Rest deeply. Restore balance.
Yoga Nidra is a guided meditation practice drawing on ancient contemplative traditions. It invites the body to rest while bringing gentle awareness to sensations, emotions and thoughts.
iRest® adapts Yoga Nidra for modern life through a structured approach to meditation and deep rest. Through body sensing, breath awareness and guided enquiry, you explore ways to meet your experience with greater ease, at your own pace.
Offered as individual sessions or our four-week course, iRest can be adapted to different needs and life circumstances. No previous meditation experience is needed.
