Yoga Nidrā & the Power of Intention

January 14th 2024, Denver CO

Yoga Nidrā is a practice of deep relaxation, resembling guided meditation, that takes place in the liminal space between wake and sleep. Using a series of body-awareness and brain-balancing techniques, we can transcend the conditioned and often disturbed mind and discover the underlying peace that lies beneath. As the deepest levels of the mind become accessible, we can release the very seeds of tension, anxiety, unwanted habits, and self-limiting beliefs in order to awaken suppressed potential. The fertile space revealed is a powerful platform for actualizing intention (sankalpa) allowing us to move into an inner and outer alignment with purpose.

There are at least six levels of sankalpa that we can engage with during yoga nidrā. We will explore two of them; one created by the mind, and another arising from beyond the mind.

In this workshop we’ll:
• Explore the fundamental theory of yoga nidrā
• Design a powerful sankalpa (intention) that helps us actualize a life of purpose
• Discuss the distinctions of yoga nidrā as a therapeutic technique and as a method of self-recognition
• Experience a comprehensive practice of yoga nidrā

Embody the Koshas

January 20-21st 2024, Denver CO

This will be an immersive, insightful and applicable exploration in collaboration with Derik Eselius of Denver Yoga Underground.

Stemming from the Taittiriya Upanishad, the kosha model accounts for five distinct “sheaths” to the human being, how to bring harmony to each layer, and how they relate to spiritual realization. This comprehensive workshop presents kosha theory and accompanying asana, mudra, pranayama and meditation practices to explore each layer. This workshop will add more dimension to your practice and expand your connection to physical and metaphysical yoga. We look forward to sharing the deeper principles of the koshas.

This training will include the following points of learning and discussion:
– Intro to Koshas
– Tantric worldview & practice
– Chakra sadhana
– Five elements practice
– Integrated ceremony
– Laya yoga of “disillusion”

Saturday/Sunday 9am-6pm

Yoga Nidrā Immersion

March 1-3rd 2024 – Jackson WY

Spend a weekend exploring the inner peace and transformative power of yoga nidrā. Immerse into this ancient science of deep, meditative relaxation and unlock healing at the deepest level.

We’ll explore:
– The benefits of yoga nidrā
– Examples of the 4 most well-known approaches to yoga nidrā
– Sankalpa (intention) to clarify what we truly want in life
– Svadhyaya (self-study) to identify our key limiting beliefs
– The 5 koshas that map the manifestation of our habits and potential
– The three primary states of consciousness and the transcendent realm referred to as “the fourth”

Yoga Nidrā leads one on a journey back to the deepest dimenion of the Self, unlocks access to unlimited potential, helps re-establish the harmony of doing/being, and enables one to rest as the very source of peace.

In a weekend program you will receive help in addressing your current life goals and challenges and explore tools for dismantling the many layers of inner conflict that keep you from operating in your fullest capacity. Learn how this practice of deep stillness can redefine your relationship to life, and support you in leading the most fulfilled life possible.

Friday 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Saturday 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Sunday 10:30 AM – 5:00 PM

Drop into individual sessions if you can’t fully immerse…

Friday 5-8 – Destiny & Living with Purpose
We all aspire toward something, whether peace, happiness, success or spiritual insight. To realize it is to also overcome all that stands in the way. We’ll explore how yoga nidrā practices help pave the way for attainment.

Sat 9-12 – Unshackling from the Past
We are beings of habit, routine and patterned behaviors. While most of our patterns may be supportive and helpful, others may keep us locked in an old way of looking at the world, founded on old beliefs that may not even be true. To be free is to break the cycle of habit and generate new thoughts, choices and actions, which in turn birth new beliefs about ourselves and the world.

Sat 1-4 – Yoga Nidrā: A Practice & a State
Nearly all structured systems of yoga nidrā are inspired by one of two templates, created by Swami Satyandanda Saraswati or Swami Rama. We’ll take close look at how these approaches offer powerful tools for healing, transformation and the deepest levels of Self-inquiry, known as “Yoga.” From the 5 koshas of embodiment to the comprehensive meaning of Om, we’ll understand the inner path of Yoga toward freedom and peace.

Sun 10:30-1:30 – The Power of Self-Reflection
Cultivating the power of the intellect is essential for seeing what remains hidden in our blind spots. It strengthens our intuitive capacity, sharpens our discernment and can eliminate the seeds of our triggers when they’re revealed in the light of awareness.

Sun 2:30-5 – Sankalpa: A Solemn Vow
What’s in charge of your life? Habits and reactions or a clear vision of that which inspires you forward? As asana refines the posture of the body, intention refines the posture of the mind. We’ll explore some key principles for accessing a deeper dimension of intention for living a fulfilled life, rich with spiritual understanding.

*Come prepared to practice some moderate yoga asana
*This Immersion will count toward Yoga Alliance CEU’s.

*Please note, this immersion is not intended to train attendees to be teachers of yoga nidrā, but is designed as a personal transformation weekend accessible to all.
