This is a 45 minute class calm and simple as it combines the deep low drone sounds of the bowls to help the brainwaves slow down with iRest® Yoga Nidra. This is a form of guided meditation typically done lying down. It's an accessible meditation protocol that is integrative, as it heals unresolved issues and traumas, and restorative, as it aids practitioners in recognising the underlying peace of mind that is always present amidst all changing circumstances of life. iRest is an evidence based form of meditation that was developed by clinical psychologist Dr Richard Miller and combines ancient forms with positive psychology. You can read more about it here I began practicing it when pregnant with my daughter some 24 years ago and was one of the first certified teachers in NZ. It's a very effective form of meditation that combines both mindfulness and insight suitable for all levels of experience.
