iRest Yoga Nidra is a relaxation practice which allows participants to lie down and rest deeply through guided meditation based on teachings from the yoga tradition and current research. It can be used to develop an inner resource to help navigate and transform negative emotions and thought patterns, calm the nervous system, and foster a deep capacity to meet life as it presents itself. iRest Yoga Nidra is especially effective in reducing stress, chronic pain, sleep issues, anxiety, and the effects of trauma.
iRest (Integrative Restoration) was developed by Richard C. Miller, PhD, and is currently being used by the U.S. Military in over 30 VA hospitals to treat veterans diagnosed with PTSD. Andrea recently completed Level 1 Training with Dr. Miller in California, and is pleased to offer this introduction to techniques you can practice anytime and anywhere.
