Rest, Restore & Remember

Imagine five days of profound quiet—not the absence of life, but its fullness. Rest, Restore & Remember is a yoga nidra retreat designed for those ready to stop pushing and start receiving. Led by senior teacher John Vosler, this five-day immersion at Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY offers a rare opportunity to experience deep restoration through yoga nidra, a guided meditation practice that dissolves tension and reveals an underlying steadiness already present within you.

Held in the forested Hudson Valley landscape beginning Sunday, August 16, 2026, this retreat invites you to step out of the relentless pace of daily life and into a contemplative rhythm. Rather than pursuing transformation through effort or striving, you'll discover how to let go—literally lying down and releasing patterns that cloud clarity. Over five days, gentle movement alternates with extended periods of guided rest, creating a container where your nervous system can reset and your true nature can emerge.

This is not a yoga retreat built on pushing deeper into poses or accumulating practices. Instead, it's rooted in the profound wisdom that wholeness is not something to achieve, but something to remember. Drawing from multiple lineages including iRest and the Integrative Amrit Method, the program guides participants toward greater ease, presence, and steadiness in daily life—gifts that ripple far beyond the retreat.

What to Expect

Each day balances gentle movement with extended guided rest periods. Morning sessions may include accessible asana and pranayama (breathwork) to prepare the body for deeper relaxation. Afternoons and evenings center on yoga nidra—a systematic practice that guides you into states between waking and sleeping, where the deepest healing and integration occur. John Vosler's skillful guidance draws from proven lineages, ensuring the practice is both grounded and transformative.

The atmosphere throughout is one of spaciousness and permission. Omega Institute's quiet woodland setting supports the contemplative work. You'll leave with practical tools to shift patterns of tension and reactivity, a felt sense of your own steadiness, and a roadmap for integrating deep rest into your daily life.
