Teacher
Sofya Linkova
Sofya leads the Yoga Nidra program. She has an academic background in theology and philosophy, has studied and practiced yoga since 2005, and has been teaching Yoga Nidra since 2013.
The training is not presented as a shortcut to authority. It focuses on understanding the structure of the practice, learning to lead it carefully, and developing through personal practice and feedback.
Teaching in practice
Sofya teaching contemplative practice.
A real group teaching moment: grounding, body awareness, attention and breath. It gives the Yoga Nidra and meditation material a human context beyond the course outline.
What you study
From personal practice to leading a session.
History & context
Historical overview and the place of relaxation practices in yoga and everyday life.
Structure of Yoga Nidra
Detailed study of the stages, full and reduced variations, and how the parts relate to one another.
Voice, words & timing
Voice management, pauses, intonation, wording and the practical craft of guiding attention.
Safety & ethics
Typical reactions, side effects, unusual experiences, communication and responsible limits.
Modification
How and why a session may need to be adapted rather than repeated mechanically.
Practice materials
Recorded theory, guided practice materials and edited scripts for study and personal training.
Certification
Certification is optional if you only want to study.
The course fee is US$95. Students who want teacher certification can take an additional assessment for US$45.
The current assessment includes a knowledge test and a recorded Yoga Nidra session sent to Sofya for review. Feedback may be given on structure, voice management and other aspects before completion.
Selected feedback
Careful online teaching is visible here too.
The first two public Yoga Nidra reviews already reinforce the same qualities the page is trying to communicate: careful pacing, strong explanation and useful feedback rather than vague wellness language.
“Detailed and thorough instruction.”
Alice notes careful pacing, beautiful practices and helpful feedback on demonstration, despite her initial concern about the online format.
“Professional but kind at the same time.”
Mara describes the course as interesting, complete and enriched by philosophical and historical context as well as practice.
