Creativity, Yoga, Rest & Dream Retreat with Uma Dinsmore-Tuli by Yoga United

Saturday 3 Feb - Monday 12 Feb  2024 

Nine Nights of Creativity, Yoga, Rest and Dream Retreat in Kerala, south India.

Reconnect to your creativity and intuition through daily Total Yoga Nidra and fluid, nourishing yoga in the luscious beauty of Kerala.

Join Uma Dinsmore-Tuli PhD in Cherai Beach, Kerala for nine nights on this nurturing and spacious retreat - there is plenty of time to be nurtured with traditional Ayurvedic massage and treatments from local Ayurvedic doctors and practioners, to swim in the pool and in the warm sea, and to soak up the beautiful surroundings of Vypin island, between the Arabian Sea and the Kerala backwaters.  There are two daily yoga and yoga nidra sessions – in the morning and leading up to sunset, plus amazing vegetarian food (and fish/seafood), and gorgeous villa accommodation.

New for lovers of learning - in addition to the retreat itself, there is an opportunity to study with Uma and receive the Total Yoga Nidra Creativity Immersion Certificate of completion. The Total Yoga Nidra Creativity Special Immersion course comprises an additional 10 hours of learning as extra morning dream and intuition yoga nidra classes.

This course is booked separately and in addition to this retreat at the Total Yoga Nidra Network website where you will also receive the online version of the Total Yoga Nidra for Creativity Immersion training as a resource. BUY HERE 

Those who already have a certification in yoga nidrā will find this intuitive, and deeply feminine approach provides a whole new perspective on yoga nidrā for creativity. This Total Yoga Nidra Immersion counts as the pre-requisite for the  Total Yoga Nidra Teacher and Facilitator and Training.
