Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Meditation and Yoga Nidra?

Meditation is an active practice — it requires conscious effort to direct and sustain attention on a chosen object, whether the breath, a mantra, or pure awareness.

Yoga Nidra is effortless by design. You lie down, you are guided, and you simply receive. Where meditation trains the mind, Yoga Nidra restores the entire being. Both are taught in depth on this yoga training in Goa, and knowing when and how to use each is one of the most valuable skills you carry forward as a teacher.

What is Pranayama and how does it relate to Meditation?

Pranayama is the yogic science of breath regulation — and the most direct gateway into a meditative state. When you regulate the breath, you regulate the mind.

At Shreem Yogshala, Pranayama is taught not as a standalone technique but as a bridge — the practice that prepares the body and nervous system for deeper meditation and Yoga Nidra. Understanding this relationship makes you a significantly more effective teacher of all three.

Can I combine this certification with my existing yoga qualification?

Yes — and it is highly recommended. If you have completed a 200 hour yoga teacher training in Goa or elsewhere, this specialisation adds an entirely new dimension to your teaching — one that addresses the mental, emotional, and energetic body alongside the physical.

The Yoga Alliance continuing education hours from this programme can also be logged directly against your existing RYT registration, keeping your credentials active and current.

What is Yoga Nidra and why is it so powerful?

Yoga Nidra, often translated as yogic sleep, is a guided meditation practice that systematically brings the practitioner to the threshold between wakefulness and deep sleep — a state of consciousness where the brain enters alpha and theta wave patterns, the body activates its natural healing response, and deeply held tension, stress, and conditioning begin to dissolve.

A single session of Yoga Nidra is said to offer the equivalent rest of several hours of sleep. It has been widely studied for its effects on anxiety, PTSD, insomnia, chronic pain, and burnout. As a yoga instructor, the ability to guide a Yoga Nidra session is one of the most valuable and sought-after skills you can offer — and it sits at the very heart of this yoga training in Goa.

Is this course beginner friendly?

Yes. This course welcomes students at all levels of experience. You do not need a background in yoga asana, prior meditation experience, or any teaching qualifications to join.

What the course does ask for is a genuine willingness to sit, to observe, and to go inward — and to approach the practices with sincerity and consistency across all 12 days. If that resonates with you, you are ready.
