This practice has been amazing for  me. My spring was set to be incredibly busy so I almost waited. I felt an internal push to take the training, and I am ever happy I did! It's truly the best thing I've done for myself in a long time. I knew I would enjoy it. I had no idea about the connections that would be made. You are all amazing humans and I am privileged to be  sharing this journey with you!!!" - EcoNIDRA Teacher Training participant

Even in the moments when the whispers of my competitive nature or insecurity tugged efforted to derail me, the dragonflies and the "voice that connects" slowed my breath and reminded me of my spacious being and the real of timing. Everything you need to learn about EcoNidra -- what it is, how it works, how you can make it yours, how to develop your voice and how to market -- are included clearly and enjoyably in this training. Truly, Kat Novotna is inviting a world of kindness and rested bodies to rise and be the new normal." - EcoNIDRA Teacher Training participant
