NEW Bonus Sessions!
Beginning January 2025, for the duration of your training you will be included in both the Monthly Radical Rest Sunday's and one full series of my public class pre-registered 4 week sessions. These are held via zoom . This will give you an opportunity to fulfill your requirements as well as become a part of the Seven Seeds Yoga Nidra community. There will be an optional Q & A at the end of each class for all participants. This is a great learning tool for you to listen to the type of inquiries that come from not only your fellow trainees but also the community. These sessions will renew every 4 weeks. Once a session begins, if you are not registered through me, you will have to wait for the next monthly session. Please note , you are not required to attend all sessions, this is just an added opportunity for you to practice. These sessions are recorded and you will also have access to the recordings.
Hello there, I’m Sheila
It is my passion and honour to teach the Power of Quiet and the magic of intentional living through the creation and practice of my Seven Seeds Yoga Nidra program. In a world of constant and often chaotic change it is a "coming home".
I grew up in a big loud family- smack in the middle of 8 kids. It took some very creative maneuvering to find peace and quiet. These skills have served me well through the years and I love sharing the personal tools I have cultivated through teaching and educating trainers in the practices of Yoga Nidra, somatic exploration, breath work and presence.
There is a joy in teaching people how to listen for the kind voice of their heart and the true home of their deepest uniqueness. Through committed intention, guided journeys and deeply restorative rest, your students will benefit profoundly. This is a practice of listening...

FAQ's
What is the time commitment for this course?
This is a self directed course. You will have plenty of time to finish in the suggested 12 month deadline. I do offer additional resources should you be interested in a deep dive but these are not required reading. If you are like me- interested in geeking out on certain concepts then it might possibly expand your timeline. Most people will finish in 6-12 months.
What if I choose to cancel my enrollment?
You have full access to the material -including the training manual once you pay for the course. Because of this there is a "No Cancellation" policy.
Please consider carefully before signing up.
