What is iRest Meditation?
 
iRest® Meditation is a research-based transformative practice of deep relaxation and meditation. It is especially helpful for anxiety, insomnia, depression, chronic and stress-related illnesses, or for anyone who wants to settle an over-active nervous system.

iRest was developed by the American psychologist and yogi, Richard Miller, and it is a modern adaptation of the ancient meditation practice of Yoga Nidra. Originally developed to support active duty and military veterans struggling with post-traumatic stress, iRest is now taught in a wide variety of settings around the world, including schools, homeless shelters, hospice, and yoga studios. 

Each class includes a short seated meditation, followed by a couple of restorative poses or gentle stretches. This will be followed by a 35 minute guided iRest practice, which is taken in any comfortable position, including lying down. iRest is appropriate for students of all levels, even complete beginners.


People using iRest report:
  • Decreased stress, anxiety, fear and depression
  • Decreased insomnia and sleep disturbances
  • Decreased perception of chronic and acute pain
  • Improved interpersonal relations
  • Increased energy levels
  • Increased sense of control in their lives
  • More confidence and joy in their lives
  • Greater sense of peace and well-being


What do I need for class?
Wear warm comfy, stretchable clothing - no jeans, belts etc.  Socks are a good idea as you'll want to stay warm during the session.
