Across ~25 days residential and roughly 200 contact hours, the cohort moves through foundational practice, teaching skills, and supervised practicum. Nirvana Yoga School India structures the work around the standard arc for this tradition: deepening of personal practice, study of source materials, observation and co-teaching of groups, written reflection, and feedback from faculty. Where the program lists named modules, those appear in the school's own curriculum sheet; the directory does not invent module names that are not on the source page. Inquiry is central. In the Yoga Nidra tradition, the teacher's job is less to deliver content than to hold a frame inside which participants can notice their own experience. Most credible teacher trainings in this field weight inquiry skill heavily across the curriculum. Students should expect daily personal practice across the program, plus retreat or intensive components depending on the tradition. The school's onboarding materials list specific reading, recordings, and pre-program participation requirements.
