You’re invited to take an afternoon “off” to take care of you! Join Laura Patterson, a level 2 trained Integrative Restoration yoga instructor for this 2 hour mini retreat that will take you and your nervous system into relaxation response so you can recharge your mind and body. We will move through gentle yoga, undo any tension lingering from the week using therapy balls, offer space for personal insight with a few journal prompts, then drop into an iRest Yoga Nidra (sleep yoga) practice. Following the practice you will experience a crystal bowl sound bath to send you into your weekend. This afternoon is truly for anyone, regardless of whether you are a lifelong meditator or if you have never tried meditation before.

iRest Yoga Nidra can work to alleviate stress, help us sleep better, and heal unresolved issues and traumas. It can also help you recognize an underlying peace of mind that is always present within us no matter what circumstances we are facing in life.

People practicing iRest experience:
Decreased stress, anxiety, fear and depression
Improved sleep and decreased insomnia
An ability to better manage chronic and acute pain
Healthier interpersonal relations
Heightened energy levels
Improved sense of control
More confidence and joy in their lives
A greater sense of peace and well-being
