The InnerPower Method: from doing to just Being
The practice of Yoga Nidra is as ancient as the practice of Yoga itself.
Teachings date back thousands of years and can be found in the wisdom teachings of the Upanishads, Classical Yoga, and in the Tantric tradition.
A single method for reaching Yoga Nidra does not exist. No one owns it. It is universal.
Over the years Ilse-Marie Sobering studied, experienced and taught different forms of Yoga Nidra.
She was inspired by both traditional and modern schools: the traditional Yoga Nidra teachings of Swami Rama and Swami Satyananda, and the more modern approaches of iRest by Richard Miller and the Amrit (I AM) method.
The InnerPower Method brings together the most powerful traditional Yoga Nidra practices in a modern, down-to-earth approach, structured around three simple movements: LAND, BREATHE, FEEL.
LAND — you arrive. You feel the floor, the mat, the bed beneath you.
BREATHE — you change nothing about your breath, you simply notice it.
FEEL — you look at what is there, without needing to fix or explain it.
A structured, step-by-step Yoga Nidra practice
Within the InnerPower Method, Yoga Nidra follows a structured series of mindfulness techniques, breath, body and awareness work, that progressively guide you from the thinking mind into feeling sensations in the body.
From there you sink into a deep and profoundly restorative state of being. The practice is designed to bring you into the current moment, into the now.
It offers a way to feel your wholeness, and to tap into an inner resource of steadiness and energy that does not depend on your circumstances.
The InnerPower Method draws on current understanding of the nervous system and energy work, combined with the traditional practice of Yoga Nidra. It uses breathwork, gentle body awareness, relaxation techniques and self-massage during the internalisation stage, to support and balance your system.
Special attention goes to the connection between heart and nervous system: cultivating gratitude and a settled feeling in the chest can make the Yoga Nidra practice even more supportive in interrupting a stress response, even in the middle of a busy day.
In our trainings, you learn to use these different tools independently, and how to combine them in whatever way best suits you in any given moment.
