Having trained with Rod in person I can honestly say you get the same fantastic content as you do live. The breadth and depth of the offerings on the App ensures something relevant for everyone. I have been a subscriber For around 6 years and over this time my needs and uses have changed for it but it is one of the few Apps I have paid for continuously throughout the years as it is updated and nurtured. ### 5/5 — Absolutely love this life saving app *2024-09-20, version 4.38.1* Suffering from long covid and the combination of the yoga nidras and the courses available has been so gratefully received. Thank you for putting so much care and expertise and dare I say love into this classy app. ### 5/5 — My go to *2024-09-12, version 4.38.1* Since being diagnosed with leukaemia five years ago, I have used this app throughout my treatment, and often now forget to tap in for a boost! Today I did. I have a follow up this afternoon and I feel so calm and thankful . Wonderful content , wonderful voice ….. love it . ### 5/5 — Meditation, Wisdom, & Asana in Your Pocket *2024-09-03, version 4.38.1* Rod Stryker has created an app that puts all of the important aspects of yoga at your fingertips. For the yogi that is serious about enlightenment and quieting the mind, look no further than this app and your third eye. ### 5/5 — Rod Stryker Sanctuary *2024-09-03, version 4.38.1* I love Sanctuary! This is an app that provides incredible ‘content’ - guided meditations, yoga nidra meditation instruction, and courses - and in which the teacher (Rod Stryker) actively participates with talks and new material. He is thoughtful in what is on here, offers excellent guidance, and his support staff respond quickly. in other words, this is not simply well made content, it’s a little world - a sanctuary - that helps you open to a bigger one. ### 5/5 — Annabel *2024-09-02, version 4.38.1* A resource for all practitioners and especially teachers, as we need to receive as well as give, this allows me to access Yoga Nidra and Meditations wherever i am in the world, i value this greatly 🕉️ ### 5/5 — Sanctuary *2024-09-01* An invaluable resource! This app is the one I use most to find calm, ease into sleep, release tension and deepen my practice. The meditations vary in length. Rod Stryker’s soothing voice and body of knowledge encourage me when I feel off-kilter. ### 5/5 — One stop app for wellness *2024-08-31, version 4.38.1* The sanctuary app with Rod Stryker is easy to use with it’s different sections and their headings. Whether your a student of yoga or just wanting to begin a practice of wellness through either meditation, yoga Nidra, pranayama or asana there is so much content to explore and he continues to add practices, he even does lives to explain how to practice and they are really special. ### 5/5 — A Treasure *2024-08-31, version 4.38.1* I’ve worked with the meditations and practices on this app for some time, and they are so valuable to me - I’m so grateful that Rod Stryker’s teachings and meditations are available to all for such an accessible price. What a gift. The Yoga Nidra practices and Emlightened Sleep meditations have become trusted companions for healing and guidance in these difficult times. No matter your level of experience with yoga and meditation, you’ll discover many layers of understanding and knowledge and awareness with Sanctuary. Highly, highly recommended. ❤️ ### 5/5 — Rod Stryker and the Sanctuary app are peerless *2024-08-31, version 4.38.1* In my view (informed by many years as a yoga practitioner), no one can compare to Rod Stryker. He is extremely knowledgeable and experienced, insightful, articulate, dedicated, and a truly gifted teacher, all while staying down-to-earth. Whether you are curious about meditiation but are not sure how to go about it, or have a dedicated meditation practice, Sanctuary will meet your needs. And it's not just about meditation. If you don't sleep well or need help relaxing, try the Yoga Nidra offerings. I am now hooked on the "Rod Pod" talks about the practice of yoga and life (more please!). There is a lot here - peel back the onion layers (or lotus blossom petals...) in the way that works best for you. Rod Stryker will guide you like no one else can. ### 5/5 — An incredible app I use every day *2024-02-22, version 4.29.1* Rods teachings are timeless and easy to access. There is a really good mix of pranayama, Asana, meditation, as well as yoga Nidra, and I use the Nidra sleep practises every night at bedtime.. ### 5/5 — A Yoga Master Shares *2023-06-12, version 3.64.7* Rod Stryker is a yoga master and a master teacher. He is also especially gifted at meditation. Sanctuary has both. I heard of Sanctuary from my yoga teacher here in Arkansas. She has studied with Stryker. I turn to Stryker's Sanctuary almost daily.

This has been incredibly healing from the very first session and given an inner peace and calming of the mind and body that I’m incredibly grateful for. ### 5/5 — Wonderful meditations and yoga nidra practices *2024-11-24, version 4.47.1* I have tried other yoga meditation and yoga nidra apps and this one is the best. The meditation and yoga nidra practices range from ones for beginners to more advanced practices. It also has one of different duration as I may have less time some days than others. The yoga nidra are deeply restful and organized in sections for peace, healing, empower and spirit as well as a specific section of practices for sleep. I highly recommend this app ### 5/5 — A must have *2024-09-26, version 4.38.1* This app can and will transform your day to day life in so many ways. It is one of the most comprehensive meditation apps that you can find but beyond that it is a guide, offers true teachings not just verbiage and can help you to find balance in your life that is challenging to find elsewhere. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
