About the teacher

Richard Miller

Richard Miller has spent over fifty years integrating Western psychology and neuroscience with the nondual wisdom traditions of Yoga, Tantra, Advaita, Taoism and Buddhism. He holds credentials as a Certified Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT) and clinical psychologist, founded the iRest Institute, co-founded the International Association of Yoga Therapists, and developed a structured 10-step iRest protocol that has been studied and adopted by the US Army and Defense Department for conditions including PTSD.

Miller now serves mainly as a consultant to the iRest Institute while continuing to lead trainings and retreats; his 2026 in-person retreat schedule includes a six-day retreat in Edmonton, Canada, alongside online teacher trainings and guided meditation offerings through the iRest shop.

“It is my sole practice. I think of yoga nidra as 24/7, 365 days a year.”
