Illuminating the Path of Yoga Since 2014

OUR STORY

A Journey of Transformation

Nidra Yoga Foundation was established on November 24th, 2014, with a vision to share the authentic teachings of yoga with the world. What began as a small school in the serene coastal town of Varkala, Kerala, has grown into a beacon of light for spiritual seekers and yoga enthusiasts worldwide.

Our journey has been one of dedication, passion, and unwavering commitment to preserving the traditional essence of yoga while making it accessible to modern practitioners. We believe that yoga is not just a physical practice but a transformative path that integrates mind, body, and spirit.

Over the years, we have empowered thousands of students to become confident, inspired yoga teachers, each carrying forward the light of yoga to their communities. Our comprehensive and uniquely designed courses stand apart, ensuring that every graduate emerges as a beacon of inspiration in their own right.
