Taught in a modern, pragmatic style, this course guides you through a progressive series of practices that work with breath, visualization, and the always-available field of open awareness. Whether you’re new to these methods or a seasoned practitioner, you’ll learn to integrate them into daily life in ways that support greater presence, authenticity, and compassion across your relationships, work, and sense of purpose.

At the heart of deity yoga is a radical gesture: generating a luminous form in place of the familiar self. This isn’t self-improvement. It’s ritual displacement. The body and mind are trained to recognize form as empty and emptiness as radiant. In Mahayoga, appearances and emptiness are recognized as the seamless and dynamic expression of open mind. It's there, but it's not there.

This course is for those who have tasted awakening, or at least glimpsed the view, but still feel subtly exiled inside the body. You may know yourself as open, luminous awareness, yet feel bound by a localized sense of self. Meditation may offer perspective, but your mind and body continue to echo old scripts. Deity yoga targets this felt discrepancy. These aren’t visualizations for escape. They are precision rituals for dissolving the illusion of fixity.
