This accessible and experiential training explores how yoga, breathwork, meditation, and lifestyle strategies can support healthier sleep and a more regulated nervous system. Open to yoga teachers in the Radiance Yoga 300-hour Teacher Training program, healthcare providers, wellness professionals, and any student interested in deepening their understanding of rest, this course blends modern sleep science with ancient yoga wisdom to provide a comprehensive approach to improving sleep quality.
Whether you attend virtually or in person, you’ll learn practical tools including down‑regulating postures and breathwork, yoga nidra, and lifestyle strategies grounded in evidence that you can integrate into both your professional work and personal life. The program is co‑taught by yoga teacher and yoga therapist Celeste Johnston, M.S., E‑RYT 500, C-IAYT and clinical psychologist and the FBI’s sleep expert Dr. Leah Kaylor, PhD, MSCP, making it a rich and balanced exploration of mind, body, and rest.
Dr. Kaylor has authored the book If Sleep Were A Drug: The Science of Sleep Optimization: Biohack Your Brain, Body, and Performance, a practical resource written with first responders in mind but is relevant to anyone interested in yoga, stress management, and getting a better night’s sleep. Reading this book is encouraged but not required for the training.
Perfect for anyone seeking better sleep, stress reduction, or deeper knowledge, this training offers a welcoming, supportive environment and practical skills you can apply immediately.
