“In order to acquire continuity of consciousness, unaffected by lapses into unconscious states,
you must hold yourself at the junction of all the states, which constitutes the links between sleeping, dreaming, and waking: the half-sleep or Fourth State.”

Adapted from the S​panda Karikas​ of Vasagupta
10th century Tantric text (written over 1,000 years ago)

I created AOYS because I felt firsthand its impact on myself and on my partner, who is a special forces veteran managing PTSD.

For people like my partner, there exists a huge gap between the need for Yoga Nidra (which is scientifically backed by research proving its efficacy on transforming the mind and body, healing trauma, and expanding consciousness) and the lack of both understanding and access available to even expereince its many benefits.

My mission with the ACADEMY of Sleep is to be a bridge between science and spirituality.

I aim to break the mold of how this unconventional healing method might be perceived in order to get more people practicing, teaching, and healing themselves and their communities with Yoga Nidra, because it works. 

My hope is that this training will give you the personal experience you need to invigorate your self and your business and to disperse this incredible wisdom out into the world, because we need you.

Student Testimonials

  • @SAMSTUDLEY_

    This training BLEW MY MIND! The harmony of guidance to the Self. I feel inspired to trust, and take a risk! After finishing the program I realized more why you emphasized to take our time, and why the homework was laid out in the format it was. Sometimes it's hard for me to segment while I'm learning something, so having access to the other modules was super helpful to see the big picture (somehow this helps my creative process), but I definitely see the skills training with the action items assignments. I will use the breakdown in future scripts I'm sure! Thank you Cherie and Caley!! This program opened my heart back up. I appreciate you so much, it's been so incredible. All the love, all the power 🙌 ♥️

    SAM STUDLEY: SEVA THERIPIES

  • @THEHUMMINGBIRDWELLNESS

    The creative writing piece was really surprising and has opened up a whole new area of personal and professional growth and expansion. From a soul level, so many answers to life that I feel like I already intuitively knew but had not quite surfaced to my awareness. So much clarity. From an inspirational perspective, Caley is badass and an amazing mentor/role model.

    KELLY: SOUND HEALING, BREATHWORK

  • @BRANDIROSEYOGA

    Finding my voice has been a HUGE takeaway. It has given me the confidence to express myself, to create boundaries and to become an observer without feeling the need to fill the silence. I feel like I have only begun to open up and I feel like there is so much more coming. It's so mind blowing to see how many aspects of my life have been changed by this training. Caley is a fountain of knowledge and her love of the practice shows in her teachings. I am forever grateful for her guidance and the way in which she lovingly empowers everyone around her. This training has been life changing and truly transformative!

    BRANDI ROSE: YOGA INSTRUCTOR

  • @ABBYCOCKRELLYOGA

    Sleep Academy was a beautiful way to learn about Yoga Nidra. Caley was a beautiful guide, who held space for much with love, compassion and pure authenticity. She taught us the science behind Yoga Nidra, so that we could learn the "why", and provided us with an incredible foundation and skeleton for how to construct and guide our own Nidras in the future. I feel fully ready and able to facilitate Nidra after this course!

How It Works

Upon submission of your investment in AOS, you will immediately be added to our community space where you can connect with other participants and ask questions! You will also be sent an AOS participant questionnaire to be completed prior to course launch.

Calendar invitations will be shared for our bimonthly knowledge sessions. We expect you will join as many of the calls as you are able to, and watch all recorded sessions which are missed.

Before AOS begins, there will be a live group prep call to familiarize yourself with the AOS portal and how to use it. On the day AOS launches, all course content will become available to you so that you can move at your own pace. We highly recommend completing about a module a week (10 Modules, 12 weeks of Training)!
