Unlock the power of deep rest, healing, and transformation through Sacred Rest: Yoga Nidra Teacher Training, a Yoga Alliance–approved Continuing Education (CEU) program offered in a live, online format.
Yoga Nidra—often called “yogic sleep”—is a guided practice rooted in ancient yogic philosophy that induces a state of conscious rest. It activates the body’s natural healing mechanisms, supports emotional regulation, and promotes nervous system balance. Modern research confirms its profound benefits, including reduced stress and anxiety, improved sleep, and enhanced overall well-being.
Designed for yoga teachers, healers, wellness practitioners, and dedicated students alike, this comprehensive training offers an in-depth exploration of Yoga Nidra through a 12-week live online container, meeting weekly for two hours. This extended format allows for slow, embodied learning, deeper integration, and sustained community support—rather than a condensed, intensive experience.
Each week blends lecture, guided Yoga Nidra practices, somatic inquiry, script development, and teaching labs, all held live via Zoom. Sessions are recorded, so participants can revisit the material and integrate the teachings at their own pace.
The spacious weekly structure supports reflection, practice, and real-life application between sessions. You’ll have time to absorb the teachings, refine your scripts, and grow your confidence as a facilitator, rather than rushing through content.
Through interactive workshops, peer-led teaching practicums, and group dialogue, you’ll develop the skills to confidently guide Yoga Nidra sessions—whether in group classes, private settings, therapeutic environments, or for personal and professional self-care.
This training is fully online and accessible from anywhere, welcoming participants across time zones. It is inclusive and open to all levels of experience. Whether you’re expanding your professional offerings or seeking personal transformation, this journey offers a profound foundation in both the science and soul of rest, held within a supportive and intentional learning community.

“Ursula blends ancient wisdom and modern healing to guide others into deep rest and transformation through the power of Yoga Nidra.”
Meet your Teacher
Born and raised in Mexico, Ursula Pascua grew up immersed in spirituality and mysticism. After immigrating to California and graduating college, she took a group meditation class that sparked a deep and lasting connection to the path of Yoga. What began as curiosity quickly became a way of life—helping her heal from a difficult childhood and restore her body after years of competitive running.
A devoted practitioner since 2008 and teacher since 2019, Ursula has been profoundly shaped by her studies in Vedic philosophy, trauma-informed practices, somatics, the mind-body connection, and energy healing. She is passionate about helping others cultivate personal Yogic practices that bring clarity, balance, and intention to everyday life.
In 2020, she tried Yoga Nidra for the first time—and it became a pivotal turning point in her healing journey. Through its deeply restorative states and access to the subconscious, she experienced transformation on emotional, physical, and energetic levels. Inspired by its impact, she became certified to teach Yoga Nidra and has since shared the practice through immersive workshops, personalized one-on-one sessions, and guided recordings designed to support deep rest, inner healing, and self-reconnection.
In 2024, after years of dedicated practice and teaching, Ursula became a Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider (YACEP), allowing her to formally offer advanced training and continuing education to yoga teachers and wellness professionals seeking deeper study and embodiment.

“My overall experience was a huge blessing of information, connection, wholeness, authenticity, growth and love.” - L.S.
Great experience! Allowed me to fully understand what Yoga Nidra is and what the benefits are. I felt confident to lead a Yoga Nidra practice after the training. - M.C.
The Sacred Rest Yoga Nidra Teacher Training was a beautiful experience. Everything was planned and thought out so intentionally. I really enjoyed creating an altar with the group and collectively calling in what we desire into the space. Ursula held such a beautiful space, allowing time and room for all to speak, share, and participate. I really liked the flow of the training. Nothing felt rushed. I left feeling grounded, rested, loved, and nourished.
