Welcome to the Empowered Wisdom School
Specializing in Yoga Nidra, Rest, Creativity and the Liminal Portals
Co-founded by & Tracee Stanley Chanti Tacoronte-Perez
Surrender yourself to the grace of Yoga Nidra and embody the teachings that allow you to powerfully and authentically transmit transformative and healing experiences that lead to the state of Yoga Nidra. Yoga Nidra is not about reading a script in a relaxed voice. It is the art of guiding yourself and another into the deepest state of consciousness where deep rest, spacious awareness and Presence is experienced.

“Together, Chanti and Tracee are guides to the intuitive wisdom and creativity that rest within our spirits. The Empowered Wisdom Yoga Nidra training experience does something that I had never witnessed before and that is place who you are directly in front of you. With the years of knowledge between them, I was able to understand that though I am complex, I am also balanced simplicity when I shed all of societies expectations, including the identity I once claimed, and listen to the truth of who I am. This training taught me beyond the basic intention of Yoga Nidra as a deep relaxation or sleep meditation, and into the practices of cultivating perfect sankalpa, conscious awareness, ritual self care, mantra and so much more. I am beyond grateful and forever empowered by this experience.” - Uma Behati

Co-Teachers Tracee Stanley & Chanti Tacoronte-Perez
Collaboration is the ability to be fluid in a creative environment with each other. We choose to collaborate for a number of reasons. It allows us to grow with each other, and critically think about what we teach and how those teachings are expressed. In a world where hierarchy and being at “the top” is paramount, we want to be an example of how teaching can also be a practice in sacred relationship— with each individual in the room, our environment and that which we are exploring: Nidra Shakti.
Tracee Stanley “I enjoy sharing the profound practices of Yoga Nidra, Meditation and Self-Inquiry informed by wisely sequenced asana, mantra and kriya practices to create a fertile environment and safe container for transformation and growth.”
Chanti Tacoronte-Perez “ I believe that creativity is one of the most essential tools in guiding students towards living a joyous and purposeful life.”
