iRest Yoga Nidra Level 1 Teacher Training Information

Anyone can learn to teach iRest Yoga Nidra Guided Meditation!  In five days, you can learn this life-changing skill that can transform lives, including your own.  

The Level 1 training is designed to provide teachers with the history, basic principles, practice, theory and delivery of iRest. Taking a Level 1 course allows teachers to incorporate the simple 10-step iRest protocol into their professional teaching, clinical practice, and their personal life. iRest was designed for use in various settings that include, physical therapy, social work, yoga environments, alternative or integrative medical practices, in-job trainings, job resiliency programs, clinical and medical settings, and massage therapy.

Level 1 Teacher Trainings teach students the iRest Yoga Nidra principles in conjunction with in-depth east-west developmental and psycho/physical practices. Interactive dialogue, group practices, one-on-one deliveries of iRest, and your own personal experience of deep rest and relaxation are all part of the program.

LEVEL I TRAINING DESCRIPTION

Developed over 30 years by Richard Miller PhD, iRest Yoga Nidra Meditation supports psychological, physical and spiritual health, healing and awakening.

HOW IT WORKS

iRest is an accessible and easy to use meditation protocol that is integrative, as it heals unresolved issues and traumas, and restorative, as it aids practitioners in recognizing their innate wholeness and underlying peace of mind that is always present amidst all changing circumstances in life.

Research has shown that iRest effectively supports health and healing across a broad range of populations, including those experiencing PTSD, chronic pain, sleep issues, high stress, depression, and anxiety.

I use iRest to manage the daily pain caused by migraines and to find peace in the midst of stress and anxiety. – Nicole, Working Parent
