Brenda is an exceptional teacher. This 100 Yoga Nidra training was amazing. I highly recommend it. I learnt a great deal about myself, Yoga Nidra and how to be a successful instructor. I am grateful for the energy and effort that Brenda has put into this course bringing Yoga Nidra to the world. I can't recommend high enough.
