What is iRest?
This Sunday, Mickie Diamond is going to be facilitating a Yoga Nidra: iRest workshop, this Sunday, June 6th from 4:00 to 5:15 pm. The cost of the workshop is $15. REGISTER HERE
This workshop is for everyone and no experience with yoga or meditation is required. Just wear comfortable clothing and keep an open mind—-it will be lots of fun and you will leave deeply relaxed with some skills that you can use in your real life off the mat.
Here is some information about iRest that I have taken from the Integrative Restoration Institute website:
Would you like to live with greater ease of being, feel more relaxed, and sleep more soundly? Would you like to develop “tools for life” that enable you to rise above stress, anxiety, fear, pain, and emotional and mental turmoil? iRest is a deeply relaxing transformative practice that leads to physical, psychological, and spiritual health, healing, and well-being.
A non-movement-based meditation, iRest invites you to discover an intrinsic sense of peace that is always present, regardless of your life circumstances. You will learn to release negative body sensations, emotions, beliefs, and stress that otherwise give rise to self-destructive behaviors.
People who practice iRest report: • Decreased insomnia, • Reduced depression, anxiety and fear, • Decreased chronic and acute pain, • Improved interpersonal relations, • Increased inner peace and well-being. Extensively researched, iRest is used with PTSD-diagnosed soldiers and veterans, students, children, and the homeless, and people experiencing chemical dependency issues, chronic pain, and insomnia.
Intuitive Health: Yoga for your Spirit
Kari Samuels will be leading a series of workshops titled Intuitive Health at Yoga Matrika in October and November.
Intuitive Health: Balancing your Body, Mind and Spirit
We are all born with an intuitive awareness that guides us, protects us, and helps us make purposeful decisions. Through subtle messages from our body and our circumstances, our inner guidance communicates with us, leaading us towards our natural state of joy, vitality, and self-esteem. This fun, interactive class offers tools for transforming your life form the inside out. You will learn how to increase your positive energy, reclaim your power, and start living the prosperous healthy life you deserve.
October 21: Listening to your Body’s Wisdom
Every day you are receiving messages from your body that guide you towards your personal truth. In this workshop, you will learn now to listen to those subtle messages, so you can make empowering choices for your body and your life.
October 28: Mapping Your Inner Landscape
In this dynamic interactive class, you will explore your sacred architecture–the seven major energy centers of the body (chakras) and the human energy field, otherwise known as the aura. We will explore the many ways that your body reveals your personal blueprint, and ways you can create lasting change in your life through balancing your energy.
November 4: Positive Energy
Our outer world is a reflection of our internal reality. When we learn how to heal our fears and limitations, we can create more peaceful harmonious circumstances. This class offers practical techniques towards growth, healing and love. Practiced daily, these techniques will result in more joy, vitality, passion, and purpose.
November 11: The Energy of Relationships
We can attract and maintain healthy relationships when we understand the energy dynamics that transpire between ourselves and others. Through meditation and exercises, you will learn how to protect yourself against energy drains, create healthy boundaries, and live more compassionately towards yourself and others.
