Enroll today!

Yoga nidra is less about deep rest and more about entering the state beyond waking, dreaming and deep sleep.

On its surface, yoga nidra is a systematic approach to access the deepest rest––making it an unsurpassed gateway into physical and mental healing and renewal. However, deep rest is only the beginning of this ancient practice.

Created and led by Rod Stryker, one of the world‘s preeminent experts in the practice of yoga nidra, this course is a theoretical and experiential immersion in which we draw from its traditional roots, modern science, Vedic scripture and the latest research––all of which can lead to your mastery of this sublime practice. 

To transmit the full breadth of yoga nidra, you must not only understand the practice but be intimate with the state. 

Our curriculum guides you through the essential principles of yoga nidra and then turns its focus on its deeper states and how to enter them.

Become versed in our tradition-based approach to the practice–– emphasizing five distinct aims and templates.

Throughout the course you will increasingly experience the actual state of yoga nidra. You will also learn the foundations to authentically transmit it. Your study will include:

  • Preparation for yoga nidra
  • Healing and yoga nidra
  • Keys for transformation
  • The role of self-inquiry
  • The science of Sanklpa––the power of resolve
  • Yoga nidra as a spiritual practice

My Approach...

I led my first teacher training in 2002. Within a decade the widespread popularity of yoga would arrive. Before long, countless varieties of “Yoga Teacher Trainings” would proliferate. In my eyes, many of yoga's most profound elements were being lost: its philosophical framework, meditative and contemplative roots, essentially, yoga as a holistic and comprehensive approach to total wellbeing. 

Witnessing its many "modern" adaptations, I became even more committed to sharing what I had learned and what had touched me so deeply about the practice. I dedicated myself to share and train those who wished to understand––and potentially teach––yoga in a tradition-based approach that, at the same time, was accessible, powerful and most relevant. To those ends, it was essential to train teachers who prioritized being exceptional practitioners first, in other words, to ensure that they embodied what they aspired to teach.

I was privileged to meet and train many extraordinary individuals who, I would watch grow into extraordinary teachers. They collectively helped me understand that teaching was indeed, alchemy.

Every authoritative teacher is necessarily unique. Each is an amalgam, a dynamic blend of distinct life experiences, personal practice, deep study of time-tested knowledge and methodology, all in the melting pot of sustained personal growth. All of it is the necessary alchemy––of what distinctly confers authority onto a teacher.

This is the ethos at the heart of Tantra Yoga Alchemy's courses and trainings.

Kind Words

“Transformational...”

“Enlightened Sleep is deeply transformational.  When the constrictions of breath and body and the stains of the mind dissolve, we can see clearly. When the source of suffering is revealed by our Soul and higher mind, we can plant the seeds of new ideas in the fertile field of consciousness."

Cata

“Gave Me Hope…”

“Yoga Nidra gave me hope. When I began my deeper study of Yoga Nidra I was entangled in a mentally and emotionally difficult time in my life. Initially Nidra helped me relax and calm my anxiety. Then, as I began to study it further I had an
experience where I innately knew that I was connected to the cosmos.”

Leah

“A Process...”

“While I had studied the practices of Yoga Nidra in the past, they always seemed to be just a useful tool of relaxing the body and mind sometimes even an excuse to take what I thought of as a holier version of a nap. Only now [did I begin] to realize it as more of a process of shaking up our stubborn certainty of our separateness."
