Yoga International The iRest® Level 1 Training Launches Soon!

Dear Samira,

As I mentioned last month, I am so very pleased to announce that the Level 1 iRest® Yoga Nidra Meditation Teacher Training is now online on Yoga International. This comprehensive 25+ hour training offers you everything we teach during our in-person Level 1 iRest training.

This training is designed to help you establish or enhance your personal practice of meditation for health, healing, and awakening, as well as show you how to comprehensively teach the core principles and practices of iRest Yoga Nidra Meditation. You’ll receive direct teachings on the origins of iRest, its 10 Steps, its core principles, how to formulate your own practice, and how to teach iRest to groups and individuals.

You’ll learn:

• Eastern and Western psycho-spiritual perspectives that form the foundation of iRest Yoga Nidra.
• Background information on how the 38 steps of iRest integrate the philosophies of Samkhya, Patanjali, Advaita Nondualism, and Unqualified Nondual Realization.
• About the evidence-based research showing the efficacy of iRest and its use with various populations and psycho-physical issues.
• How to understand iRest as a comprehensive approach to meditation.
• Guidelines regarding the teacher-student relationship and ethical considerations.
• How to work one-on-one with people in what we call "iRest Co-Meditation Dyads.”
• An introduction to the common language that is used in iRest meditation.

The iRest protocol is designed for use in a variety of settings, including in your at-home personal practice; in yoga environments; in physical therapy, massage therapy, social work, clinical, and medical settings; in alternative or integrative medical practices; and in-job training and job resiliency programs.

I feel truly honored to be a part of this superb educational offering. I am also deeply moved by the sincerity and dedication of the entire Yoga International team who have helped bring this course to you.

I look forward to you joining us for this meaningful journey.

Love, Richard Miller
