"iRest helps us to re-connect to our innate well-being and bring it to the surface of our experience." |
iRest Yoga Nidra is a guided form of meditation that provides a gentle and supported path into deep meditation. It is especially effective for people who struggle to settle their minds during their meditation practice. The guided nature of iRest provides an anchor for the mind, which helps you let go of intrusive thoughts, and release into a very deep state of relaxation.
iRest (short for integrative restoration) was developed by Dr. Richard Miller, a spiritual teacher, author, yogic scholar, researcher and clinical psychologist, who combined the traditional yogic practice of Yoga Nidra with Western psychology and neuroscience.
Research has demonstrated that iRest effectively reduces the symptoms of trauma, depression, anxiety, insomnia, chronic pain, mild traumatic brain injury, and chemical dependency. But more generally, it is a wonderful technique for coping with the stresses of daily life, helping you to build resilience, self-awareness, and self-regulation.
iRest is practiced and taught by thousands of people worldwide in a wide range of settings, including health centers, schools, community centers, yoga studios, correctional facilities and within military and veteran communities. There are a handful of iRest teachers in Canada, and I am honoured to be one of them.
