Yoga Nidra Teacher Certification
After an extensive week of study and training, the InnerRest Yoga Nidra Immersion and Teacher Training, facilitated by long-time Yoga Teacher Leontine Merkies, came to a glorious end, with Desiree and her fellow students earning their Yoga Nidra Teacher Certification.
For those unfamiliar with this practice: Yoga Nidra is a guided meditation technique often described as “yogic sleep,” where you rest in a state between wakefulness and sleep while systematically relaxing the body and mind; it helps shift the nervous system out of chronic stress (sympathetic activation) into deep relaxation (parasympathetic dominance). Regular practice can improve sleep quality, reduce anxiety, enhance emotional regulation, and increase mental clarity.
Within the Sonic Aura holistic stress-relief system, Yoga Nidra works especially well alongside sound therapy, which supports relaxation and brainwave entrainment, and holistic wellness coaching, which helps integrate insights gained during practice into daily habits and mindset shifts. Together, these modalities create a layered approach: Yoga Nidra resets the nervous system, sound therapy amplifies the physiological relaxation response, and coaching ensures lasting behavioral and emotional change.
Yoga Nidra will be introduced soon as a weekly group practice at Sonic Aura Wellness Studio's Garden of Life open-air venue, where we will be able to host groups of up to 12 participants. We advise you to follow our Instagram page, @sonicaura_wellness, to stay informed and find out how you can participate.
Last but not least, we want to take this opportunity to congratulate Desiree and her fellow Yoga Nidra Teachers, Jet, Zoe, Jess, Wendy, and Derin, on this achievement.

New Service Launch:
Gemstone Therapy
Gemstone therapy is a holistic practice that involves using crystals or semi-precious stones, such as amethyst, rose quartz, or clear quartz, to support emotional, mental, and energetic balance. Desiree, a certified Crystal Healing Professional Practitioner, has been working with gemstones on herself as well as with others since 2005, and feels that now is the time to make this practice available to Sonic Aura clients, wth a modern Sonic Aura take on the classic Crystal Healing practice. Desiree firmly believes that each stone carries specific vibrational properties that interact with the body’s subtle energy systems (often described as chakras) to promote healing, relaxation, and clarity. In practice, gemstones are placed on the body or within the energy field to help clear stagnant energies, reduce stress, encourage positive intentions, and enhance self-awareness.

It's a practice that complements our other services perfectly. Many people find this practice very calming and meaningful as part of a broader wellness routine. To book a Gemstone Therapy session, visit the Our Services page.
