John Vosler

John Vosler is a meditation teacher, Yoga Nidra guide and retreat leader who creates transformational environments where people remember who they are. For more than twenty-five years he has guided thousands of people into experiences of profound rest, renewed clarity and deep self-discovery. His work is devoted to helping people awaken to the unchanging awareness that is present beneath life's changing circumstances.

John grew up as the youngest son of an Iowa funeral home director, and he describes living above the funeral home as giving him early insight into energy and the sense that our essence lives on. His path began with the body: he trained in massage, Pilates, craniosacral therapy and other healing modalities, and came to see the body as an entry point to consciousness. In 2002 he met Yogi Amrit Desai and his daughter, Yogeshwari Kamini Desai, who introduced him to Yoga Nidra, and he shifted his work toward stillness and guiding others to their natural state of being. He holds a degree in Human Development.

His teaching weaves together contemplative wisdom, modern neuroscience, Yoga Nidra, meditation, somatic awareness, conscious movement, holistic bodywork and self-inquiry. Rather than offering techniques to fix or improve ourselves, he invites a direct experience of the wholeness that has always been here. Participants often say they left feeling more like themselves than they had in years.

John is a Senior Teacher at the Amrit Yoga Institute, where he leads I AM Yoga Nidra™ Certification Programs and has helped train hundreds of Yoga Nidra teachers worldwide. He is also a certified iRest® teacher through the Integrative Restoration Institute and a former board member of the iRest Institute. He has led retreats at Esalen and Omega, guided journeys through India, Bali, Sri Lanka, Costa Rica and Japan, and taught at universities and leadership organizations. He also works privately with clients, and has a Los Angeles-based wellness practice. He leads a weekly online Monday Meditation and offers the GetMeditated™ library of guided practices.
