Experience the state between being awake and asleep, where the true magic happens.
iRest yoga nidra is a form of guided meditation with less mind wandering. Lay quietly and allow yourself to rest while listening to the instructor’s words. You may fall into a restful sleep, or remain entirely aware in a deeply relaxed state where your mind can receive the benefits of the meditation. iRest can be utilized to assist in healing anything from insomnia to trauma or just be used as a heavenly relaxation tool. It facilitates the discovery of awareness in the body by exploring, welcoming and observing all sensations, thoughts and emotions that occur.
iRest is a secular, world embracing view on traditional yoga nidra which is easy to follow and accessible to anyone open to finding a deeper connection to health, healing and peace of mind. This practice allows you to feel a bit softer and lighter in your day, to soften the sharp edges of the daily grind. You will learn tools to take out into daily life to help during times of anxiety and stress, so the feelings of deep peace can travel with you even after finishing the workshop. This includes developing an “inner resource” to help foster a safe haven to call on during difficult times.
The two hour workshop will allow time for instruction and developing tools to use during the meditation and take out into the world afterwards, two deep meditations lasting 35-40 minutes each, and time to process each meditation with the group.
After over ten years of research, iRest is endorsed by the US Army Surgeon General because it has been shown to improve quality of life and functionality of combat veterans suffering from PTSD, brain injuries, and other traumas. iRest is an evidence-based, mind-body approach that is the result of thirty years of observation, research and hands-on development by Dr. Richard Miller and associates.
