iRest Yoga Nidra Level 1 Trainings are designed to provide you with the basic principles, history, theory, practice, and delivery of iRest. This will allow you to incorporate the simple 10-step iRest protocol into your personal life, professional teaching, and/or clinical practices. 

This training is a multi-day practical and experiential program that teaches the research-backed 10-Step iRest Yoga Nidra Meditation protocol. It offers you all of the tools and experience required to deeply enrich your personal practice and teach the fundamentals of iRest to others.

This training is a dedicated time to embark on a journey to discover your unwavering inner resource of wellbeing and unlock simple and profound tools that transform how you meet yourself, navigate life and learn to support others to do the same. 

Who is this training for? Our students usually fall into three categories:

• The self-practitioners: People from all over the world who are seeking authentic connection, relief from inner turmoil, or are simply curious about meditation as a tool for self-inquiry.
• The 1-on-1 practitioners: Yoga therapists, psychologists, clinicians, and practitioners of the healing arts looking to learn new skills and incorporate this complementary practice into their toolbox. 
• The group facilitators: Professionals looking to teach iRest to people in general settings like yoga classes and more specialized treatment facilities such as rehabilitation centers. 

What will I learn?

• How to better understand your thoughts, emotions, and difficult experiences so that you can use them as messengers toward inner freedom and renewed ease.
• How to move beyond attachment and identification with your body, mind, and experiences to uncover feelings of peace, wholeness and authenticity.
• How to apply the 10-step iRest protocol in your own life and deliver it as an offering to individuals and groups.

By the end of the training you’ll be confident and competent in your personal practice and ability to guide and teach others.

Yoga is for everyone, and using a chair as a supportive prop can make the practice more accessible for students who 
would like a little extra support, whether it be in balancing postures, with getting up and down off the floor, or with any shape that would feel more supportive from a seated position.
 
Chair Yoga is perfect for students of all ages who may be recovering from injury or surgery or living with a chronic illness, who are pregnant or coming back to their practice, who may have some mobility challenges, or who are stuck at their desks all day. 
​Chair Yoga can be gentle, but it can also be a way to build strength and stamina, increase proprioception, improve balance, and help foster a sense of well-being.

During this 10 hour training you will:

• Learn ways to make postures more accessible for students of all ages and mobility using the chair in a variety of ways Learn chair postures and class sequences appropriate for different populations
