Sacred iRest Yoga Nidra: A Therapeutic Journey to Renewal

In a world that prizes "doing," this class is a sanctuary for "being." This specialized therapeutic practice is designed to unravel deep-seated tension and guide you back to a state of profound inner peace. It is more than just a yoga class; it is a dedicated reset for your nervous system.

The Journey: From Breath to Stillness

Our practice begins with gentle, therapeutic movement and mindful breathwork. These foundational elements are carefully chosen to soften the body’s "armor," opening the channels of energy and slowing the racing mind. By synchronizing movement with conscious breathing, we signal to the brain that it is safe to let go.

The Deep Release: Progressive Muscle Relaxation

As we transition toward the floor, you will be guided through a 20-minute Deep Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR). This systematic technique involves gently tensing and then fully releasing specific muscle groups.

• Physical Softening: By consciously engaging and relaxing, you’ll identify where you hold "hidden" stress—often in the jaw, shoulders, or hips.

• Deep Preparation: This process physically exhausts the body’s tension, creating a hollow, open vessel perfectly primed for the deeper meditative work to follow.

The Destination: iRest® Yoga Nidra

The heart of our session concludes with iRest Yoga Nidra, a research-based transformative practice derived from the ancient teachings of Yoga Nidra and modernized by the iRest program.

Unlike traditional meditation where you sit upright, you will rest comfortably in a supported reclined position. iRest provides you with tools to navigate the various layers of the self—from the physical body and breath to emotions and beliefs. This practice helps you:

• Resolve Trauma & Stress: Effectively manage the "background noise" of a busy life.

• Enhance Resiliency: Build a calm center that remains steady despite external circumstances.

• Experience Pure Presence: Touch a state of deep, restorative "sleep with a trace of awareness" that leaves you feeling more rested than a full night’s slumber.

Why Choose This Practice?

• Total Nervous System Reset: Ideal for those dealing with burnout, insomnia, or high stress.

• Accessible Healing: No yoga experience is required; the focus is on internal sensation rather than physical flexibility.

• Profound Clarity: Leaves you with a sense of "wholeness" and a clearer perspective on your daily life.

Leave the noise of the world behind and return to the home within yourself.
