For this episode, I sat down with Yogarupa Rod Stryker. Rod is a world-renowned yoga and meditation teacher, guiding and sharing his wisdom for 40 years. He is the founder of ParaYoga®, and the author of The Four Desires: Creating a Life of Purpose, Happiness, Prosperity, and Freedom. He is the creator of one of the most comprehensive online yoga trainings in the world and most recently, the app Sanctuary, a premier destination for all levels of those wanting to experience the life-changing practices of meditation and yoga nidra, Rod has dedicated his life to improving lives through his lectures, writing, practice, teaching, leadership, service and family life.MY 5 BIGGEST TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:1- Hierarchy in teaching doesn't have to be informed my patriarchy or dominance. The role of a teacher is to lead by definition, but to eventually make themselves obsolete, by empowering their students so they can walk away and stand in their own wisdom and capacities.2- Ultimately what determines the quality of your life is the quality of your perception of life and the depth of your own self-awareness. Yoga is about the mind more than it is about the body. The end goal is the refinement of the quality of your perception, so yoga asana is a meditation tool.3- Yoga Nidra is the conversion of sleep and meditation. Your body is fundamentally asleep and your mind gets into a delta pattern; it's most quiet, most relaxed, deep state of relaxation, but there is still a thread of being conscious. It recalibrates us our perception of ourselves by being both a practice and a state of consciousness.4- To live a happier, more purposeful life, you have to start by getting still. Then, you get clarity on how to live in alignment with your purpose. It doesn't matter what you're doing in life, but you won't find happiness until you live a purposeful life. You will feel lost for not having done what you were here to do, not being who you were meant to be, and creation will suffer from you not playing your role in it. "An undisciplined mind is unfit for any path". 5- Understanding your life purpose helps you deal with the small things in life, not only the big challenges. When you learn how to responds better to those small things, your destiny changes. You take the driver seat in shaping your destiny by making those everyday small right decisions. Peace is never guaranteed but we are each responsible for finding our own peace and best form of self-care is to overcome our nature.QUESTIONS HE ANSWERED DURING THIS EPISODE:How do you describe ParaYoga?You recently launched a new meditation app called Sanctuary, why did you choose to chOne of the things you teach is Yoga Nidra, for listeners that have never done Yoga Nidra before, can you explain what it is?How do to start moving towards a happier and more fulfilled life?

Tables are turned this week with Nick finding some questions for Jess to answer. They explore where Jess is at currently, how your past doesn't define you but contributes to who you become, looking forward into the future and a key takeaway that Jess has latched onto recently.

Yoga nidra has become a popular and effective relaxation tool common in many yoga studios. But it is not always practiced with an understanding of its original purpose. Yogarupa Rod Stryker has taught yoga nidra for 40 years and has a book coming out called Enlightened Sleep. I’m very excited to bring him onto the podcast, where we dive deep into yoga nidra. The post 089: Yoga Nidra with Rod Stryker appeared first on John Douillard's LifeSpa | Ayurveda + Natural Health.

Spending hours with him reminds me that we are humans interacting with each other, and it is up to each individual to be the light we choose to spread throughout the world through our interactions.   In this episode of Radically Loved, Rod and I talk about how technology is affecting our brain chemistry and why we find ourselves so addicted to Netflix and our cellphones. We discuss yoga nidra and how it is the most powerful form of sleep and meditation available. Lastly, Rod explains how to identify unhappiness and where to begin in shifting into a space of happiness and fulfillment.   Radically Vibrant Rod   Using Yoga Nidra to find peace and relaxation in place of meditation Becoming aware of the amount of endorphins we are stimulating in our brains through social media and understanding the consequences of our relationships because of it Identifying our unhappiness, analyzing our patterns and finding the solution through asking, how much joy is in my life?   Radically Inspired Clarity   Yoga Nidra is more efficient than sleep, giving you the equivalent of two hours of sleep in twenty minutes of a practice Our nervous systems are the same as they were thousands of years ago, yet we aren’t feeding them as we used to due to technology and that’s what has led the western world to increased stress levels Learning to love yourself and seeking out who you really are by finding the part of your soul that doesn’t change is a fundamental part of lifelong development   Rod Stryker Answers…   What are the healing benefits of Yoga Nidra and how is it utilized for people with past trauma?

What is your hope for the younger generations?     Radically Loved Quotes   “We become so disconnected and as a result of that disconnection our nervous system is upside down. Most of us are always in the sympathetic rhythm which means, fight or flight.”   “Forget what I learned through yoga, because I don’t just want to insert that. Something’s not working and, is there stuff that the yoga tradition can tell us that can help us find solutions?”   “People who look for the benefits of meditation but find meditation difficult, will find the same thing they are trying to access through Yoga Nidra.”   “If you are able to relax, it is a privilege.”   More About Our Guest   Rod Stryker is a yoga and meditation teacher.

Tracee Stanley has been studying Yoga and Tantra since 1995. A former high level executive in the film industry for over 18 years, she began sharing her understanding of the ancient technology of Tantra when her teacher Yogarupa Rod Stryker initiated her into the lineage of Sri Vidya in 2001. She found that these practices created a foundation of balance and clarity in the fast paced world of Hollywood and was inspired to open yoga studios to share the teachings. She co-owned and operated the Divine Motion Yoga studios until 2010 while continuing to produce and oversee feature films. It was during this time that her passion for teaching grew and she endeavored to find a way to marry her love of film with yoga. The focus of Tracee's teaching is empowerment, sankalpa, self-mastery and healing. As a Level 1 Certified Para Yoga Teacher she utilizes the unique practices of the tradition to guide students towards the door of awakening to their true nature, creating positive momentum and accelerating the trajectory towards fulfilling their destiny for an empowered life. She has developed the programs Yoga for a Broken HeartTM and Yoga for Willpower and IntentionTM and currently trains teachers in these systems.
