Yoga Nidra

A yoga nidra is like a “yogic sleep”. It is a very deeply relaxed state of awareness. In this state, we are able to fully connect with the essence of our being. A yoga nidra can be deeply relaxing and very healing.
 
iRest

iRest is the acronym for Integrative Restoration, an approach to yoga nidra developed by Richard Miller, PhD. iRest is an easy-to-use tool for anyone seeking to reduce physical, emotional or mental stress. The practice of iRest induces relaxation through the body and mind by activating the parasympathetic nervous system, incorporating time-tested and well-researched psycho-physiological approaches that include sensory, cognitive, and emotional therapies.
 
Its use dramatically reduces stress, helps overcome insomnia, resolve trauma, and neutralize and overcome anxiety, fear, anger and depression.
iRest gently guides you through body and breath awareness and an exploration of emotions, cognitions and joy. It is a non-dogmatic, secular practice where you learn to guide yourself through meditative sequences. Once learned, iRest is a practice that you can easily integrate into your daily routines. As inner tensions decrease, self-confidence and well-being increase, which remains with you as you go about your daily life.
