iRest Yoga Nidra
Group Courses
(Although these are not currently being offered the descriptions will help you understand a little more about the offering.)
iRest is a powerful therapeutic tool that differs in several ways from mindfulness as well as traditional psychotherapy. In contrast to psychotherapy iRest makes no attempt to change you, only to help you discover your own truth. iRest also differs in that it is designed as a spiritual practice. That is, iRest is meant to bring you into contact with your True Spiritual Nature as Pure Awareness. This brings a sense of ease in the world and sense of connection with all things.
