LIVE Yoga Nidra zoom TRAINING

Awakening from Our Sleep: A Yoga Nidra Training with Tanis

I invite you to join me for my final training, where I will guide you into the heart of Yoga Nidra. Since my first encounter with this transformative practice at the Bihar Yoga Bharati Ashram in India, Yoga Nidra has illuminated my path, serving as a beacon for my spiritual evolution. My dedication to understanding its depths has been a profound journey, one I feel called to share with you one last time before I transition to new callings and other soul work.

In this intimate gathering, we will explore the foundational and profound aspects of Yoga Nidra together. Each stage of the practice will be examined from multiple perspectives, empowering you to navigate your consciousness with grace and confidence. As we awaken from the slumber of conditioned minds, you'll uncover both the practical applications of Yoga Nidra and its deeper spiritual significance.

This training is not only a chance to deepen your own practice but also to cultivate the skills to guide others on their inward journeys. As this will be my last Yoga Nidra training offered in a personal live Zoom format, I invite you to ask questions and engage deeply—I am here to share the wealth of knowledge I have gathered over the years from incredible teachers and wisdom traditions.

Participants will be encouraged to script and record a Yoga Nidra session within four weeks of completion, further embedding this sacred practice into your life.

It is with heartfelt gratitude that I offer this final opportunity to connect and grow together. I look forward to walking this part of your path with you.

~ The inward path ~
An Exploration of Yoga Nidra

A Self-Paced 7 week online Course that begins moment of purchase

Welcome to the Inward Path, a deep exploration of the framework of Yoga Nidra and a rich unpacking of the stages through direct experiencing and guided contemplation. 

If you have been guided to my recordings and guidance, I invite you to sit with me as we journey through the inward path together. 

The Inward path is the inward movement of attention through the many veils that nest the unconditioned Self (or non-self). Each veil is worthy of exploration as it reflects the range of human experience from density to subtlety and eventually to transcendental identity.

Each module is focused on a veil, also known as a Kosha, and the techniques used in the Yoga Nidra practice to experience that level of our being. I guide and explore the inner terrain with curiosity, sharing the depth and multiple lenses through which I have experienced these over the years. 

I have been highly influenced by the Bihar School of Yoga and the Satyananda Lineage as this was my origin point into Yoga Nidra; However, I am a Mystic at heart, and naturally explore many doorways, paths, lineages, and spiritual traditions that point to Oneness. Therefore, my sharing and guidance are steeped with years and possibly lifetimes of spiritual knowledge and remembering.

This is not a training, it is an exploration and deeper study of the yoga nidra practice. I believe Yoga Teachers and Guides, and sincere practitioners will find value in these teachings and perhaps inspire the next level of studentship on their path.

Some basic understanding of yoga or the meditative arts would be helpful as I communicate the teachings through this lens.

My sincere and heartfelt thank you for joining me on this journey on the Inward Path, a journey through our multidimensional construct, to arrive at the source from which experience is birthed.

The modules include:

• Module 1: Intention Setting practice. Discussion and practice on the internalization of awareness and the entry points through perception shifting to begin the inward path to Self-Realization.

• Module 2: Sankalpa. Discussion and practice on the Divine thought form that will unpack itself to manifest on every level of Creation.

• Module 3: Discussion and practice of the original teachings of the trademark practice of rotation of consciousness from the angle of its more spiritual roots of Nyasa Yoga - meaning ‘to place, to put in’ the awareness, or a mantra, or a sacred form to raise the body’s vibration and consecrate the body to the Divine.

• Module 4: Discussion and practice on using breath awareness and breath techniques as a vehicle to reach the vital body, the energy field inside and around the mortal body.

• Module 5: Discussion and practice on embracing the realm of duality in order to transcend the suffering of a separated mind.

• Module 6: Discussion and practice on utilizing the mind power for creativity and unlocking the dormant energies of creation; as well as, purging the deeper mind of the storehouse of associated images that distort one’s ability to abide in clarity.

• Module 7: Discussion and practice of the final destination of the Inward Path ~ Pure Unconditioned Awareness. The arrival of the Inward Path is the completion of the yoga nidra practice; However, it sets one on the outward path and the re-engagement into the external world equipped with true Self-Knowledge of one’s pure beingness expressing itself through the multidimensional construct of the mind and body.

• Each module includes a discussion followed by a full length practice.

The exploration is self paced and a module is released each week. 

Many Blessings on your Inward Path.

“Wow Tanis, The Inward Path. Wow.

Thank you for making this available online - I am deeply appreciative.

I have moved through the seven weeks’ of teachings and I intend on revisiting each lecture again. 

Countless a-ha moments have made their way into my sphere and there are many moments that still have me puzzled in the most beautiful ways.

The teachings you share are truly phenomenal. To sit with someone of your calibre, commitment and integrity is something else”.

~ A Path to Sankalpa ~
Discover Your Truth

Online course coming soon.

The Sankalpa teachings are very near and dear to me. I believe much of my path while I walk this earth is to understand the depth and terrain of this word through the mystic's way of direct experience.

In this 6 week series I will provide a loving container and supportive guidance to explore 'aligning to one's truth.'

I have found that the actual roadmap towards the recognition of inner truth lies in the dissolution of the identities that are cloaking our unconditioned presence. These subconscious selves get constellated through unprocessed life experiences and become fixed point of views in which we see ourselves, others, and the world through. 

Together we will learn how to meet these cloaks, make the unconscious conscious, and liberate our awareness to align with what is of higher service on both an individual and collective level.

Once your divine seed (Sankalpa) is revealed, you can then plant it into your deeper psychology during Yoga Nidra practice and any other moments when the mind and body are most receptive to stabilize this truth as a state of consciousness. 

Using the framework, language, and many components of the Yoga Nidra practice we will learn how to first de-constellate limited perception that is separating you and creating suffering, and upon touching directly the deeper truth within, you then structure that knowing from the subtlest level of choice into its full embodied expression.

Each week we will explore different layers of the process to prepare for the meditations where we put it all together.

Explorations include:

• Dissolving the sense of ‘I-ness’ / no point of view

• Inhabiting the body and the breath

• Growing the capacity to feel opposite sensations and feelings without judgement

• Using Chidakasha as an inner altar

• Bridging the conscious and unconscious mind

• Shadow work /inner child exploration / soul retrieval

• Patterning the truth through the multi-layers of experience
