MEET YOUR TEACHER – Julie Murphy @yogaressa
My yoga teacher journey began in 2007 and I have been guiding Yoga Nidra meditations since 2015. I’m honored to host the leading Yoga Nidra course on Insight Timer*, with over 65,000 enrolled students.
Yoga and meditation saved my sanity long before I became a yoga teacher! They were my anchor for balance and insights during my high-pressure corporate life.
Since then, I've been spreading these life-changing tools through courses, teacher trainings and yoga retreats across the globe.
Now, I’ve distilled that experience into this structured, accessible course especially for you.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do I need prior Yoga Nidra experience?
Students at all levels are welcome! This course meets you where you are, giving you the tools and guidance to enrich your own practice. This may also be your next step in becoming a certified Yoga Nidra teacher.
What makes this different from other online trainings?
This course delivers a clear, structured path free from confusion or overwhelm, with expert guidance from Julie, the creator of Insight Timer's leading Yoga Nidra course. Plus, every module combines conceptual teaching with a guided session to reinforce your learning.
What is the course format?
Self-paced learning with immediate, long-term access to 10 professionally-recorded modules and curated PDF guides, designed to inspire and sustain your practice from day one.
What if I can’t quiet my mind?
Good news: you don't need to quiet your mind – that's the beauty of Yoga Nidra. You simply listen and follow the guidance. Your busy thoughts are totally normal and won't prevent the practice from working.
What if I try this and I still can’t sleep?
That's completely okay – and actually expected! Yoga Nidra isn't about forcing sleep – it's about deep rest. When you stop trying to sleep and just focus on resting, the pressure lifts and your nervous system resets. You might drift off naturally, or you might stay awake and still get profoundly restorative rest. Either way, your body is healing.
Is this a good fit for becoming a Yoga Nidra teacher, not just my personal growth?
Absolutely. Many students take this course as a stepping stone towards Yoga Nidra teacher certification. Please contact Julie at [email protected] if you are interested in Yoga Nidra teacher certification.
