As a certified DRT practitioner, you will play a vital role in meeting the growing demand for effective stress management solutions among individuals and organisations striving to elevate their quality of life. Whether working one-on-one or with corporate clients, this training prepares you to offer a practice that transforms lives..
The Problem DRT Solves
In our fast-paced, high-stress world, many people struggle with chronic stress, anxiety and poor sleep, leading to burnout and diminished wellbeing. The inability to relax or regulate emotions effectively can affect both personal and professional lives, leading to decreased productivity, strained relationships, and increased health risks.
How Deep Rest Therapy Help
DRT provides an accessible, low-barrier solution that offers both immediate and long-term benefits. When practiced regularly the techniques of DRT can:
Reduce Stress Hormones & Anxiety Levels: DRT activates the parasympathetic nervous system, helping to reduce cortisol (a stress hormone that stays elevated in people who are chronically stressed), and induce a state of deep relaxation. A 2012 study in the International Journal of Yoga found that regular yoga nidra practice significantly lowered anxiety and improved emotion regulation. (Read the study).
Improved Learning & Memory Retention: A study by Dr. Andrew Huberman at Stanford University highlighted how engaging in DRT practices after learning new material can enhance memory retention and accelerate neuroplasticity making it a perfect tool for professionals. (Read the study).
Increase Sleep Quality: Research published in Sleep Medicine Reviews shows that DRT and similar relaxation techniques improve sleep onset and quality, making it an effective remedy for those struggling with sleep disruptions. (Read the study).
