Chitra Sukhu
When was the last time you felt truly, deeply at rest — not just relaxed, but completely at ease within yourself?
Through Yoga Nidra, you’ll learn practices that train your nervous system to consciously enter the state of awakened sleep and discover who you are beyond your mind — recognizing that life is living through you, the ego is a useful tool, and existence itself is joyful.
Does it feel like no matter how much you meditate, journal, or work on yourself — true peace still feels elusive?
Or find yourself constantly searching for the next practice, the next breakthrough, the next level of awakening — only to end up more exhausted than when you started?
According to mystic Chitra Sukhu, creator of the Yoga Nidra | Awak{end} Sleep System, most of us spend our time trying to become more conscious, more aware, more awakened, says Chitra, never discovering that the very awareness we’re seeking has been present all along.
In this transformative 7-module, 9-week journey, you’ll move consciously through the seven layers of your being, learning to remain aware as states change.
Chitra Sukhu’s Yoga Nidra | Awak{end} Sleep™ method differs from most modern practices in a fundamental way. It is not approached primarily as a relaxation technique, stress-management tool, or subconscious reprogramming method, but as a direct spiritual practice, or sādhanā, for consciously entering into the causal state. ..
In this state, the deep subconscious patterns (samskāras) begin to dissolve, Buddhi awakens, desire reveals its true source, and one begins to rest knowingly in their true nature.
Yoga Nidra, often translated as "yogic sleep," is an ancient practice that induces a state of consciousness between wakefulness and sleep. The techniques allow you to intentionally enter that depth, remaining present as the body and mind sleep. Even in deep sleep, awareness itself does not disappear — but most of us pass through this state unconsciously.
Each week combines clear knowledge, Yoga Nidra sessions, and Q&A, guiding you beyond technique into lived realization — where you discover that life is living through you, ego becomes a tool rather than master, and everything you perceive reveals itself as a play of energy moving together.
During this 7-module live video course, you’ll:
- Use Samkhya as a map of manifestation and move consciously through the five koshas — distinguishing awareness from what it observes for greater clarity and inner steadiness
- Craft a precise Sankalpa and plant intention at the causal field — so desire becomes less reactive and more aligned with who you’re truly choosing to be
- Stay aware at the threshold of sleep through seven states of consciousness — developing lucidity in waking, dreaming, and deep sleep
- Descend consciously into theta and delta brainwave states — allowing your nervous system to reset and move into natural coherence
- Understand how samskaras move through the koshas and practice causal-level purification — building a personalized daily sadhana that leaves you clearer, lighter, and more aligned with your inner divinity
- Practice chakra-based Yoga Nidra sequencing as energy moves inward and upward — earth into water, water into fire, fire into air, air into ether
- Experience awakening as recognition, not attainment — resting as awareness itself beyond thought and identity
- And much more…

Course Sessions 2026-04-27 11:00:00 am.
This course will feature LIVE teachings, interactive sessions, experiential practices, and Q&A with Chitra. Each session will build harmoniously upon the previous ones, so you’ll develop a complete holistic understanding of the practices, tools, and principles you’ll need to explore Yoga Nidra as a direct path to awakening — helping you remain consciously aware across waking, dreaming, and deep sleep states.
Module 1: Get Clear About Who You Truly Are With Samkhya, the Koshas & Yoga Nidra (2026-04-27 11:00:00 am)
As you begin your transformational journey with Chitra, you’ll explore Samkhya as the blueprint of the Universe and your place within it.
You’ll learn how consciousness appears as body, mind, and identity through the five koshas. Using guided Yoga Nidra and inquiry, you’ll begin distinguishing awareness from what it observes.
This creates clarity about who you truly are and why confusion arises. By the end, you’ll feel more grounded, spacious, and oriented within the larger whole.
In this opening module, you’ll:
- Explore Samkhya as the structural map of manifestation and individuality
- Practice moving consciously through the five koshas in Yoga Nidra
- Learn how identification forms work and how to loosen them through discrimination
- Experience awareness, observing body and mind without merging
- Develop a clearer sense of purpose and inner steadiness
Module 2: Discern What Drives You at the Deepest Levels as You Set a Sankalpa (2026-05-04 11:00:00 am)
With Chitra’s guidance, you’ll explore Sankalpa as the deep driving desire shaping your perception, action, and destiny. More profound than a mere goal, a Sankalpa is when you say, this is who I’m choosing to live as.
You’ll examine how unconscious intention silently governs your life and why clarity at this level matters. Through threshold-based Yoga Nidra practice, you’ll learn how to plant intention at the subconscious and unconscious layers. By the end, desire will feel less reactive and more aligned.
In this module, you’ll:
- Discover how desire shapes your lived reality
- Practice crafting a clear, precise Sankalpa
- Explore a guided practice to plant intention in the causal field
- Experience desire as you soften and refine deep rest
Module 3: Journey Through the 7 States of Consciousness to Become More Present & Being Manifestation Into the Material World (2026-05-11 11:00:00 am)
You’ll examine waking, dreaming, deep sleep, transitional states, and the fourth state of consciousness. You’ll explore how identity shifts across these states and why most people remain unconscious in deep sleep.
