Join Rod Stryker for a rare retreat intended to make the unimaginable heights of yoga more imaginable. This unique gathering brings one of the West’s leading teachers of Tantra Yoga, meditation, and Yoga Nidra offering participants a powerful opportunity to deepen and expand how they understand and approach practice.

This immersive weekend draws from the classical teachings of Haṭha Tantra Yoga and the contemplative traditions (as well as internal and external practices) of Tibetan Buddhism to reveal yoga as a complete path of embodied wisdom. We will collectively explore masterful practices consisting of āsana, prāṇāyāma, bandha, mudrā, and meditation will be explored alongside the reflective and contemplative dimensions emphasized in the great Tantra Yoga texts.

Each morning begins with prāṇāyāma and meditation. After breakfast, Rod guides sessions weaving together dynamic and subtle yoga-āsana, breathwork, energetic practices, and meditation with particular emphasis on the contemplative modalities embedded in the Haṭha tradition, including forgiveness, compassion, charity, and discernment. These practices are designed to stabilize the body, refine perception, and deepen the flow of prāṇa so that practice becomes a pathway to inner freedom and clear perception.

A special element of the retreat will include pujās offered in honor of H.H. the Dalai Lama’s birthday during the retreat period—ceremonies invoking wisdom, compassion, and the flourishing of the contemplative traditions in our world.
