iRest – Integrative Restoration Meditation
Yoga Nidra is an ancient meditation practice that supports deep relaxation and a greater sense of balance and wellbeing. Gentle and accessible, it invites the body to rest deeply while cultivating awareness of sensations, emotions and thoughts.
iRest® adapts the practice of Yoga Nidra for modern life through a structured, body-based approach for meditation and deep rest. Offered as individual sessions or a four-week course, the practice is easy to learn and can be adapted to different needs and life circumstances.
