Community iRest Yoga Nidra with Heather Oblak

The purpose of yoga is to calm the mind. iRest® Yoga Nidra provides a safe and supported space where you will experience deep rest and an opportunity to explore your inner experience and access your center of harmony and well-being.

iRest empowers you to access your innate ability to:

• calm your mind
• release stress
• increase resiliency
• connect meaningfully with yourself and others
• cultivate greater mastery and balance in life

iRest supports the resolution of issues such as:

• insomnia
• anxiety
• trauma
• fear

And nourishes qualities such as:

• compassion
• patience
• peacefulness
• joy

Rooted in the ancient Indian meditative technique of yoga nidra, iRest is a contemporary evidence-based practice that leads to physical, psychological and spiritual transformation and well-being. It is a guided practice that requires only that you listen. As your body rests in a fully supported seated or lying position, you are free to choose to engage with the suggestions as they resonate with you in each moment. Adaptable to your unique needs, the practice will guide you to tap into your own resources and activate your innate source of wisdom and healing energy.

This class offers you a supportive space to mindfully nurture your body, mind, heart and spirit. It is presented as a 6-part series that takes you on a journey into yourself as you explore the 6 primary dimensions of human experience – sensation, energy, emotion, intellect, joy, and consciousness. Engaging regularly in this practice will help you to redesign your patterns of thinking and behaving towards a more integrated and balanced way of being. Attendance at all 6 sessions, in sequence, is recommended to receive the full benefits of the practice.

The schedule will be as follows:

June 10: Sensation 

June 17: Energy

June 24: Emotion

July 1: Intellect

July 8: Joy

July 15: Consciousness

The intention of this series is to provide you with practical tools for self-empowerment to take home with you and apply in your own life, in your own time. Each weekly 60-minute class includes a presentation, worksheet, and 40-minute guided practice. 

Appropriate for all levels of experience and ability. Beginners welcome and encouraged.
