iRest is an evidence-based practice of deep relaxation and meditative inquiry that releases negative emotions and thought patterns, calms the nervous system and restores a deep sense of well-being and equanimity. Extensive research has shown that iRest effectively:
- Reduces post-traumatic stress disorder
- Reduces depression, fear and anxiety
- Reduces insomnia and sleep disturbances
- Reduces chronic and acute pain
- Improves the ability to relax and enjoy life
- Improves personal relationships
- Improves resiliency and coping skills
- Increases inner peace and well-being
It is an adjunctive treatment that has been integrated into veteran rehabilitation settings, homeless shelters, hospitals and clinics, hospice, schools and wellness and meditation centers.
Level-1 training is designed to provide you with the basic principles, history, theory, practice and delivery of iRest. This will allow you to incorporate the 10-step iRest protocol into your personal life, professional teaching or clinical practice.
This particular approach to yoga nidra was developed by Richard Miller, PhD. Please visit the iRest website, www.irest.us, for more information on his work and the research that supports his approach and documents its effectiveness.
