with Rod Stryker

Learn the stress-relieving practice of Yoga Nidra from yoga master Rod Stryker. Yoga Nidra is a systematic method used to prepare both mind and body for deep rejuvenation and heightened awareness. Regular practice of Yoga Nidra fosters deep relaxation and can be an effective process for self-healing and shaping your destiny. All you do is listen as you are guided through an array of powerful techniques (physical relaxation, breath awareness, visualization), culminating in deeper states of insight and relaxation.

Rod Stryker is widely considered to be one of the pre-eminent yoga and meditation teachers in the United States. He is the founder of ParaYoga and has taught Tantra, meditation and Hatha Yoga for more than 25 years. He is one of the few Western teachers capable of articulating an authentic experience––one that has been practiced and handed down from teacher to student for literally thousands of years.
