Soma Nidra
A 8-week online Yoga Nidra training for yoga teachers, coaches and therapists ready to guide from embodied capacity & wisdom beyond relaxation scripts
Soma is described in the ancient yogic texts as a healing force that moves you forward, channeled through the body. It is illuminating insight with the action and capacity that creates change.
And that is the key that many modalities often miss or do not offer enough of. You need presence and a nervous system with the capacity to hold the physical, emotional and cognitive demands of transformation that follows on insight.
You already see this in the people you work with. They can describe their patterns in perfect detail, deeply aware, yet unable to choose differently. They return to the same fork in the road, time and again, because they’re overextended, exhausted, or simply don’t have the bandwith.
Soma Nidra demands less and gives more. It draws from many threads and builds that capacity through repeated, direct experience of embodied rest so complete the body learns, at a level words can’t reach, that something different is possible.
This is for you if:
- You're a yoga teacher, coach, therapist or psychologist ready to hold deeper, more embodied space for the people you work with
- You sense your clients or students understand their patterns clearly, but still can't shift them
- You want to guide yoga nidra from felt experience and personal imagery, not a borrowed script
- You're ready to build your own nervous system capacity alongside learning to guide others
- You have no prior yoga nidra experience, just a genuine desire to hold space for people
- You've done a yoga nidra training before, but want a deeper understanding or fresh inspiration

What Students Say About Working With Liezl
About Liezl
My relationship with Yoga Nidra began in 2010, on my first yoga teacher training in India. It gave me the clarity and stability to face difficult changes that were needed to bring my life into healthier alignment, and I’ve returned to it in every hard season since.
In 2024 I was in the depths of postpartum depression, burnout and grief. I was doing real work to move through by seeing a Somatic therapist and dancing my body back into feeling. All of it was helping. Yet all of it also cost me energy
I was struggling to recoup in the balancing act of also being a sleep-deprived mom, a busy business owner, a present partner and more.
I’d take a step toward the person I wanted to be, and then collapse, unable to hold what I’d just opened.
Expansion, then collapse. Expansion, then collapse.
Yoga Nidra once again became the net that caught me in between. By providing the deep enough rest and processing that my body & psyche actually needed in order to integrate everything else.
Expansion. Yoga Nidra. Containment. Momentum.
That rhythm is what let everything else become sustainable.
It’s why I teach it now as a foundational practice, not a fix-it-all or light relaxation.
It is the practice that makes the rest of your efforts find traction.
And I hope you join me on this journey!”
