During this 2-day course, you will explore:
• What Yoga Nidra is and how it works
• The five koshas (the 5 layers of being) as a map for guided inner awareness
• How to build and structure a full Yoga Nidra session
• Guiding body scans, breath awareness and visualisations
• Creating your own Yoga Nidra scripts
• Voice use, language and rhythm in guidance
• Trauma-sensitive and safety-aware facilitation
• Adapting Yoga Nidra for different target groups
• Holding space for deep rest and emotional release
Key benefits of Yoga Nidra:
Regular practice of Yoga Nidra may support:
• Deep physical relaxation
• Nervous system regulation and reduced stress
• Improved sleep quality
• Recovery from fatigue and burnout
• Reduced anxiety and mental overactivity
• Greater emotional balance
• Improved focus and mental clarity
• Increased self-awareness
• Release of accumulated tension
• A lasting sense of inner calm and steadiness
Beyond these core effects, Yoga Nidra may also support immune function, emotional processing, creativity, resilience, and overall well-being. Many practitioners report feeling more grounded, more connected to themselves, and better able to navigate daily challenges with clarity and ease.
While individual experiences vary, the practice offers a structured way to access deep rest — something many of us are, unfortunately, no longer accustomed to.
Yoga Nidra from the Kosha perspective
From a traditional yogic viewpoint, Yoga Nidra works through the five koshas — the five layers of being, which we will explore throughout the course.
It begins with awareness of the physical body (Annamaya kosha), moves through the breath and energy body (Pranamaya kosha), calms the mental and emotional field (Manomaya kosha), and may bring greater clarity and insight (Vijnanamaya kosha).
Over time, this can support a deeper sense of contentment and inner ease (Anandamaya kosha).
This layered approach is what makes Yoga Nidra both simple and profound at the same time.
Why choose this 20h Nidra course:
There are a lot of Yoga courses on the market. You should choose one that feels good.
I have done several (teacher training) courses in the past and have learned what I find important in a course.
I am a down-to-earth yogi who will offer you a professional, comprehensive and well-structured course that I have created with a lot of passion. I have learned so much that I would like to share with you. As for many of us, a yoga course is a big positive turning point in my life and a beautiful journey. I hope it will be for you too.
You will find a lot of teacher training centres that have courses in huge groups.
I have chosen to work with smaller groups. This creates a nice and intimate setting, where people can feel safe and can share their experiences openly.
Working with a small group allows me to give you a lot of attention and personal feedback.
What students say about my courses
~ Patrice Rannou, Bonaire, February 2024
“I attended the 50h Yin YTT with Jane, and it was beyond my expectations. I have practised with her already for three years. I usually take Vinyasa classes.
Fifty hours might seem like a short amount of time, but it was spread over two long weekends on Bonaire and she shared loads of information.
Jane is very knowledgeable about anatomy and breathing, especially regarding this subject, and explains it very clearly. In addition, we learned about Yin asanas, sequencing, philosophy, pranayama, energy systems and much more.
Jane is an excellent teacher; passionate, to the point, and she also knows how to make tea. ;-)
If a 50h Yin YTT is on your list and you have the opportunity to attend one of Jane's trainings, do it!”
~ Jennifer Beaulieu, Bonaire, February 2024
“I have been practising with Jane for a few years now when I visit the island and I recently participated in her Yin TTC in Bonaire and it was an absolutely amazing experience! Jane is such a beautiful person and she teaches with such passion! I have been practising yoga for many years and in these two weekends I learned so much that I can take home to my practice and hopefully one day share with others. I met some amazing people that I will never forget. This experience was physically good for me but it was also good for my soul and I attribute that to Jane and her wonderful teaching style.
If you have the opportunity I strongly suggest you participate in one of her classes or courses!!”

YOUR TEACHER
Jane Bakx
I am truly looking forward to sharing this Yoga Nidra training with you. Throughout the course — both on Bonaire and in the Netherlands — I will personally guide all lectures and practices.
My foundation in Yoga was shaped during my teacher trainings in India, and my understanding of Yoga Nidra deepened through specialised training with James Reeves from ‘Deep Rest’.
Over the years, Yoga Nidra has become an essential part of my own practice, mainly for finding deep relaxation.
What I particularly love about Yoga Nidra is its simplicity and depth, and the many ways in which it can be guided with care, presence and awareness.
I look forward to exploring and practising this beautiful guided meditation together.

REVIEWS
What ex-students say about my courses
“I would like to give Jane a big compliment for the guidance of my Yin Yoga teacher training, at the fantastic location Heart to Heart in Bussum. As one of the two men in the group, I have developed myself with my limited experience into a starting teacher with passion! It is a strong curriculum, with a nice link to the practical Yin Yoga exercises. Jane manages to bind and captivate the group. As far as I'm concerned, she is the teacher to follow your Yoga training/deepening with!
Jane, thank you very much!”
~ Kevin Van Der Sande, Netherlands, November 2022
"Recently, I participated in a 50-hour Yin Yoga training with Jane Bakx in Orgiva, Spain. Jane is exceptionally skilled as a yoga teacher. I enjoyed the week at Almond Hill House and the organic and biodynamic food, but most importantly, I enjoyed the training. I learned a lot about Yin and discovered its essence. Jane is an excellent teacher. Her Yin classes were superb, as were her lessons in anatomy and philosophy. All of this took place in a beautiful setting. Jane, thank you for your guidance, patience, warmth, and hospitality."
~ Silvia van Woezik, Netherlands, September 2024
“I recently completed a Yin Yoga Teacher Training with Jane, and her patience, dedication, and passionate approach made all the difference. Her warm and caring personality created a safe environment where everyone felt comfortable, while her detailed explanations of anatomy enhanced our understanding of Yin Yoga's benefits. I left feeling inspired and ready to teach Yin Yoga myself. I highly recommend Jane's program if you seek Yin Yoga teacher training!”
~ Paulinka Roemer-Schipper, Curaçao, March 2024
“I participated in Jane's 50h yin yoga teacher course on Curaçao. Initially with the aim of becoming the best yogi possible. You will receive a lot of information about anatomy, philosophy, etc. and you will practice with the poses individually and in groups (how to be a guide). Alternated with a yin class that she gives herself for relaxation. (wonderful). She brings all this in a very relaxed atmosphere. She responds well to what is happening, little escapes her. If necessary, she returns to topics and issues that are being discussed (very alert).
In short, excellent lessons for both those who want to use it for their own practice and for prospective yoga teachers.
Thank you very much for everything Jane 🙏”
~ Paul van den Berg, Curaçao, March 2024
“Thank you so much for this very special week!
I thought it was very special, that you really try to share everything you know and don’t hold back in order to make everyone the best teacher they can be.
I feel deeply inspired. One of the many things I learned is that breathing in is also called INSPIRATION!
Much love!”
~ Annette Rieger, Belgium, October 2019
“I recently joined the BREATHE pranayama and breathwork course on Bonaire with Jane Bakx.
A heartfelt thank you to the incredible instructor Jane for her wisdom, guidance, and grounded presence throughout the course 🙏 I can highly recommend her to anyone looking to deepen their breathwork practice.”