Through guided Yoga Nidra — led by Chitra with gentle compassion — you’ll learn how to remain aware as states change. By the end, awareness will feel continuous rather than fragmented.
In this module, you’ll:
- Explore the Mandukya-based map of consciousness
- Practice remaining aware at the threshold of sleep
- Learn how waking and dream identities mirror each other
- Experience how awareness persists beyond mental activity
- Develop lucidity as you move through each state of consciousness
Module 4: Understand Brainwave States and the Effects of Yoga Nidra to Reset Your System From Within (2026-05-18 11:00:00 am)
Chitra will explain how brainwave states correspond to levels of awareness.
You’ll explore gamma, beta, alpha, theta, and delta patterns and how they reflect your inner condition.
Through longer guided Yoga Nidra, you’ll experience your nervous system naturally moving into coherence. By the end, rest will feel deeper, and your system will begin resetting itself from within.
In this module, you’ll:
- Learn how brainwave states correlate with consciousness
- Practice descending consciously into theta and delta states, switching from one brainwave state to another
- Experience nervous system regulation without force
- Explore the relationship between awareness and physiology
- Develop a felt sense of restoration and internal balance
Module 5: Purify the Koshas for More Neutrality, Discipline & Inner Steadiness (2026-06-01 11:00:00 am)
You’ll learn how the koshas are purified through the path of Raja Yoga and conscious daily discipline. Chitra will show you how samskaras move from the causal to subtle and physical layers, shaping perception and behavior.
Through Yoga Nidra and the eight limbs of yoga, you’ll begin dissolving these veils. You’ll also create a sustainable daily sadhana. By the end, you’ll feel clearer, lighter, and more aligned with your inner divinity.
In this module, you’ll:
- Explore how samskaras move through the koshas and shape experience
- Practice Yoga Nidra for causal-level purification and integration
- Learn how the eight limbs of Raja Yoga refine body, mind, and behavior
- Create a personalized daily sadhana to purify the veils covering your true nature — if sankalpa is your intention, sadhana is how you live it
Module 6: Engage in Subtle Perception to Purify Your Chakras for Energetic Clarity, Stability & Inner Alignment (2026-06-08 11:00:00 am)
As you explore the chakras as centers of perception and identity linked to the elements and gunas, you’ll learn how energy naturally moves outward and downward…
… and how purification allows it to reverse direction and ascend through the inner channel.
Through chakra-based Yoga Nidra, Chitra will demonstrate the elemental process of earth dissolving into water, water into fire, fire into air, and air into ether. By the end, energy feels refined, coherent, and intelligently aligned.
In this module, you’ll:
- Explore chakras as stages of perception, identity, and elemental expression
- Learn how to dissolve the elements and awaken to your true nature
- Practice chakra-based Yoga Nidra sequencing to purify and refine your energy centers
- Understand how subtle energy shifts from downward/outward flow to inward/upward ascent
Module 7: Awaken Through Yoga Nidra to Expand Your State of Awakening So You Can Choose How You Want to Experience Life (2026-06-22 11:00:00 am)
What if enlightenment could be your ordinary state? As this journey with Chitra comes to a close, you’ll explore awakening as recognition rather than attainment.
You’ll examine how identity dissolves when awareness remains through all states. Through sustained conscious rest, you’ll experience Yoga Nidra as abidance in your true nature. By the end, clarity will feel less like effort and more like your natural state.
In this final module, you’ll:
- Explore awakening as recognition, not achievement
- Practice conscious rest beyond thought and identity
- Learn how awareness remains unchanged through all states
- Experience deep inner ease and reduction of inner conflict
- Develop confidence in resting as awareness itself

About Chitra Sukhu
EDITChitra Sukhu is a second-generation yogini, spiritual teacher, and founder of Yoga Nidra | Awak{end} Sleep™. Raised in a traditional ashram environment under the guidance of her parents, Yogi Hari and Leela Mata, Chitra has been immersed in meditation, Vedanta, Tantra, and Yoga since early childhood.
With over two decades of teaching experience, she offers a rare integration of classical wisdom and direct realization. Her work bridges Samkhya philosophy, the Mandukya Upanishad, and the subtle science of consciousness with accessible, embodied practice.
At the heart of her teachings is Yoga Nidra — not as a relaxation technique, but as a profound method for conscious entry into deep sleep awareness, where samskaras dissolve and higher intelligence awakens.
Chitra leads international retreats, teacher trainings, and immersive programs around the world, guiding students into deeper states of clarity, presence, and self-recognition. Her approach honors desire as a sacred creative force while illuminating the path of awakening through direct experience rather than belief.
Through her teachings, Chitra invites seekers into a lived understanding of truth — where rest becomes revelation, awareness becomes freedom, and life itself is recognized as the field of awakening.
