iRest is a guided self-inquiry meditation practice that helps the nervous system move toward a state of deep rest, wholeness and wellbeing. It promotes an integration of all levels - including but not limited to the physical, emotional and cognitive levels. iRest was developed by Dr. Richard Miller, a spiritual teacher, author, yogic scholar, researcher and clinical psychologist, who combined the traditional practice of Yoga Nidra with Western psychology and neuroscience.
Join Andrea to learn about this simple and accessible form of meditation designed for modern day living. With practice, it enables you to meet each moment of your life with unshakable peace and wellbeing, no matter how challenging or difficult your situation.

In this series, we will be moving through the koshas, or energy bodies, week by week to become more familiar with how they function as well as taking time to explore the emerging material in each.
