MARCH 13, 14 & 15 2026
9:30am to 6pm daily
Join Yogarupa Rod Stryker for this illuminating and important event, a time to experience and embody the great wisdom of the ages and to grow your light as practitioner and teacher.
This three-day immersion is designed for all dedicated seekers (some yoga experience is recommended), seasoned yoga practitioners as well as aspiring or experienced yoga teachers. Each day will weave lecture and practice; asana, pranayama and meditation.
As a participant, you will leave with treasured experiences and invaluable insights, along with sacred and practical tools that will forever change how you see yourself and your life.
The pancha kosha model—the five sheaths—is one of yoga’s most essential frameworks for skillful practice and teaching. Yet despite the widespread familiarity with the theory of the five layers of being—physical, energetic, mental, intuitive, and causal—few experienced practitioners or teachers truly understand how specific yogic techniques, beginning with āsana, can be applied to consciously refine and elevate each sheath.
Throughout this three-day immersion, Rod—one of the West’s leading teachers of Tantra, Yoga, and Meditation—guides you through the koshas not as abstract concepts, but as living gateways to greater freedom, joy, and self-awareness.
For those seeking to bring more insight, effectiveness, and integrity to their yoga, this training provides a vital framework as well as the tools to do it.
The emphasis of our days is not theory for its own sake, but direct experience—so you can practice and teach with greater intention, precision, and depth. By the end of the immersion, you’ll have a working understanding of how to extend the power of practice, along with clear methods for enriching the physical, energetic, mental-emotional, intuitive, and causal dimensions of yoga.
You’ll experience how the kosha model—and its corresponding practices—allow you to:
-
Understand the multidimensional potential of yoga practice
-
Adapt your personal practice as your life, intentions, and circumstances evolve
-
Create balanced, effective, and purposeful sequences
-
Support students in meeting their true needs (not just their wants), moving beyond superficial effects toward lasting, meaningful impact in practice and in life
By the end, you will have a clear method for working with the physical, energetic, mental-emotional, intuitive, and causal dimensions of yoga—skills that elevate your teaching and enrich your practice.
