in my other yoga classes, and allowed me to unleash my creativity in all my meditations. I feel like it was what was missing for me as a teacher. The practice of Yoga Nidra is also so beneficial in my personal life. I really love the RadiantPeace Method and so do my students! 

 

I 100% recommend this training! There is so much to learn and practice, all the content is well explained, you can study at your own pace, and ask question during the live sessions.

You also get to connect to the other students during the practice teaching sessions, which is something that is usually missing from online trainings, so it’s perfect!

Je intuïtie beter leren gebruiken door middel van deze simpele ja/nee oefening 
door ilse sobering 16 aug., 2022
Wat is een circulaire ademhaling? Circulaire ademhaling of de verbondenademhaling houdt in: bewust diep ademhalen zonder tussendoor te pauzeren. Er zijn diverse manieren waarop dit gebruikt wordt. Zo is het vaak zo dat deze circulaire ademhaling vaak gebruikt wordt bij ademsessies en ademcirkels. Tijdens deze ademsessies is de instructie vaak dat je focust op de inademing en de uitademing gewoon loslaat . Instructie Deze korte oefening is wat anders. Bij deze ademhaling ademen we 7 seconden in en 7 seconden uit. Dit herhalen we 7 keer. Deze korte oefening zorgt ervoor dat je weer even bij jezelf komt, het helpt je rustig en kalm te worden. Ook zul je merken dat je meer gefocust bent. Deze oefening activeert ook je 7 energie centra, je chakra’s. En wat ik fijn vind, is dat je deze overal even tussendoor kunt doen!

INTERVIEW WITH JEANETTE LIENERT - Yoga Teacher and Graduated student of the RadiantPeace Yoga Nidra Training

You might have seen it online, or you might have heard about it before. Yoga Nidra is very popular. Yoga Nidra, or yogic sleep as it is a really powerful meditation technique. It is a very ancient practice, but now more than ever, very useful to bring some peace in this turbulent crazy time that we are living in! Yoga Nidra is a form of yoga that allows us to enjoy the same feeling that we have when we are in a deep sleep but we are still awake. Yoga Nidra is a profound relaxation practice that helps us to awaken positive energy that is already hidden in our inner self. Yoga Nidra gives us the direct experience that our inner core is stress-free and that unshakable inner peace and joy really exist within rather than outside ourselves. We learn about the temporary nature of our thoughts, feelings, and emotions, and this changes our perspective on stress and on ourselves. Yoga Nidra is a practice in total conscious relaxation. This conscious relaxation state is reached by separating the external awareness of the physical body through various stages. It results in a state where you are asleep with a trace of awareness. Benefits of Yoga Nidra Yoga Nidra helps you to get refreshed, rejuvenated, relaxed and energetic by getting rid of tension, stress and anxiety. With regular practice, your physical and mental health will surely improve as stress diminishes. Yoga Nidra offers a space to explore what you need in the moment, as well as an opportunity to work on releasing long-held emotions. It restores the body, senses, and mind to their natural function. More and more people are convinced that Yoga Nidra is one of the most effective ways to manage and eliminate trauma and stress. Yoga Nidra has proven to change your physical and emotional responses to stress in the short term and for the long run. You will gain a fresh perspective, enabling you to remain calm and in control—even in the midst of chaos. Some of the Benefits of Yoga Nidra: The effects of Yoga Nidra are as profound as they are relaxing: Regulates energy in the body Reduce insomnia and improve sleep Reprogram old belief patterns Release old emotions Calming and balancing for the mind Relaxing both the mind and the body deeply. Stress reduction and ability to release anxiety Stimulates your intuition Boost your Immune system Decreases inflammation Reduces pain. Enhances your creativity Helps you to get more focussed. With a Nidra session you can catch up to 3-4 hours of sleep. It brings a profound sense of joy and well-being. We are not the only fans of Yoga Nidra. Millions of people really love this practice. Yoga Nidra has been one of the most spiritual practices I’ve experienced myself. One of the reasons why is because people often experience deep relaxation, strong healing and profound insight and clarity, just after one single session. The World needs more Yoga Nidra This is such a profound and transformative practice that we believe that the world desperately needs more Yoga Nidra and more qualified Yoga Nidra teachers. Practicing Yoga Nidra is easy, they say it is one of the easiest yoga practices! But teaching it effectively can be complex, because you really need to know what you are doing and follow the correct order. I absolutely love Yoga Nidra, and can say from experience that it has a really huge impact on people. Therefore we have created a special course for you and I’d love to share my knowledge of teaching Yoga Nidra with you. Online Yoga Nidra Course More info about the course
