Testimonials
“I highly recommend Mona Anand’s ISHTA Yoga Nidra Course to anyone who wants to learn more about this powerful practice. Mona’s knowledge of the science, energetics, and healing qualities of Yoga Nidra is incomparable to anyone else’s in the field. Her love & passion for yoga is only surpassed by her generosity of spirit. Learning from Mona is an absolute delight.” - Sarah Finger, ISHTA Yogiraj
The transmission of this work from Mona to her students is nothing short of magical. Her tremendous knowledge and insights of yoga coupled with her well-known humor is a potent combination. However, when the transmission is yoga nidra there is something almost other-wordly that occurs. Her passion for this work is in every word she speaks, whether one is being guided through a yoga nidra or is in the midst of learning this powerful technique from her. Mona creates a warm and engaging environment that allows for an even more satisfying learning experience.” ~ Tisha Ford, ISHTA Yoga Teacher, RYT-500
The real journey of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in seeing with new eyes” quote by Marcel Proust. This quote came to life for me when I experienced Mona’s 3 day yoga nidra course in May 2023. After a career in corporate America, I needed a reset, a transformational experience going within after so much external focus and conditioning to look for external validation. I experienced an internal shift and an experience of peace, acceptance and joy. Mona transports you through guided meditations that are unique and powerful. She gives you the keys to go inside and find your joy within. Don’t hesitate, step into your power and experience the world with new eyes :).” - Maeve Coburn, ISHTA TT Grad
“I took Mona’s Yoga Nidra course because I was curious about meditation in all its forms. I never knew about the power of the hypnagogic state, or that there was a way to tap into that power to bring about different effects in the mind and body. Learning Yoga Nidra from Mona is a rare and valuable experience that will stay with you. Her passion for this practice really shows, as well as her ability to bring you to an expanded state of consciousness, all while teaching you how to bring that gift to others.” – Amanda Baehr Fuller, ISHTA TT Grad
"As a student, I regularly attend Mona’s classes and workshops and have benefitted from Mona’s Yoga Nidra Trainings enormously. It is a simple and profound tool to help my nervous system, body and mind relax deeply. I use yoga nidra to re-charge, to relax before sleep and after I wake up if I have had a restless sleep. Yoga nidra has helped me with my regular yoga practice, with connecting to meditation and is one of the reasons I can live in an intense city like NYC with grace. For those wanting to deepen their practice, as a sweet alternative to meditation, and for an effective, simple relaxation tool, this is it. The trainings are essentially a retreat for 3 days with life changing benefit." - Robin Benitz, ISHTA 500-Hour Graduate
“I am so grateful for having taken Mona’s Yoga Nidra Course! It is immensely beneficial to teachers who want to incorporate yoga nidra in to our classes, and students who simply want to incorporate yoga nidra in to their own lives. During the course, we were given a lot of really helpful information on the individual steps that make up yoga nidra, as well as scientific reasons behind why and how it works. All fascinating! Mona manages to. weave all of this wonderful information together in a fun, practical, and very creative manner. Her brilliance in her knowledge of all these areas is so profoundly inspiring and her enthusiasm and presence are always a sheer delight. Thank you, Mona”- Dionyssia Fillios, ISHTA Yoga Teacher, RYT-500
“This is the most valuable speciality course I have taken. As a yoga teacher, the tools offered by Mona Anand have been very important in many parts of how I structure my classes, from how I bring my students into a state of focus and good feeling, to the final relaxation. My Yoga Nidra practice has transformed my life, I am able to calm down and sleep better, as well as be more present in daily life. I am so grateful that this training is offered.”~ Jenny Bloom, ISHTA Yoga Teacher, RYT-500
”What a great training! Packed with well rounded information about Yoga Nidra. Fun, inspiring, and easy to incorporate into my teaching and my own practice. And FUN, did I mention fun?! Mona is a fantastic teacher.”~ Mark Waterman, Massage Therapist, Marma Trainer, Yoga Teacher
“Thank you. The scope of the series is so comprehensive, expansive and seamless and the depth of knowledge and wisdom informing the artful teaching so integrated that I am in awe. I thank you. Even the 3 hour class yesterday with the expanded yoga nidra after the asana flow (with restorative!) was a master class in the art of teaching various modules from such a depth of understanding that their connection itself was manifest. In gratitude. “ - Shailly Agnihotri, ISHTA 500-Hour Teacher (from Mona’s Yoga Nidra and the Chakras Training)
